The Rorists' Revic\xr 



71 



"Washington location having proved a 

 good one in every way. 



Ed. Bust, of South Pasadena, has dis- 

 continued his Qalesyard on West Wash- 

 ington street. 



C. L. Washburn, of Bassett & Wash- 

 burn, Chicago, was a caller last week. 

 He reports having an excellent time 

 here, and is about to return at once. 

 The years seem to sit lightly on the 

 members of this firm, past and present, 

 for I never saw Mr. Washburn looking 

 better, E. B. Washburn, who accom- 

 panied his father, has a coat of true 

 California tan, and looks as though his 

 new home suited him also.

The Market. 



The market has been devoid of ex- 

 citement during the last week, but 

 business continues good. The schools 

 will open shortly, and that should help 

 counter trade a little. The better 

 known shops continue to get many or- 

 ders for conventions and exposition 

 affairs. Sweet peas are scarce, and 

 such as appear are of poor quality; 

 -they will soon be out of the market. 

 Carnations also are increasingly scarce, 

 as the old plants are being pulled up, 

 and there is considerable demand, not- 

 withstanding the larger supplies of 

 asters. The latter are good and find 

 a ready market. 



Some varieties of outdoor summer 

 stock that have been so plentiful are 

 playing out, but in general there is 

 still an abundance. Coreopsis, gail- 

 lardias, gypsophilas, nice mignonette and 

 fine, large scabiosas can be had in any 

 quantity at reasonable prices. Gladioli 

 still hold up fairly well. Just now 

 there is a large cut of Mrs. Francis 

 King, Panama and Niagara, better than 

 the usual average in quality. The 

 weather has been too warm for dahlias, 

 which average a trifle small, but some 

 fine stock is coming from north of the 

 bay, and common varieties are plenti- 

 ful. The big German gathering here 

 has caused a boom in cornflowers. 



Mums are much better and more 

 plentiful, but it will be some time be- 

 fore there will be enough for shipping. 

 In addition to Monrovia, a few Golden 

 Glow are seen, and a few blossoms of 

 October Frost have been brought in, 

 but not enough to sell. Lilies are still 

 much in evidence; this week cold stor- 

 age giganteums have been added to the 

 offerings. Good roses are scarce, and 

 all offerings clean up readily. There 

 is a good cut of Ophelia, but little 

 of other varieties. A good many 

 nice amaryllis blooms are offered. A 

 few more orchids are appearing, but 

 they are still scarce. Gardenias are 

 in good demand, with supplies fair in 

 both quantity and quality. There is 

 little interest in potted stock. Some fine 

 cockscomb, including odd varieties, is 

 seen, and there are a few primulas, but 

 they are not much in demand. 



Various Notes. 

 The E. W. MdLellan Co. has moved 

 into its new store, at 451 Bush street, 

 but it will take some time to put the 

 place in its final shape, as many im- 

 provements are to be made, in keeping 

 with a general enlargement of the scope 

 of the company's business. The store 

 is finely lighted from both front and 

 rear, and contains more space than 

 will be needed for the company's own

use. Arrangements are accordingly be- 

 ing made to sublet about 2,000 square 

 feet on the ground floor as stalls for 

 the independent growers, who have 

 been selling their stock on the street, 

 with no shelter in wet weather. A 

 large section of the basement will be 

 sublet to the Chinese growers, who 

 bring in many of the asters, mums, 

 sweet peas, etc. The E. W. McLellan 

 Co. will engage in the wholesale ship- 

 ping business on a larger scale than 

 ever, handling during the coming sea- 

 son, in addition to its own products, 

 the stock of about forty aster and mum 

 growers, and violets from a consider- 

 able acreage. Two large iceboxes will 

 be built, more than doubling the for- 

 mer cold storage capacity, and a sec- 

 tion will be devoted to a line of gen- 

 eral florists' supplies. The basement 

 will be changed to permit the com- 

 pany's motor truck to run in. The 

 company is making large shipments of 

 asters to outside points at present. A
