The Florists^ Review 



Ocnrosli 3, 1912.' 



Dahlia Co. was first on best twelve cac- 

 tus dahlias and first on novelties. Gill 

 Bros, were first on single dahlias, second 

 on general display, second on novelties 

 and second on display. The Boutledge 

 Seed Co. was first on peony, decora- 

 tive and collarette varieties. Zimmer- 

 man Bros, were first on best display of 

 old-fashioned garden flowers. The suc- 

 cess of the show assures an annual dis- 

 play of larger proportions. Wm. Schau- 

 mann, A. J. Clarke and James Forbes 

 acted as judges. E. B. C. 



LOS ANOELES, CAL. 



Tbe Market. 



The increase in business since my 

 last notes has kept up and a lot of 

 stock of all kinds has been handled. 

 Many weddings and much funeral work 

 of the better class have kept the help 

 busy at the retail stores and all are 

 agreed that trade is f^r better than 

 at this time last year. 



Indoor roses are not too plentiful; 

 the quality is good for the season. The 

 outdoor roses continue to arrive in 

 quantity; Winnie Davis, La Detroit, 

 Maman Cochet and White Cochet are 

 among the best varieties. The whole- 

 sale houses do not seem to be over- 

 loaded with carnations, nor do the 

 retail stores, but cards in the doorway 

 florists' stands read "Carnations, 5 

 cents per dozen," so there must be 

 plenty somewhere. Cosmos and gladioli 

 make a fine show in the wiiidows and 

 both are good. Asters are gone, their 

 place being taken by chrysanthemums. 

 Local growers of the latter have had 

 considerable trouble with insects and 

 the flowers have not as yet been as 

 good as those shipped in from the 

 north. Monrovia is as popular as any 

 and can be depended upon more than 

 Golden Glow. Valley is about equal 

 to the demand. Orchids are scarce as 

 yet, though growers promise full de- 

 liveries shortly. Greens of all kinds 

 are plentiful and good. Violets are 

 improving, though it is still a little 

 hot for them. 



Various Notes. 



At the Diamond Hill Nurseries there 

 is a grand stock of Asparagus plu- 

 mosus in all sizes and the plants are 

 clean and healthy. Mr. Keffel also 

 grows large quantities of fruits, such 

 as the loquats, cherimoyas and guavas, 

 the stocks being large and of good 

 varieties. He is still undecided as to 

 his new location. 



John Gordon is back in harness again 

 at Morris Goldenson's and reports a 

 good time while away. 



W. Wolters has been exceedingly 

 busy at the Hill street store and had 

 to put on outside help during the time 

 the regular staff was on vacation. He 

 deserves all the success that is coming 

 to him, for no one has done more to 

 maintain a high standard in the busi- 

 ness. 



Violets are leaders with S. Murata 

 just now, immense quantities being 

 shipped daily. 



Funeral work has been exceptionally 

 heavy at the Hayward Floral Co.'s 

 place of late. H. Beeve Darling says 

 that more than twice the volume of 

 business done last year is the Septem- 

 ber total. 



Business is booming at the Los An- 

 geles Flower Market, heavy shipments 

 of northern grown chrysanthemums be-
