for his vacation. Fred Westrem, of 

 the same store, was married July 17 to 

 Miss Lolita Hindra. 



Peter McKenzie, recently gardener 

 for Dr. Schiffman, of Pasadena, was 

 married to Miss O 'Brien recently. 



C. Terbush, formerly of the East Side 

 Nurseries, at North Main street, has 

 a fine lot of deciduous fruit trees and 

 some ornamentals at his place of eleven 

 acres across the hills from Montebello. 



C. Frauenfelder, of Chicago, 111., is 

 among our visitors this week. 



W. Wern, manager of Wright's 

 Flower Shop, and Mrs. Wern started 

 on an auto tour this week and expect 

 to be gone about a month. They in- 

 tend to drive to Santa Barbara, from 

 there to San Francisco, thence to 

 Yosemite and Lake Tahoe and back 

 through the Owens river valley. 



Polder & Groen have their green- 

 houses practically finished, except glaz- 

 ing. They are shipping fine carnations.

The Market. 



Business at the larger downtown 

 shops has taken a sudden spurt within 

 the last week, owing to some big spe- 

 cial decorations and accelerated counter 

 trade due to the presence of important 

 Shriner and Elk gatherings. On at 

 least one occasion the market was abso- 

 lutely cleaned up in some of the staple 

 lines. It is safe to say that the down- 

 town florists have never before enjoyed 

 such a rush at this time of year, and 

 not often at any season except around 

 Christmas. Those on less frequented 

 streets are not so busy, but most of 

 them are also getting a share of the 

 activity. It is hard to tell what can 

 be counted on for the near future, but 

 with the convention season in full swing 

 and more people coming into town all 

 the time, it looks as if there would be 

 no more real dullness this year. 



The new system in the carnation mar- 

 ket is getting adjusted and seems to be 

 giving satisfaction all around, though 

 it is a little early to draw conclusions. 

 The flowers are still plentiful, but 

 prices hold steady. Sweet peas are go- 

 ing off, both in quality and quantity. 

 Asters are of better quality and the 

 increasing supplies still clean up well. 

 Sunflowers figure largely in the offer- 

 ings. Large quantities of coreopsis are 

 used, and the flood of stocks, gaillardias, 

 scabiosas, mignonette, gypsophilas, go- 

 detias, etc., continues, though practically 

 all are sold. Gladioli are still coming 

 in well, and some florists are getting 

 from private sources some fine varieties, 

 which could hardly be profitably grown 

 for the open market. Dahlias are still 

 improving and the supplies of first-class 

 stock in several popular varieties are 

 ample. There is rather an excess of 

 cut tritonias. Some fine yellow tiger 

 lilies are appearing, and these, together 

 with rubrum, make a brilliant showing 

 in the windows. Roses are fair, on the 

 whole, and the sales have been large, 

 but ppa?niodic. I'lrieh B-unnor is still 

 good and quite popular. Beauties clean 

 up readily, with moderate offerings. 

 Russell, Ophelia and Sunburst are mov- 

 ing well. Orchids have been scarce 

 the last few days, and, with a strong 

 counter demand for high-priced stock,, 

 many more could have been sold than 

 were offered. Gardenias have cleaned 

 up readily. Of potted stock, hydrangeas

Various Notes. 



Mrs. J. Wessell, bookkeeper for Peli- 

 cano, Rossi & Co., has just returned 

 from a vacation trip, during which she 

 motored up into Humboldt county, and 

 from there to Lake Tahoe and Reno, 

 Nev, 



The conventions of the Rotary Clubs, 

 Shriners, Elks, etc., are bringing a lot 

 of florists to San Francisco, and many 

 of them have taken the opportunity to 

 get acquainted with the local trade. 

 Most of them express delight with San 

 Francisco, the exposition and the Cali- 

 fornia climate, and a number who have 

 lately arrived plan to stay over until 

 after the S. A. F. convention. Among 

 the recent arrivals was John Young, 

 secretary of the 8. -A- F., who is look- 

 ing after a lot of preliminary details 

 in preparation for the convention. An- 

 other is Vincent Gorly, of St. Louis, 

 who expects to spend the latter part of 

 the month on a trip to Los Angeles and 

 San Diego, returning here for the con- 

 vention; also Sam Lundy, of Denver, 

 Colo., formerly with Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co., who left here four and a half years 

 ago and returns wearing a fez. Carl 

 B.iiim, of Knoxville, Tenn., came in a 

 day or two ago, and has already had to
