The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Decembek 23, 1909. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Sacramento, Cal. — J. W. Evans,- of 

 this city, has opened a branch store in 

 the Ellis block, Marysville, Cal., and 

 appearances seem to indicate that he will 

 have a flourishing trade at the new place. 

 While all the stock will at first be ship- 

 ped from this city, it is said that green- 

 houses will be erected near Marysville 

 as soon as Mr. Evans can secure a suit- 

 able tract of ground. 



SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



With a prosperous Thanksgiving to 

 look back upon, the craft have high ex- 

 pectations of a profitable Christmas rush 

 and are preparing accordingly. Good 

 stock, also, is more plentiful and no trou- 

 ble is expected from this source, as in 

 other years. Every season has added one 

 or two new growers, causing an increase 

 in the output of stock. This, together 

 with our improved connections with Cali- 

 fornia, makes our opportunities far bet- 

 ter. 



Potted plants, such as azaleas, poin- 

 settias and the bulbous stock, are none 

 too plentiful. However, the supply is 

 equal to the demand. Chrysanthemums 

 are gaining rapidly in quality and there 

 is a plentiful supply of such sorts as 

 BonnafFon and Timothy Eaton, as well 

 as the numerous smaller varieties. Thus, 

 with the elegant violets and orchids to 

 please the eye, there is plenty of choice. 

 Moreover, these have been backed during 

 the last week with quite a number of 

 Easter lilies and valley, besides narcissi 

 and poinsettias. Everybody has a large 

 stock to display. 



Christmas greens, of which many varie- 

 ties are to be had in this locality, made 

 their appearance early last week. In 

 fact, everything has taken on a Christ- 

 mas air. English holly, which is selling 

 steadily at $1 to $1.50 per pound, must 

 be spoken of specially, for it certainly 

 is fine stock and a ready seller. 



During the last ten days, funeral work 

 and a few small decorations, along with 

 a good transient trade, have moved the 

 surplus stock well. As a general rule, 

 only the best of everything is shown in 

 the stores. 



Various Note*. 



Mr. Lamley has returned from an ex- 

 tended eastern trip. Wm. Billingsley, also 

 of the McCoy firm, expects to have his 

 twenty acres of Yakima land in fruit 

 by spring. 



Rosaia Bros, sprung a surprise by 

 holding a chrysanthemum show last 

 week, with large crowds attending. 



W. G. Hopkins, formerly connected 

 with the Seattle Carnation Co., has be- 

 gun building a modern King Construc- 

 tion Co. house, 50x300 feet, with the in- 

 tention of adding more houses later. 

 This will probably be among the most 

 modern houses on the coast. 



Graff's FJower Shop has created a sen- 

 sation with several attractive novelties 

 for Christmas business. Mr. Graff was 

 among the Seattle fans on their recent 

 trip to the bowling matches at Tacoma. 



Albert Crause, of Sandahl & Son, re- 

 ports a brisk trade during the fall in 

 both nursery stock and flowers. 



Mr. Johnson, of the Fremont Floral 

 Co., has had great success since opening 

 his new place and has fine prospects of

SAN FRANOSCO. 



The Market 



We had a splendid change in the 

 weather last week, bright, sunshiny days 

 and cool nights, with a touch of frost 

 in the mornings, being the ideal we are 

 now experiencing. The present weather, 

 however, was preceded by several days 

 during which we had a few degrees of 

 frost, and some cold north winds. The 

 general effect, up to the present time, 

 has been to make outside flowers rather 

 scarce; in fact, everything, with the ex- 

 ception of violets. Paper White narcissi 

 and chrysanthemums, has disappeared 

 from the field. Of the latter flower 

 there are still fair quantities being 

 brought into town, of good quality. 

 The Chinese growers have raised the 

 prices fully 100 per cent in the last ten 

 days, and even under the most favorable
