TE^eddy Florists' Review. 



November 14, 1907. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Walla Walla, Wash. — A flower store 

 was opened November 9 by , Fred ^M. 

 Young, at 7 East Main street. Mr. Young 

 has been a^ employee of Martin & 

 Forbes, at Portland, Ore., and has been 

 in the trade for the last fifteen years. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The Ikst week was a strenuous one 

 with the florists, both retailers and 

 wholesalers. The entire town thought 

 of but little else than the municipal 

 election. The excitement had a depress- 

 ing effect on all kinds of business and 

 the flower sellers had to suffer with the 

 rest. But, from general opinions, the 

 best man won and by a handsome major- 

 ity, so that portion of the trouble has 

 been lived through and from appearances 

 we will have better business to ohronicle 

 next week. 



^ The attitude of the banks in their 

 disinclination to allow customers to draw 

 more than a nominal amount from their 

 accounts, also has had the effect of 

 keeping things down to a cash basis, and 

 although this may be a good idea from 

 a financial standpoint, it makes the poor 

 retailer wish that such things could be 

 regulated without the necessity of his 

 having to take the short end. 



However, such things cannot last for 

 an indefinite time. Already the horizon 

 is clearing and, with the municipal elec- 

 tions out of the way, there is no reason 

 why San Francisco should not soon ex- 

 perience a partial return of the good 

 times that characterized the city before 

 the fire changed the general plans of 

 everybody and everything. 



Various Notes. 



J. J. O'Connor has given up his store 

 on Devisadero street and Golden Gate 

 avenue. 



E. Lacazette, of Elmhurst, is cutting 

 heavily from his new range of rose 

 houses. His stock of Kaiserin is in 

 splendid shape at this time. 



P. J. Thorsted & Co., of Fruitvale, 

 are cutting largely of Enchantress and 

 other high-class stock. 



D. Raymond, of San Jose, is in town. 

 Mr. Raymond reports the demand for 

 flower pots exceptionally heavy. 



Chas. Butler is on a three weeks' visit 

 to Los Angeles and San Diego. 



F. Morris, formerly a well-known 

 landscape gardener of San Jose, has re- 

 moved to Oakland, where he will follow 

 the same lines of work. G. 



MARIN COUNTY FLOWER SHOW. 



The Marin County Horticultural So- 

 city gave a largo exhibition at San 

 Rafael October 26 in Armory hall. The 

 weather was not the most pleasant, but 

 that did not prevent the exhibition from 

 being crowded with flower lovers. Much 

 credit is due to John Martin, J. F. Boyd, 

 A. W. Foster and others for generous 

 assistance. The entire front of the hall 

 was occupied by the display of H. 

 Schlueter, of the Laurel Grove Nursery. 

 It represented a semicircular pyramid of 

 f^ms, chrysanthemums, gladioli and 

 tknnas. The display attracted much at- 

 tention, but was not entered in the com- 

 petition.
