The Weekly Florists' Review.

growers and the stringency has eased 

 somewhat. 



■■\ Other varieties of outdoor stock have 

 been greatly in demand, but have been 



f used pricipally for window decorations 

 in place of more expensive flowers. Vio- 

 I lets, owing to the continued heat, are 

 still scarce and of poor quality and 

 their keeping taxes the ingenuity of 

 the florist to the utmost. The price of 



.' all grades of stock has not advanced 

 for a fortnight but I look for another 

 small rise in a couple of weeks. 



Various Notes. 



F, Brandt is on a month's trip to Pas- 

 adena and Los Angeles. 



Miss Manning, formerly in business 

 here, is now in charge of the decorating 

 at Idora park, Oakland. 



Chas. Stappenback is at last firmly 

 established at his old stand on Polk 

 street near Sutter. This street is rapidly 

 filling up with new 1»Iocks of stores. 



Podesta & Baldocchi report a very satis- 

 factory business for thie month "bf Sep- 

 tember. This firm make a specialty of 

 shipping and they have had their hands 

 full in this line all summer. 



Several Japanese have been looking at 

 available sites in the neighborhood of 

 Elmhurst with the intention of starting 

 an ornamental nursery at that place. 

 They claim to represent several of the 

 largest nurseries in Japan and intend 

 to open a depot for them here. 



Miss Solomon, the well known Oakland 

 decorator, reports several big decorations 

 for the early winter season. 



B. L. Sayres will take a trip to Port- 

 land, Ore., during the coming two weeks. 



G. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



It is announced that Prof. A. Van 

 Holderbeke, ex-oommissioner of horticul- 

 ture of the state of Washington, now a 

 Spokane man, and J. F. Littooy, former 

 fruit inspector of Snohomish county, will 

 establish in the Wenatchee valley one of 

 the largest nurseries in the northwest. 

 They will plant eighty acres each year for 

 five years and the planting of the trees 

 will begin this fall. Mr. Van Holder- 

 beke is quoted as saying: "The plan 

 we now have laid out will be to get the 

 nursery started immediately. For five 

 years we will put out eighty acres each 

 season. To provide for this we have 

 made a contract with the Wenatchee 

 Canal Co. by which they are to furnish 

 eighty acres each season. All kinds of 

 fruit trees will be set out. In fact, we 

 have 200,000 trees now growing. ' '

The Market. 



There is a decided improvement in 

 the market since last report. There is 

 a great demand for good stock and the 

 supply of roses and carnations is short. 

 What stock is brought in by home grow- 

 ers is of good quality, especially pink 

 and white roses. Some had to send to 

 Chicago for stock to help out, there 

 being quite a number of weddings and 

 funeral work, beside two of our annual 

 Priest of Pallas and carnival balls. 



There are no chrysanthemums on this 

 market yet and it will be a week or 

 more before there will be any. The buds 

 are quite small and they seem to be 

 developing slowly. The late dahlias are 

 more plentiful now, as we have yet had 

 no killing frost.

Varieut Notes. 



Miss Jewell has been quite busy this 

 week. She had a large wedding, deco- 

 rating St. Aloysius church, also the home 

 of the bride, which kept her rushing for 

 a few days. 



Ed Tolquist, who has been in Colorado 

 since last February, on account of poor 

 health, will return this week. He has 

 been employed by Miss Dalley since he 

 was a small boy. "We will all be pleased 

 to see him back again and hope he has 

 regained his good health. 



Mr. Thornhill, of Rosedale, has made 

 his rounds among the trade this week. 

 He is taking orders for sweet cider and 

 apples. He has picked twenty-three 

 bushels of apples from one tree alone. 

 He has also a large field of cannas which 

 he expects to dig next week. 



Ernest Greschoff, who has been keep- 

 ing the flower beds on the Paseo in fine 

 shape, so that they were greatly admired 

 by the many visitors here last week dur- 

 ing the carnival, is now digging the best 

 plants for stock and they are being taken 

 to the city greenhouses at Swope park. 



Mr. Freudenthal keeps up with the 

 season. His store seems somewhat small 

 for such a large business. He keeps 

 every corner full of good stock. 



Jacob Tobler, in Westport, is busy. 

 We see his wagon rushing around with 

 palms. 



The People's Floral Co. was busy last 

 week. It had the decorating of several
