The Florists' Review 



63 



otherwise move rather slowly. Asters 

 are fully holding their own. Some 

 really good mums are to be had, con- 

 sisting mostly of Golden Glow and Oc- 

 tober Frost. There are also Monrovias, 

 a few nice Crockers and an occasional 

 bunch of rose-pink and white pompons, 

 which promise to be popular as usual. 

 The general run of prices is nothing 

 extra. Lilium rubrum still is seen 

 everywhere, and finds a good demand. 

 There are not many Lilium tigrinum 

 or auratum, and supplies of giganteum 

 are limited. A good many short roses 

 are shipped in, but really good stock is 

 scarce and cleans up quickly. A few 

 good Beauties are seen. Ophelia is im- 

 mensely popular; Killarney Brilliant 

 sells well in some quarters and Had- 

 ley is holding its own. A few forced 

 violets are appearing, but nothing fit 

 to ship will appear for several weeks. 

 Cyclamen blooms are fine and quite 

 popular. There has been a good de- 

 mand for valley, but there is no short- 

 age. The quality is good. The few 

 orchids that appear are fine, and clean 

 up quickly. Gardenias are well taken. 



Convention Echoes. 



The reception of the Ladies ' S. A. F., 

 in the California building at the exposi- 

 tion, on Florists' day, August 20, was, 

 for the ladies at least, one of the most 

 enjoyable functions of the convention 

 period. Including the local and visit- 

 ing ladies, there were over 100 present. 

 Talks were given by all the visiting 

 ladies and several of those residing 

 near San Francisco. A farewell ad- 

 dress was given by Walter Hofinghoff, 

 chairman of the local committee on 

 ladies ' entertainment. 



A considerable number of the visit- 

 ing florists were entertained by the Los 

 Angeles trade last week. Some of them 

 are expected back in San Francisco 

 before they start east. 



Messages have been received from 

 some of the party who went to Eureka 

 August 21 with Charles Willis Ward, 

 indicating that he is giving them royal 

 entertainment. In the party are Daniel 

 MacRorie, Mr. Shearer, superintendent 

 of parks at Los Angeles; Professor Ste- 

 vens, of the University of California; 

 Frank Pelicano, Peter Rock, Mr. Urqu- 

 hart, of the Panama-Pacific exposition; 

 John Morley and H. Plath. The party 

 reached Eureka August 21. They vis- 

 ited the Cottage Gardens Nursery the 

 following day, and from there went to 

 the nursery farm at Carlotta. In the 

 afternoon they inspected the big mills 

 of the Pacific Lumber Co., at Scotia, 

 where the giant redwoods are cut into 

 lumber. Sunday evening, August 22, 

 a reception was given at the hotel in 

 Eureka, and the next morning the party 

 set out for the famous Ah Pah ranch, 

 traversing the densest and finest for- 

 ests of giant redwoods.
