The Florists' Review 



71 



ciety on the evening of August 3, in 

 honor of H. Plath, Julius Eppstein, D. 

 MacBorie and A. J. Bossi, prior to their 

 departure to Chicago, to attend the con- 

 vention of the S. A. F. A most enjoya- 

 ble time was had by the large number 

 present. There were also splendid ex- 

 hibits of orchids, dahlias and other sea- 

 sonable flowers from several members. 

 The premium lists for the fall exhibi- 

 tion were also distributed. G.

The Market. 

 Business for the last week has been 

 about the same as previously reported; 

 summer conditions prevail everywhere. 

 It gives an opportunity to house-clean, 

 take inventory and make ready for the 

 coming season. Carnations are almost 

 out of the market, for the benches are 

 rapidly being filled with new stock. 

 Boses are showing up a little better. 

 New stock of Bride, Maid, Gate and 

 Beauty is in evidence, but there is no 

 rush for stock, as the business does not 

 demand it. Auratums, albums and ru- 

 brums are almost a glut. Asters are im- 

 proving rapidly after the rains of the 

 last few days. The demand for orchids 

 has been unusual; there is seldom an 

 oversupply. Boston ferns have been in 

 demand. Salable plants are scarce; 

 that is, they are being held for the fall 

 and winter demand. Golden Glow is 

 coming in nicely; it is used consider- 

 ably for the windows. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Dora Brown and H. F. Powell, 

 of Goshen, Ind., spent several days in 

 this city recently. 



M. Schuster devotes his entire space 

 to tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce. He 

 finds this more profitable than the 

 flower end of the business. E. B. C. 



SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



Though business in the flower stores 

 cannot be said to be good, there is a 

 slight improvement over recent condi- 

 tions. Trade is by no means brisk, but 

 there is some demand for good flowers. 

 The supply, in all but the most common 

 varieties, is not so plentiful as is usual 

 at this season. Good outside roses are 

 selling well, and carnations are bring- 

 ing more money, selling now at better 

 prices than often in the winter, though 

 the stock cannot be called first-class. 

 Gladioli are plentiful and are not realiz- 

 ing remunerative prices for the grow-
