The Florists' Review 



66 



«hops, as a result of the great number 

 ' of visitors here to attend the exposition. 

 This has furnished an outlet for the 

 If best flowers obtainable, and the less 

 ' desirable stock has gone into decora- 

 tions of one kind and another, so the 

 4ail7 offerings have been cleaned up 

 well. The returns for August were par- 

 ticularly gratifying, as that is usually 

 About the quietest month of the year 

 here. 



Theire is little change in the nature of 

 the offerings since last w|)ek, but on 

 the whole the flowers have improved. 

 'Chrysanthemums are coming in more 

 freely and show better quality. There 

 are large supplies of October Frost and 

 Monrovia, and a good many Crocker 

 are appearing. They clean up readily 

 At 75 eents to $1.50 a dozen. Dahlias 

 ■continue plentiful and the quality is ex- 

 cellent for this time of year. They are 

 used to good advantage for show pur- 

 poses and work in nicely in decorative 

 work. The supply of gladioli is drop- 

 ping off, but so is the demand, and 

 there is enough good stock to fill re- 

 ■quirements. Some fine late asters are 

 being received. Good carnations are 

 fltill scarce, but better offerings are ex- 

 pected shortly, as the cut from the 

 young stock is improving rapidly. Ama- 

 ryllis, offered in great quantity, finds a 

 fair demand. Zinnias are plentiful, but 

 , the quality is poor and they, do not 

 move well. Sweet peas still appear in 

 limited quantities and the good stock 

 is readily absorbed. Small outdoor 

 stock, which has flooded the market 

 for weeks, is beginning to drop off. 



Hot weather is having some effect 

 upon the rose offerings, but, on the 

 whole, the quality averages a little bet- 

 ter than it has for several weeks. 

 Ophelia, Hadley, Ward and Killarney 

 Brilliant are all doing better. Long 

 stock sells readily. Valley was scarce 

 last week. Lilium rubrum is keeping 

 its popularity well, and the limited 

 quantity of tigrinum moves quickly. 



Varioos Notes. 



The United Flower & Supply Co., 

 which handles the output of chrysan- 

 themums from the Japanese growers, is 

 receiving more and finer stock daily. 

 Crocker, Monrovia and October Frost 

 are plentiful and the company expects 

 to start shipping about the middle of 

 the month. The same firm wiU ship vio- 

 lets this season also. 



J. A. Axell, of the E. W. McLellan 

 Co., says that while some violets are 

 already appearing on the market, his 

 firm will not begin shipping east until 

 about October 15, the usual time, when 

 the flowers will have good keeping 

 quality. 



At a well attended meeting of the 

 Ladies' Auxiliary of the Paciflc Coast 

 Horticultural Society last week, in the 

 Phelan building, it was decided to hold 

 regular meetings on the last Tuesday 

 of each month. Arrangements are also 

 being made for joint meetings with the 

 men at regular intervals, to promote 

 harmony between the two organiza- 

 tions. 



A new flower shop is being opened at 

 1462 Sutter street, by Mr. Euentzel. 



Frank Pelicano is bringing in a big 

 cut of fine dahlias, which figure prom- 

 inently in his store windows. The pres- 

 ent cut consists principally of the four 

 varieties, Delice, Geisha, Mrs. Eidwell 

 and Minnie Berger. 



H. Avansino, of the Fairmount Flo- 

 ral Co., says business has kept up bet- 

 ter this summer than in former years,
