The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AUODBT 17, 1911. 



PACinC COAST. 



Loon Lake, Wash. — A greenhouse is 

 being erected for Dr. E. T. Hein, on his 

 irrigated tract southeast of town. 



Lawndale, Cal. — Speakman Bros, are 

 erecting a rose house, 27x335, on their 

 First street property. It is said to be 

 one of the largest single greenhouses in 

 the southwest. 



Garfield, Wash. — Scott Bros., of the 

 Boselawn Greenhouses, say that busi- 

 ness has been scarcely as Inrisk as usual 

 this summer, though crops have been 

 fairly good. The weather has been dry, 

 but not especially hot. 



Tacoma, Wash. — L. Ghilarducci, a 

 Pacific avenue florist, was recently 

 fined $10 and costs for obstructing the 

 alley in the rear of his establishment 

 with a large bay tree. He stated in 

 his defense that the tree was in the 

 alley only a short time, while awaiting 

 transportation to the rose show at the 

 Armory. He appealed the case. 



FOBTLAITD, OBE. 



The Market. 



August business opened up somewhat 

 quietly, falling slightly behind July, 

 which was up to expectations. There 

 is no overabundance of flowers. Asters 

 are about the choicest stock obtainable, 

 but gladioli are also coming in nicely. 

 Carnations, roses and sweet peas are 

 declining rapidly. Stocks, helianthus 

 and perennial phlox serve the purpose 

 as novelty flowers. Chrysanthemum 

 Golden Glow is coming in nicely, and 

 while they receive unlimited comments, 

 they are a little ahead of usefulness. 



Various Notes. 



Dan Cupid has depleted the office 

 force at Clarke Bros.' store. Karl Gard- 

 ner, the bookkeeper, and Miss Ethel 

 Campbell, the stenographer, decided to 

 spend their vacation and honeymoon 

 together at Long Beach, Wash. 



John J. Stuppy, of St. Joseph, Mo., 

 stopped over A few days to call on 

 friends in the trade. 



Herbert & Fleishauer, of McMinn- 

 ville, are shipping some choice asters. 

 A Crego sport in the white seems to be 

 of unusual merit. E. B. C. 



SAN FBANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



Business, although not as brisk as 

 one would like, shows a somewhat 

 brighter aspect, and with the return- 

 ing of most of the townspeople from 

 the rural districts prospects are much 

 better. The best quality flowers have 

 advanced somewhat in price and with 

 the continued cool weather stock gen- 

 erally is in good shape. Carnations in 

 many instances are rather short- 

 stemmed, but this condition will be 

 remedied in a short while. Asters are 

 now in their glory and while not pro- 

 duced in as large quantities as in for- 

 mer years, there are quite enough for 

 all purposes and some to spare. 



Outside flowers are moving slowly 

 and never have fhey been in larger or 

 better supply. Even the finest dahlias 

 and gladioli, that sold so well last sea-

son, are not bought up as well as they 

 deserve. Japanese lilies are at their 

 height at this time and can only be said 

 to be in fair demand. 



Funeral orders are not overplentiful, 

 and as there is such an abundance of 

 colored stock there is a glut of almost 

 everything. 



Various Notes. 



James Bell, for several years in the 

 gardening trade in Portland, Ore., is in
