John Gill, of the E. Gill Nursery Co., 

 of West Berkeley, is on a trip to 

 Seattle and vicinity. 



The annual fall flower show, given 

 under the auspices of the Pacific Coast

The Market. 



The supply of flowers this week has 

 been far in excess of demand, and trade 

 has been unusually quiet. Growers of 

 outdoor stock are cutting heavily, caus- 

 ing a glut along all lines. Carnations 

 are not in quite such good demand as 

 at last report, but the supply is not 

 heavy and will not be so for the next 

 six weeks. Koses are plentiful, but are 

 not selling fast, and gladioli are a 

 drug. Asters are plentiful, but so far 

 are of poor quality. The bugs are work- 

 ing their usual havoc, and spraying 

 sooms to have little effect on them. 



Most of the growers have got their 

 carnations benched. The young stock 

 has done well in the field and looks gen- 

 erally better than usual in the benches. 

 Sea-aral growers are holding over their 

 ola plants and waging continual war on 

 the spider. Speciosum lilies are arriv- 

 ing in fairly large numbers and are 

 selling better than most flowers. 



Club Meeting. 



The annual meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held in the Chamber of Com- 

 merce on Tuesday evening, August 13. 



Ofiicers for the ensuing season were 

 elected, as follows: President, Thomas 

 Wylie; vice-president, Felix Rosaia; sec- 

 retary and treasurer, A. B. Matthiesen; 

 executive committee, .Toseph Stuber, 

 Christ. Jochimson and L. P. Walz; re- 

 ception committee, J. J. Bonnell, John 

 Holze and Felix Bosaia. 



The project of giving a florists' ball 

 sometime in the winter was discussed 

 and practically decided on. One new 

 member was elected, and the club is 

 prospering. 



Various Notes. 



A. B. Matthiesen received a shipment 

 of roses for his greenhouses from Long 

 Island this week. His blessings on ex- 

 press companies and their charges have 

 since been loud and frequent. 



Frank Elliott and George Hotchkiss 

 made a trip to Cleveland last week, 

 where they purpose remaining for a 

 month or two. 



C. Hoffmeister and .John Holze have 

 just returned from Vancouver, where 

 Mr. Hoflfmeister acted as judge at the 

 flower show. They report a fairly good 

 show, mostly confined to the local trade. 



Pays 



To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists: 



What stock have you 

 for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should ? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co., 

 North Yakima, Wash., June 26, 1912. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by ftdyertislng in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused many 

 orders. The Beview sorely fives results.— Van 

 Blyke A Seamons, Tacoma. Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer 

 all or a considerable part of 

 the year around should write 

 for contract rates.
