The Florists' Review 



November 6, 1013. 



Mr. Pelicano's genial personality has 

 made his absence from the store and 

 from the brothers of the trade much 

 felt. If he would work less and rest 

 more, we think his health would im- 

 prove. 



The San Francisco Floral Co., of 

 which V. Azzaro is the head, has just 

 opened a new store in Fresno. Mr. 

 Azzaro has made a success of the busi- 

 ness in Stockton and we wish him 

 continued success in his new branch. 



Sievers & Co. are preparing to open 

 their new retail establishment on Polk 

 street. The arrival of the Sievers peo- 

 ple on that street makes it a florists' 

 row, as there are already five shops 

 within four blocks. W. A. H. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was some- 

 what cooler, with bright days, which 

 had a tendency to force the chrysan- 

 themums along, and now we are fairly 

 in the midst of a glut of these flow- 

 ers. The mums are of excellent qual- 

 ity; some extra fine specimens of Mrs. 

 David Syme, Chrysolora and Sisowath 

 have recently been noted. Carnations 

 are of excellent quality, but the sup- 

 ply is far short of the demand. Home- 

 grown violets are selling well; so are 

 roses, but there is nothing like enough 

 of either of these flowers to fill the 

 demand. 



Various Notes. 



Several of the florists visited Henry 

 Benthien on Sunday, October 26. A 

 fine dining room table was presented 

 to Mr. and Mrs. Benthien by the vis- 

 itors, on behalf of the Florists' Club. 



The next regular meeting of the 

 Florists' Club will be held November 

 20. J. L. S. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The stores are all crowded with 

 chysanthemums, which are moving 

 well, and business along all lines is 

 good. The recent fine weather has 

 helped trade and the retailers have had 

 their hands full. Carnations are loos- 

 ening up a little, but there are not 

 half enough for the demand so far. 

 Roses are of good quality and are 

 selling as fast as they are received. 

 California violets are poor, and there 

 is little local stock on sale. Cycla- 

 mens and a few Lorraine begonias are 

 offered and ferns and palms are selling 

 well. 



Various Notes. 



The Seattle Floral Co. received a 

 large shipment of palms, etc., from 

 Europe last week. 



The H. B. Burdett Co. is busy un- 

 packing araucarias, palms, azaleas, 

 etc., received from Europe. 



J. J. Bonnell is quite busy these days. 

 He saya the planting season so far is 

 better than it has been for years and 

 orders ate larger and better than for 

 some time. 



Growers of lilies for Easter have re- 

 ceived their bulbs, mostly in good 

 shape. While some growers have de- 

 creased the number to be grown, others 

 have increased, so that there will be 

 about the usual quantity. 



There was a large attendance- at 

 the special meeting of the Florists' 

 Club Monday, October 27, called to 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Over five hundred thousand this season, all colors, and in any 

 quantity. Positively the best stock on the market. Prices right. 



We are also headquarters for Roaes, Orchids, Lilies, 

 Violets, Greens, and in fact everything for the florist.
