The Florists^ Review 



October 31, 1912. 



This and the arrival of new stock from 

 Europe keeps everyone connected with 

 the business on the run. 



O. C. Saakes left October 21 for the 

 San Francisco show. Business at the 

 store is keeping up well. Some of the 

 finest Gladiolus America seen this sea- 

 son are now being shown in the win- 

 dows here; the spikes are large and the 

 color is elegant for so late in the year. 



A. I. Wing is changing the name of 

 his store at 201 West Fifth street from 

 Jack's Flower Shop to The Violet. 

 Business is good here.

The Market. 



The weather continues to be warmer 

 than is usual at this season. As a con- 

 sequence, flowers of all kinds are plen- 

 tiful. The nights are not yet cool, and 

 until they become so there will be 

 quantities of outside stock. Mums are 

 now at their best. Of the inside varie- 

 ties, the earlier sorts are over, but the 

 outside stock is in full bloom. Prices 

 seem to be a little lower than they were 

 a year ago, but with the advent of 

 colder weather these prices may be 

 changed somewhat. Inside roses are 

 plentiful, but not of fancy quality. 

 There is plenty of short-stemmed stock 

 and this can be purchased cheaply. 

 Carnations are good, but cheap. Vio- 

 lets are daily growing better. Orchids 

 and valley are somewhat more plenti- 

 ful. Japanese lilies are completely out 

 of the market. Business is rather quiet, 

 though the signs are for an early 

 improvement. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the houses of G. W. Sim- 

 mons, at Elmhurst, shows a splendid 

 stock of roses coming on in good shape 

 for the holiday trade. 



The Quality Floral Co., recently 

 started on Telegraph avenue, Oakland, 

 has closed its doors. 



Hayashi & Co., of Oakland, are show- 

 ing a magnificent house of cyclamens. 

 This firm is making a specialty of these 

 plants and their stock is probably the 

 finest ever shown here. 



Fred Werner, formerly of Los An- 

 geles, is in town on a short visit. He 

 will make a trip to Portland, Ore., and 

 the northwest in a few days. 



The fall exhibition of the San Fran- 

 cisco Floral Societies will be held in 

 the Fairmount hotel during the last of 

 the present week. From the number of 

 entries it is evident that it will even 

 surpass that of one year ago. G. 



LOOMIS AND VICINITY. 



Bassett's Floral Gardens, Loomis, 

 Cal., are installing a new boiler in prep- 

 aration for a busy cutting season. 



The Loomis Cftrnation Co. is just 

 starting the season for cuttings, after a 

 busy summer in field plants. 



We hear from Fallen Leaf Green- 

 houses, at Eoseville, that they have re- 

 cently finished a large well and here- 

 after will have their own water supply. 



El Durasno Flower Co., of Newcas- 

 tle, is alive and progressing. Not hav- 

 ing seen the proprietor lately, I take 

 it that he is busy preparing for the 

 coming season. 



Loomis and vicinity, as a whole, is 

 well adapted to carnation and fern cul- 

 ture and we do not feel like taking a '
