The Florists^ Review

San Francisco fair and reports a fine 

 time. 6. Newman is no longer connect- 

 ed with the firm of S. Murata & Co. 

 He is now in San Francisco and is 

 figuring on either an eastern trip or a 

 trip to Japan. I noted the first Golden 

 Glow chrysanthemums at this store this 

 week and the new-crop carnations are 

 coming along finely. 



Walter Garbett, manager of Dar- 

 ling's Flower Shop, has gone to Cata- 

 lina island for a two weeks' vacation. 



Mr. and Mrs. F. Lichtenberg have 

 gone to Bear Valley for their vacation. 

 Carl Brose has gone to the mountains 

 in Ventura county for deer and Bert 

 . Bateman is holding down the stand. A 

 lot of good funeral wOrk was reported. 



C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery 

 Co., and H. W. Turner, of Montebello, 

 left for the convention August 15. 



Tassano Bros, report large advance 

 orders for the September fashion show. 



The newer cannas are making an 

 elegant display at the nursery of the 

 Germain Seed & Plant Co., on the Whit- 

 tier road. In previous years the green 

 corn bug has given a lot of trouble, 

 but dusting with Corona Dry, an ar- 

 senate of -lead preparation, has given 

 splendid results against this pest in 

 the present season. H. R. Richards. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



It looks as if August, normally one 

 of the poorest business months, may 

 be the best month of this year. Cer- 

 tainly the stores are keeping remark- 

 ably busy, and with the convention of 

 the S. A. F. last week demanding at- 

 tention, the florists of San Francisco 

 and vicinity have had a strenuous 

 week. Although there was little 

 change in counter trade and general 

 decorations, funeral and wedding busi- 

 ness has been decidedly active. 



There is still a heavy supply of 

 scabiosas, stocks, calliopsis, coreopsis, 

 marigolds, marguerites, gypsophilas, 

 mignonette, etc., most of which prom- 

 ise to hold out for some time. Many 

 nice sunflowers are being sold. Zinnias 

 are offered more freely, but are poor in 

 quality. A few sweet peas are still ar- 

 riving, but most of them are trashy. 

 New-crop carnations are not yet much 

 of a factor, and old stock is playing 

 out, the daily offerings being light and 

 poor. The market is heavily supplied 

 with asters, which are in rather lighter 

 demand. Chrysanthemums are becom- 

 ing better, and the increasing supply 

 cleans up readily. The chrysanthemums 

 are chiefly Golden Glow, Monrovia and 

 October Frost, but several other varie- 

 ties are expected soon, and the ship-
