The Florists' Review 



SsPTaMBBB 9, 1916. 



following the conventions here last 

 month, returned the first of the week 

 and they are of one accord in the opin^ 

 ion that the trip was a grand success. 

 They were the guests of Charles Willis 

 Ward at Eureka for two days, before 

 leaving on the trip to the Klamath 

 river, and Mr. Ward entertained them 

 to the best of his ability, which means 

 that they were well cared for. The 

 automobile trip of 100 miles from 

 Eureka up the coast was one of the 

 pleasant featured of the trip, and 

 equally pleasant was the 3-mile ride 

 up the Klamath river in canoes and a 

 gasoline launch, which brought the 

 party to the camping ground at the 

 mouth of Ah-Pah creek, where Mr. 

 Ward had a most comfortable and pic- 

 turesque camp in the heart of a redwood 

 timber belt ready for their reception. 

 They remained there a week, hunting, 

 fishing and tramping over the hills. One 

 of the local m^nbers states that the 

 tramping was his favorite diversion, as 

 the scenery was wonderful. He says 

 he had no idea such a beautiful natural 

 ^owth of f eras existed in the state. 

 Professors R. T. Stevens and 0. F. 

 Shaw, of the University of California, 

 returned home August 28 and the rest 

 of the party came in August 30, in- 

 cluding Daniel MacRorie, H. Plath and 

 Frank Pelicano. 



Charles Willis Ward, of Eureka, Cal., 

 has purchased the remainder of the 

 Eden tract, approximately fifty acres, 

 adjoining the eight acres which he al- 

 ready owned in the tract, on which are 

 located the Cottage Gardens nurseries. 

 It is understood a portion of the new 

 purchase will be used for necessary ex- 

 tensions of the nurseries. 



A. J. Burt, of Spokane, Wash., re- 

 mained in San Francisco for a fort- 

 night after the convention, to visit the 

 exposition and study the markets here.

The Maa^k'^^: 



Business for the month o£iuAugust 

 was better by a considerable per- 

 centage than that of the same month 

 a ^6ar ago. , The demand for flowers 

 last week showed a marked improve- 

 ment over the previous week. This in- 

 crease was due to an improvement in 

 general business conditions and is con- 

 sidered as an encouraging opening of 

 early fall trade. 



With the exception of asters, there 

 were no surplus flowers. The cut of 

 carnations has increased slightly, but 

 the cut of roses has decreased until 

 there is a scarcity of some colors. 

 There is a good cut of Ophelia, but 

 barely enough to go around. Orchids 

 are getting more plentiful and are of 

 excellent" quality. Gladioli, sweet peas 

 and some* varieties of garSen ^ow«rs 

 still arrive in large quantities, and 

 some of the stores are showing blooms 

 cut from their cyclamens. 



Various Notes. 



Philip Breitmeyer, ex-mayor of De- 

 troit, stopped over on his way home

 during the short stay he made here.
