The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Aii<ii;8T 24, 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business remains quiet and season- 

 able conditions prevail everywhere. 

 There is no surplus of choice stock, 

 but asters are more plentiful in a 

 greater variety of colors, and are the 

 best selling article on the market. 

 Mums are showing better quality and 

 supply the much needed variety of 

 stock. Cosmos, tritonia and helianthus 

 serve the purpose for window arrange- 

 ments, but bring little monetary return. 

 Carnation planting in the houses is 

 about completed. Most of the florists 

 are increasing their stock, as well as 

 adding glass. The first shipments of 

 lily bulbs from Japan have arrived. 



Various Notes. 



Miss T. M. Hudson, of Pasadena. 

 Cal., is taking advantage of the dull 

 season to visit the northwest, combin- 

 ing business and pleasure. 



E. R. Chappell leaves this week for 

 several weeks' recreation of simple 

 life. E. R. C. 



TAOOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



Gloomy weather in this vicinity has 

 caused florists' crops to come on slowly 

 and now we find that stock, especially in 

 carnations, is exceedingly scarce, with 

 only outdoor flowers to depend on. 

 Asters are coming in and are of excel- 

 lent grade, while roses are getting 

 short-stemmed. Business has shown a 

 marked change for the better during 

 the last two weeks. Most of the peo- 

 ple are returning from their summer 

 homes and we can now expect an in- 

 creased demand for all kinds of stock. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its first an- 

 nual picnic at Burton, August 10. 

 About seventy took the launch from the 

 Old Town dock and, after the run to 

 Burton, landed at the picnic grounds, 

 above the citj', where the day was 

 spent in all kinds of games and sports. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting August .S. (Charles Halkier 

 was appointed captain of the bowling 

 team and we are now ready to meet 

 any florists' team desiring a match. 



J. L. S. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Another week of cold weather, and 

 if things do not change soon we shall 

 almost forget Avhat the sun looks like. 

 These conditions, however, are con- 

 ducive to plenty of good stock and no 

 one can remember seeing anything like 

 what we have had to select from this 

 year. Asters are now at their best and 

 mums are beginning to show them- 

 selves, though those seen thus far have 

 been greenhouse grown. The people 

 are most delightfully fickle this year 

 and do not seem to take as kindly as 

 they did last season to dahlias, gladioli, 

 Japanese lilies and the other summer 

 flowers, but are pinning their faith to 

 roses, valley, carnations and orchids.

As a consequence, much of the cheaper 

 blossoms only find their proper rec- 

 ognition from the street hucksters. 

 Asters are moving rather easily and 

 the prices, though they are away down, 

 do not seem to have reached the depths 

 that they did one year ago. Violets 

 are in small supply and also in small 

 demand. Other kinds of outside stock 

 are not creating any new prices that 

 are fit to print. Business, except the 

 funeral portion, is at a low ebb, but 

 with the influx of the rusticating 

 townspeople there should be a grand 

 change in a short time. 



Various Notes. 



The Sunday afternoon closing move- 

 ment, organized August 13, bids fair 

 to be a permanent feature in this town 

 and was observed by all the stores. 



The display of tuberous rooted be- 

 gonias at Golden Gate park is one of 

 the finest ever seen there. It attracts 

 a great deal of attention from the visit- 

 ing public.
