The Weekly Florists* Review* 



AUQUST 3, 1011. 



PACinC COAST. 



Los Angeles, Cal. — Charles E. Morton, 

 of the Los Angeles Flower Market, 

 has returned home after a trip to the 

 south and east. He spent some time 

 in New York city and also visited his 

 brother at Fort McCoy, Fla. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The continued warm weather has a 

 tendency to keep business at a low ebb, 

 with an occasional day that exceeds 

 running expenses. 



All flowers show the ravages of the 

 season, but carnations are holding up 

 remarkably well. Sweet peas are a drug 

 on the market. Gladioli are coming in 

 nicely, but asters are slow to show 

 (juality. Rubrums, auratums and longi- 

 florums are plentiful. 



Bose Mrs. Aaron Ward is being tried 

 extensively for the coming season and 

 bids fair to be a good yellow for com- 

 mercial use. Killarney and Double Kil- 

 larney will be given a more thorough 

 trial, although they have not been a 

 success in this section previously. 



Various Notes. 



A. L. Aabling, of the Aabling Seed Co., 

 of Seattle, Wash., is in town. 



The seed houses on Front street are 

 practically deserted. Inventory is the 

 only thing that keeps them busy. 



The florists are busy securing their 

 coal and wood supplies while the prices 

 are right and the roads are good. 



Max M. Smith has returned from va- 

 cation at the beach and is ready for the 

 coming season.

The weather is even cooler than it 

 lias been and, from appearances, will 

 continue so. Business has shown no 

 improvement in the last few weeks 

 and everything is as quiet as it is 

 l)08sible to imagine it. Flowers of 

 nearly all kinds are overplentiful and 

 underpriced, and only a small portion of 

 the daily stock is used. Good roses are a 

 scarce article, however, and any really 

 fancy stock brings good prices. With 

 carnations it is quite the reverse; al- 

 though many of the growers are chang- 

 ing their houses at this time, there 

 is such an abundance of stock that it 

 is useless to pretend to give quotations. 

 Outside flowers are a perfect glut and 

 only a small number of the thousands 

 of bunches sent into town daily find 

 any sale. This will not continue long, 

 as the excess of flowers is now at its 

 height and the reaction will follow in 

 a short time. 



Various Notes. 



Miss L. WoUenburg, of New York, 

 is on a month 's visit to her old home 

 in Berkeley. She was formerly in the 

 decorating trade here and for several 

 years has been in the same line in the 

 east. 



W. W. Saunders, of Cloverdale, is in 

 toWn on a short visit. Mr. Saunders 

 'vigk^ formerly in the green goods busi- 

 ness, nere.

& Co., is visiting the local trade. lie 

 reports a highly successful trip this 

 season. 



The picnic of the Pacific Coast Hor- 

 ticultural Society, at San Anselmo, .luly 

 23, was the most successful outing ever 

 planned by the association. All the 

 florists' shops were closed and every- 

 one connected with the trade, to the 

 number of about 400, with their wives, 

 families and friends, attended. 



C. E. Lilley, of Santa Cruz, who has 

 been supplying the trade for many years 

 w^ith green goods, will enter extensive- 

 ly into the growing of bulbs for the 

 flowers for the retail florists. 



Most of the stores are short-handed 

 at present, on account of vacation time, 

 which is being taken advantage of 

 in quite a general manner. But still 

 there seems to be quite enough help 

 to handle all the trade that is offered 

 at this time. 



I. A. Nyquist, superintendent of the 

 East Lawn Nurseries, of Sacramento, 

 is in town. 



Frank Pelicano writes from Paris 

 that he is having a splendid trip and 

 will stay in Europe for about two 

 months, visiting the principal places of 

 interest on the continent. G.
