The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



OCTOBBB 24, 1907. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



The Hanford Nursery Co., of Han- 

 ford, Wash., has been incorporated, with 

 a capital stock of $40,000. The incor- 

 porators are John H. Lynch, H. L. Young 

 and James A. Louden. 



PROGRESS AT SAN FRANCISCO. 



The accompanying illustration is from 

 the architect's drawing of the front 

 for the new building being erected by 

 Pelicano, Rossi & Co., at 211 and 213 

 Kearny street, San Francisco. The firm 

 was located at 225 Kearny street prior to 

 the big fire of April 18, 1906, so that the 

 occupancy of the new premises will 

 bring them back to within half a block 

 of their previous location. It shows that 

 they at least have confidence that San 

 Francisco when rebuilt will have its bet- 

 ter class of business located much as be- 

 fore the fire. It is expected that the new 

 building will be completed by December 

 1. It will be occupied at once and will 

 be run in conjunction with the stofe now 

 located at 1343 Sutter street. In send- 

 ing the drawings Pelicano, Bossi & Co.

The Market 



We have had several good days for 

 the retailers since last week's notations, 

 but at the present writing things have 

 quieted down again to the usual extent 

 and I do not look for much improvement 

 until the city elections have been dis- 

 posed of. Still, flowers move fairly

■ay: "We think it will be of some in- 

 terest to florists at large in showing that 

 the florists' business in San Francisco 

 is progressing and is just as good, if 

 not better, than it was at the time of the 

 great fire." , ,. 



well, with the exception of outdoor 

 mums. These are in such plentiful sup- 

 ply at this time that a great many of 

 them do not find purchasers. It is a 

 great item of satisfaction with the grow- 

 ers, however, to be able to get stock

enough and some to spare at a reason- 

 able figure, and this is the first chance 

 they have had since the height of the 

 aster crop several months ago. 



Indoor mums, especially of Bonnaffon, 

 are in splendid shape and are netting 

 the growers very fair returns. The 

 white sorts have been eagerly bought up 

 until the present time, but now they are 

 not being cleared up quite as fast. 



Indoor roses are becoming more plen- 

 tiful in the stores, but not so much so 

 with the growers. The quantifies of 

 chrysanthemums and their popularity, at 

 the present time have given the roses a 

 chance to linger longer than usual in 

 the store windows and one gets a chance 

 to make comparisons which up to this 

 time have been impossible. Carnations 

 are much more plentiful than they were 

 and partly for the same reason. The 

 weather continues warm, with no signs 

 of rain. A shower would freshen things 

 somewhat, but if it were too severe the 

 late mums would probably suffer seri- 

 ously. 



Varioui Notes. 



J. J. O'Connor has opened a store on 

 Fillmore street, near the corner of Hayes 

 street. 



Thomas Thompson, the nurseryman of 

 Santa Cruz, is in town. 



H. Gresens, who recently sold out hie 

 floral establishment, is contemplating s 

 European trip in a few weeks. 



Considerable interest is being taken 

 by the local growers in the forthcoming 

 Marin County Horticultural Society ex- 

 hibition, to be held in San Bafael on 

 Saturday, October 26. A good show it 

 promised by the committee in charge.

THE STAPLE ROSES. 



A trip through some of our large rose- 

 growing establishments shows that there 

 has been little planted in the way of 

 new varieties for the coming season '•
