The Weekly Florists' Review* 



August 25, 1910. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Oakland, Cal. — G. C. Farley will erect 

 a large, fernery on the residence prop- 

 erty which he recently purchased on 

 Rock Eidge boulevard. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. _ 



The weather has turned even colder 

 than when last reported, and we have 

 hardly seen the sun for tWo weeks. 

 Whether this is against the best inter- 

 ests of the trade or not, is hard to say, 

 but it is favorable to the handling of 

 tiowers of all kinds. Never at this 

 season of the year have the blossoms 

 of all kinds been in such profusion and 

 of such good quality. The new crop of 

 Garnot roses shows better color and 

 substance and less thrips than is often 

 seen in August. For all of this we can 

 thank the excess of cool, cloudy 

 weather with which we have been 

 blessed for the last month. 



The prices of all kinds of stock show 

 an upward tendency, and, with the ex- 

 ception of asters and a few kinds of 

 outside stock, everything is quickly 

 bought up. Amaryllis has come into 

 town in large bunches, but does not 

 find ready sale. Lilium rubium and 

 album are in full crop at present and 

 move well. They cost the stores from 

 $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. Valley is 

 fairly plentiful again and sells for the 

 usual price. Mums are on the way, but 

 not yet in full supply. The stock of 

 this flower looks well and the chances 

 are good for an abundant crop. 



Although business is not brisk, it is 

 much better than it has been at any 

 time this summer, and the indications 

 point to its continued improvement. 



Various Notes. 



T. J. Thompson, son of the well- 

 known florist of Santa Cruz, Cal., is in
