The Horists' Review 



OCTOBKB 24, 1812. 



<3upied a prominent position. Evi- 

 dently this rose is fulfilling the de- 

 scription sent out by the disseminators, 

 and we have at last a good yellow 

 forcing rose. 



E. Matraia has bought the interest 

 of A. Lorraine in the Paris Flower Store 

 and is now sole proprietor. 



Martin Beukauf, representing H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., was in town last 

 week. 



J. B. Feustmann was here, taking 

 •orders for the Pine Tree Silk Mills Co. 



M. Christensen, who has long been 

 associated with Cliff Watling in the 

 Butler Flower Store, has purchased the 

 latter 's rights in the business and will 

 ■continue as the Butler Florists. 



L. P. Walz, of this city, who was 

 weir known in the trade generally, and 

 especially on the pacific coast and in 

 the vicinity of Chicago, died here Octo- 

 ber 16. Further particulars will be 

 found in this week's obituary column.

The Market. 



Stock has not cleaned up quite so 

 well during the last week. As is 

 usual at this season, everyone who has 

 a back yard full of mums dumps them 

 in, and while the stock in many cases 

 is not worth much, it checks the sale 

 ■of better flowers. Bonnaffon still 

 leads, though there are numbers of 

 Appleton and other yellows, and by the 

 time these notes appear Golden Wed- 

 ding will be in full cut. In whites, 

 Silver Wedding and Eaton are good. 

 W. Duckham and the old Viviand- 

 Morel are the best in pinks. Northern 

 stock continues to arrive, San Fran- 

 cisco growers sending it in on commis- 

 sion. The express companies probably 

 get more profit than anyone else out 

 of the transactions. 



Carnations are still plentiful and 

 good in all varieties. Centaureas also 

 keep up well. Some late Shasta daisies, 

 now arriving, are elegant. The flow- 

 ■ers are large, prettily fringed and ex- 

 ■ceptionally fresh looking. Indoor roses 

 are fair in quality, with Badiance, 

 Prima Donna and Beauties as the best 

 offerings. There is only a fair demau'd 

 for valley and orchids, the continued 

 warm weather not being conducive to 

 a heavy demand. There have been 

 several good wedding orders, but the 

 mainstay of the trade has been funeral 

 work, which has been plentiful. The 

 ■demand for greens has been excellent. 



Starting October 16, the weather took 

 an unusually hot turn, and the soil, 

 which had been cooled down a little 

 by the early rains, is now as dry and 

 hot as before. The temperature for 

 several days has hovered around the 

 55-degree mark and the exceptional 

 warmth has continued well into the 

 ■evening, something unusual for this 

 vicinity, where the evenings are al- 

 most invariably cool. As I write, it 

 looks cloudy and there it> a good breeze 

 from the ocean. 



Various Notes."' 



O. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett, of 

 Pasadena, recently made a tour of 

 the Montebello places, .visiting, among 

 others, the fine establishments of 

 Howard & Smith and Dieterich & 

 Turner. The fine rose sections at the 

 latter place were a surprise to Mr. 

 Bassett, who hardly expected anything

SO up-to-date, and Mrs. Bassett was 

 also genuinely pleased with the fine 

 palms and other stock, describing it as 

 a beautiful place. Although so far 

 away, Mr. Bassett evidently takes a 

 lively interest in the doings of his 

 firm and the new plant being built 

 near Chicago. 



During his visit here last week, John 

 Morley, of San Diego, was loud in his 

 praise of the southern city and he 

 says he prefers it even to lovely Los 

 Angeles. He speaks feelingly, though, 

 of the rock he has to blast through 

 before he can plant anything. Tons 

 of dynamite have to be used, but I 

 didn't hear that he was thinking of 

 moving any of the sticks Dr. Houghton 

 mentions as being stored away in Grif- 

 fith park. Possibly they use a different 

 brand in San Diego. 



Nearly the end of October seems an 

 unusual time for amaryllis to be in 

 flower, but I noticed quite a number 

 of fine blooms at Howard & Smith's 

 Montebello grounds recently. The cac- 

 tus and other dahlias are still finely
