The Weekly Florists' Review.

are certainly filling in nicely. Some of 

 them, especially in white and purple, are 

 exceptionally fine, many of them being 

 as large as mums, with fine, long, stiff 

 stems. 



Several varieties of gladioli are now 

 on hand, and of course the lighter colors 

 help out quite considerably in the ab- 

 sence of carnations and roses. However, 

 all so far shown are soft, lasting only a 

 (Jay or so. Consequently they are not 

 very profitable this season, even when 

 bought in small quantities, as medium 

 stock of this kind brings as high as 50 

 cents a dozen. 



Gypsophila, which has been a stajidby 

 in the way of green, is now scarce. So 

 once more the "green" bill increases. 

 Quantities of Golden Glow can be had 

 for the asking, and while it is not a 

 large seller, it is useful in filling up and 

 (lecorating the stores and windows, and 

 uo one regrets its presence, especially 

 since the shortage in stock of all kinds 

 except asters and cactus dahlias. Speak- 

 ing of the dahlias, they, being the ex- 

 position flowers, were quite in demand 

 all last week, as many of them were used 

 on the grounds during the last few days. 



Variou* Notes. 



The new Majestic theater held its 

 official opening last week. Masses of 

 fancy arrangements banked the stage 

 and lobby. Conspicuous among the fancy 

 baskets were several large arrangements 

 by Graflf's Flower Shop, which attracted 

 •quite a bit of attention. 



The Kainer Floral Co. is making ex- 

 tensive improvements and no doubt will 

 be in fine condition to handle fall trade. 

 One of the railroads has laid tracks up 

 into their place and Mr. Jochimsen is 

 well pleased. 



Otto Uhlmann is cutting some splen- 

 <iid asters in purple and white at his 

 Brighton Beach place. 



Mrs. Darby, one of the chief violet 

 growers of California, was in town the 

 greater part of the week. She was de- 

 lighted with Seattle and its prospects and 

 expects to ship most of her stock here 

 this fall. She returned by way of Ta- 

 coma and Portland. 



W. C. Johnson, of E. H. Hunt's, Chi- 

 cago, also called upon the trade last 

 week. 



Rosia Bros., formerly of Tacoma, re- 

 port a good business in their new store. 

 They have purchased a wagon for de- 

 livery purposes. 



Mrs. McCoy is quite enthused over the 

 prospect of her new store on Third ave- 

 nue, which they expect to open sometime 

 in the fall. This will no doubt be a good 

 move, for they are rather cramped in 

 their present store. 



Mr. Pritchard, manager of Graff's 

 Flower Shop, returned September 6, after 

 an exciting trip to the Olympic moun- 

 tains. He started out after bears, but 

 as he came back whole, we dou't know 

 what he did. I. G. C. 



THE CREGO ASTER IN OREGON. 



We note from recent numbers of the 

 Review that asters are unusually poor 

 all over the country this season. While 

 this condition obtains generally here in 

 Oregon also, we would call attention to 

 one notable exception — the Crego aster — 

 which we have been growing in consider- 

 able quantities for the Portland market, 

 both last year and this. We find them 

 better than ever. The stems are long, 

 flowers large and finely developed, many 

 of the blossoms exceeding five inches in 

 diameter, utd the average is more than

 handle.
