The Market. 



Business is showing a gradual increase 

 along general lines. What is needed is 

 a killing frost to do away with the out- 

 door stock and create a demand. Stock 

 is becoming more plentiful. Roses are 

 almost in surplus. Carnations are be- 

 coming plentiful and are improving in 

 quality. Mums are coming in nicely, 

 Smith's Advance being the prevailing 

 white. Valley and orchids are unusually 

 scarce. The demand is heavy. October 

 weddings are beginning to loom up, 

 with a heavy call for decorative material. 



Various Notes. 



M. Beukauf is in town. 



S. Inuzuka, of the Nippon Floral Co., 

 died from the effects of an operation 

 for appendicitis. 



James Wilkinson, who has opened a 

 flower store at Oregon City, reports busi- 

 ness satisfactory. 



• J. B. Feustman, with the Pine Tree 

 Silk Mills, is calling on the local trade. 



A. J. Rossi and D. MacRorie, of San 

 Francisco, spent a few days in the city 

 en route home from an eight weeks' 

 trip through the east. 



Shipments of bulbs from the orient 

 are arriving in due season. 



Byron & Jensen are contributing some 

 nice double violets to the local market.

The Market. 



The weather has been warm for Oc- 

 tober and stock of all kinds is arfiti|>g 

 in good quantities. Mums are the tB<^ 

 noticeable flowers at present and al- 

 though they are not yet as plentiful 

 as they will be, there is a good crop now 

 on. Carnations are more in evidence 

 than they have been and the prices are 

 lower than a year ago. Roses are not 

 quite up to color at present, but this 

 can be charged to the unusually warm 

 weather for the last month, as its effect 

 on the young planted stock has not 

 been the best. Late blobming amaryllis 

 and gladioli are good and dahlias were 

 never better. Violets, although the 

 weather does not suit them, are be- 

 coming more plentiful daily. They do 

 not keep as well as could be expected 

 and nothing short of a rain will put 

 J:hem right. Valley and orchids are in 

 sufficient quantity to fill requirements 

 and other seasonable flowers are about 

 as usual. 



Various Notes. 



Preparations are being made by the 

 nurserymen of California for their an- 

 nual convention, which will be held at 

 the Oakland Chamber of Commerce No- 

 vember 7 and 8. The program is being 

 arranged and will be decorated with 

 an illustration of the Oakland Chamber 

 of Commerce building. Committees on 

 the following topics have been ap- 

 pointed: Legislation, transportation, 

 nomenclature, deciduous fruits, citrus 

 and tropical fruits, gardens, plants, 

 flowers, native vegetation, forestry and 

 exhibitions. Each of the topics will 



ARE YOU SATISFIED? 



Any florist on the Pacific coast not 

 satisfied to do a local retail business 

 can build up a prosperous wholesale 

 trade by using space in The Review to 

 let the buyers know where stock is to 

 be found. This way: 



We have found advertising in The 

 Eevlew to be very satisfactory. We 

 have had orders from all parts of the 

 United States, as well as from the Pa- 

 cific coast, showing that your valued 

 paper has a very wide circulation. At 

 any time we have any special advertis- 

 ing to do we certainly shall send it to

SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



While trade can hardly be said to be 

 first-class, there is a decided improve- 

 ment over recent conditions. The fine 

 weather has kept many flower buyers 

 out of the city, but presently they will 

 be flocking back and trade will soon 

 resume normal conditions. Outside 

 stock, except cosmos, is now about over 

 and this, too, helps to improve busi- 

 ness. Carnations are scarce, but most 

 of the other varieties of stock are in
