The Weekly Florists' Review.

the Smith Floral Co. Mr. Smith is re- 

 modeling the whole store front and 

 will have an up-to-date retail place 

 when it is finished. The stock will be 

 furnished from the company's green- 

 houses in the south end. 



A party of local florists called on 

 S. Poolman, manager of the green- 

 houses of the Woodland Floral Co., at 

 Sumner, last Sunday. They all report 

 that they had a pleasant time and 

 found the stock in fine condition.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business is only fair, if one must be 

 truthful. The weather is too beautiful 

 for anything except a superabundance 

 of flowers, and when we have this con- 

 dition at this season, where there is 

 always more or less of an excess of 

 mums, the balance of the stock suffers. 

 The big Berkeley-Stanford game this 

 week, and preparations for the Thanks- 

 giving holiday almost immediately 

 afterwards, will stimulate trade, no 

 doubt, and put prices right. The mums 

 .iust spoken of are in elegant shape this 

 season and are as popular as ever, vio- 

 lets, owing to the cooler nights, are 

 coming into town with stiffer stems and 

 richer color daily. They move well. 

 Roses of the short-stemmed quality are 

 in too heavy suppl}' for the demand 

 and, although not so cheap as they have 

 been, move slowly. Outdoor flowers are 

 about as usual, except that sweet peas 

 are over and dahlias and late-flowering 

 amaryllis are near the end of their 

 season. Smilax is more plentiful and 

 adiantum somewhat scarcer. 



Various Notes. 



We are glad to report that McMil- 

 lan Brown is on the road to recovery 

 after a severe sickness. He expects to 

 leave the hospital in a few days. 



Geo. C. fioeding, of the Fancher 

 Creek Nurseries, X^esno, Cal., is in 

 town. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society was held 

 in Red Men's hall on the evening of 

 Xovember 4. About fifty members were 

 in attendance. • 



Chas. Bagnall, formerly with the Sie- 

 vers-Cornweli Co., and more recently 

 with Wright's Flower Shop, in Los 

 Angeles, is in town and will perma- 

 nently locate here. 



Mrs. C. F. Wells, of the Gem Nursery, 

 TiOs Gatos, is in town calling on the 

 local trade. 



The first of the Holland bulb sales- 

 men has arrived in San Francisco. P. 

 Krouwel, representing Specimen & 

 Sons, of Sassenheim, is the party. 



From advices from nurserymen in 

 <'entral and southern California it seems 

 the trade is much more backward this 

 season than it should be and the feel- 

 ing is general that nothing short of a 

 heavy rain will stimulate the plant de- 

 partment to a healthy showing. G.
