The Weekly Florists' Review. 



June 18, 1908. 



PitCIFIC COAST. 



San Anselmo, Cal. — B. Brennfleck, 

 proprietor of the San Anselmo Nursery, 

 is going to Europe with his da^ughter, 

 who will stay one year in Heidelberg to 

 finish her education. She is a graduate 

 of the San Rafael high school.

Rose Carnival. 



The rose carnival, ending June 6, was 

 unanimously voted a great success, not- 

 withstanding the fact that the rose crop 

 was a disappointment and fell short of 

 the demand. Jt was one whole week 

 of jollification and hustle, and the people 

 of Portland had not seen such a lively 

 time since the Lewis and Clark fair. The 

 street car company reported handling 

 300,000 passengers in one day, 50^0 

 more than were carried on any one day 

 during the fair. It proved a greater 

 magnet for the country people than a 

 circus. 



"With Admiral Swinburne's big ship 

 and a torpedo flotilla anchored in our 

 harbor, and the presence of Bob Fitz- 

 simmons, we were well protected and 

 perfect order prevailed. A good, big, 

 round sum had been subscribed and the 

 floats were gotten up elaborately. 



Society was generous, and we doubt 

 if any one line of business profited more 

 from the rose carnival than our own. It 

 was almost a clean-up for six days, and 

 at good prices. 



The only florist to take direct, active 

 interest in the outdoor festivities was 

 John Holden, who showed a splendid 

 piece of workmanship in one of the pa- 

 rades, which deservedly won first prize. 

 It was a miniature residence, with all 

 the details of landscaping worked out 

 perfectly. 



Among the visitors who made their 

 presence known during the week were 

 Miss Armstrong, of Spokane, and Mrs. 

 A. M. Barnett, of Centralia, Wash.; Mrs. 

 H. Jewell, The Dalles; Mrs. C. B. Blount 

 and daughter, of Albany, and Geo. Allen, 

 the nurseryman, of Lebanon, Ore. 



A hot wave struck the city June 7 

 and we now have flowers enough to sup- 

 ply a hundred fiestas. H. J. M. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



We are in the midst of the midsummer 

 dullness, and, from appearances, every- 

 one with any money to spend has left 

 the town for the seashore or the moun- 

 tains. Several of the retailers have 

 taken advantage of the reigning quiet- 

 ness and are renovating their stores and 

 putting things in shape for the fall 

 opening. 



Flowers are practically without price 

 and it is only where dealers have con- 

 tracted to use certain quantities of stock, 

 or where there are regular contracts 

 all the year around, that it is possible 

 to get a line on what goods are really 

 worth. Anyone who is at the mercy of 

 the supply and demand is poorly off at 

 this time, and still, in comparison with 

 last year's prices, we are only slightly 

 lower. The volume of goods handled, 

 however, is much less than a season 



The quality of stock is better now than

that generally seen during June. We 

 have had absolutely no warm weather 

 for over a month and an overcoat feels 

 very agreeable, both in the morning and 

 evening. This continued cool weather 

 has had the effect of moderating the 

 usual forced summer's growth, so that 

 better color and quality of flower and 

 stem have resulted. 



A few early asters are seen, but they 

 are of the short-stemmed sorts, and the

florists have not made much use of 

 them thus far. Sweet peas continue to 

 be the best selling article, both in the 

 stores and on the streets. They are 

 sold at ruinously low prices and ttie 

 public is thus being educated to expect 

 a very large bunch for a few cents.

 varieties are coming into market slowly.
