The Florists^ Review 



October 24, 1912. 



mums, as well as other popular kinds. 

 A good yellow, named Celonia, is ex- 

 ceedingly attractive here. 



The wagon of Polder & Groen was 

 pretty badly smashed by a collision 

 with a motor truck, October 16, but 

 fortunately no one was hurt.

POSTLAND, OBE. 



The Market. 



Business is holding up nicely; yet 

 there is almost a surplus of stock, as 

 the bright, pleasant weather is bring- 

 ing flowers out in profusion. Carnations 

 are plentiful, but are soft and prove to 

 be poor keepers. What we need is a good 

 frost to kill all outside stock and cre- 

 ate a demand. Roses are in good crop 

 and move well, especially in the ship- 

 ping trade. Mums are plentiful, the 

 retail prices varying from $1 to $5, 

 according to quality of stock. Valley 

 and orchids are scarce, with a brisk 

 demand. Cosmos is plentiful and of 

 unusual quality. 



Various Notes. 



A. Rahn had the misfortune to cut 

 his leg severely while cutting mums. 

 He is able to be about with the assist- 

 ance of a cane. 



Alder & Robinson, of Gladstone, have 

 dissolved partnership. Geo. C. Robin- 

 son will be the successor. 



William Barsch is sending in some 

 nice single violets. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting Monday evening, October 14. 

 Nothing special was accomplished, ex- 

 cept the formulation of plans for the 

 coming flower show. Amateur boxing 

 matches served as an amusement for 

 the evening. 



Carl Miller, foreman for Clarke Bros., 

 was absent several days from his haunts 

 last week. It was a case of wedding 

 bells for him. 



Frank Luepke, of Vancouver, Wash., 

 has been laid up for some time as a 

 result of ivy poisoning on his face.

SAN FRANCISCO, OAL. 



The Market. 



Business is rather quiet in compari- 

 son with that of several weeks back, 

 and it is the general opinion that a 

 good shower would enliven things con- 

 siderably. There has been a tendency 

 for stock of all kinds to move down- 

 ward for several days. This is owing 

 partially to the limited sale and also to 

 the favorable weather we are enjoying 

 at present. Mums are the most popular 

 flower at present. Inside stock is good 

 and can be handled at fair profit. The 

 outside flowers are fine and the growers 

 are selling them at low prices. Roses 

 and carnations are about up to the 

 average again and are quite a bit cheap- 

 er than they were one year ago. Vio- 

 lets are of fair quality and cheap. 

 Orchids and valley are more plentiful. 

 Lilies are over for the season. Other 

 kinds of outside stock are beginning to 

 show the effects of the cool nights and 

 will be more scarce from this time on. 



Various Notes. 



The Women's Clubs held a flower 

 show for products of San Mateo county, 

 at Redwood City, October 16 to 18.
