The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBEB 14. 1909 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Los Angeles, Cal. — Alfred Eoedder 

 has an adiantum that originated at his 

 place several years ago that he sajs 

 j{T0W8 three feet high and sells for sev- 

 eral times as much as Croweanum. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market 



There was a visible improvement in 

 business last week, and with favorable 

 climatic conditions we have greater ex- 

 pectations. Choice stock is not overplen- 

 tif ul, but we have hopes with the increas- 

 ing mum supply. Monrovia and Queen 

 are to be had in limited quantities and 

 move at top prices. Arranged with au- 

 tumn foliage, some elegant effects are to 

 be had in sprays as well as window dis- 

 plays. Carnations are more plentiful, but 

 not in oversupply. Eoses are of better 

 quality, but limited in quantity, with the 

 usual daily clean-up. 



President Taft being within our gates 

 for a few days had a tendency to enliven 

 business and to make the florists join 

 him in that genial smile. The city 

 was artistically decorated throughout for 

 the occasion. Portland hotel was also 

 decorated with palms and flowers, where 

 the party was entertained and banqueted. 

 Martin & Forbes had the work. 



Varloia Notci. 



Meier & Frank's department store 

 opening gave an opportunity for the flo- 

 rists to reduce their surplus stock. Ele- 

 gant arrangements were to be seen on 

 every hand. Each florist had a share, but 

 one in particular was especially favored. 



Karl Gardner has returned to his for- 

 mer position as bookkeeper with Clarke 

 Bros., also as assistant in the salesroom. 



Martin Reukauf, of Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 has been calling on the trade with an 

 extensive line of samples. J. B. Teust- 

 mann, of the Pine Tree Silk Mills, also 

 was a caller. Louis Goodfriend, of 

 Wertheimer Bros., also was in town sell- 

 ing ribbon. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy, of Seattle, stopped 

 en route home from an enjoyable eastern 

 trip. 



William H. Cornwall, of San Francisco, 

 was a recent caller. 



D. L. Thomas, of Salem, has recently 

 taken over the range of Ben Taylor. He 

 vrill enlarge the growing capacity and 

 conduct a general retail business. 



R. Kiel finds it profitable to flower 

 cyclamen early; they fill the deficiency in 

 blooming plants. E. R. C. 



SANFRANOSGO. 



ThclIufcA 



The weather remains rather unsettled 

 at present, and the chances seem to be 

 for a continuance of light showers. 

 There has been but little sunshine the 

 last week, and, as a consequence, indoor 

 stock is not as plentiful as it usually is 

 at this time. The price of carnations re- 

 mains stationary, however. The best 

 fancy stock averages from $3 to $3.50 

 per hundred, while the cheaper varieties 

 cost the stores about one-half those 

 prices. Enchantress seems to be the 

 only sort that is at all plentiful, while 

 pure whites are a close second. 



"With roses there has been little change 

 in the last few days. Fancy stock cannot

be had at any price. Fairly good Beauties 

 cost the stores $1.50 to $2 per dozen. 

 Bride and Maid are in better form and 

 color, and are held by the wholesalers at 

 from 50 cents to 75 cents per dozen. 

 There is a fair supply of short-stemmed 

 stock, which is in good demand for fu- 

 neral designs. 



Although asters are practically over for 

 the season, a few late flowers are still 

 seen. The chrysanthemum crop is not yet 

 at its fullest, but the favorable weather 

 is making it more plentiful daily. These 

 can be bought at from $1 to $3 per hun- 

 dred. Indoor grown stock is not quite 

 equal to the demand, and the best blooms 

 bring from $1.50 to $2.50 per dozen. 



Gladioli are practically over for this 

 year, and, from reports from some of the 

 growers, the impression prevails that they 

 have proven to be one of the best paying 

 propositions handled for the San Fran- 

 cisco market this season. Such varieties 

 as America, Augusta and Brenchleyensis 

 have been in splendid demand at all 

 times, and the chances are that they will 

 be freely planted again for next season. 



Dahlias have not sold as well as they 

 should, judging by the quality and the 

 low prices they could be bought for. The 

 general public seems to have an idea that 

 dahlias are not just the proper flowers 

 for bouquets or house decorations. An- 

 other season, however, may find them the 

 proper thing. 



Asparagus and adiantum are plentiful
