The Weekly Florists' Review. 



December 7, 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



The Topieiiisli XiusiMy ('o., of Ynki 

 ma. Wash., has received an order from 

 Mih) Kiissell, manafier of the Okana^en 

 Fruit Ik Land Co.. at Kelowna, H. ('., for 

 .$8,000 worth of nursor.v stock, to l;e de 

 lixered next sprinj.';. 



It is" j'ej)orted that 1). \i. and ( '. S. 

 Shafer have purchased all of the interest 

 of (Js.-ar Ho<jin in tiie Sliafer-Hogin 

 Orchard & JS'ursery Co., at Denair, Cal., 

 arul \\ ill continue tiie Inisiness, with sales- 

 vards at Denair and Turlock. 



Los Angeles, Cal. — Si)eaknian Bros., 

 the owners of larj^e jrreenhouses near 

 Lawndale, have heen so successful that 

 they will erect another house, to cost 

 ■$7,.300. to i)e devoted exclusively to 

 American Beauty roses. 



White Bluflfs, Wash.— H. K. Harrison 

 says that liusiness is not as l)risk as he 

 might wish, on account of diJficulties 

 that must l)e encountered in most newly 

 irrif^ated rejrions. Mrs. Harrison was 

 recently in >'orth Yakima, where she 

 was lieinfi treated for a serious ear 

 trouble, with good hopes of a cure. 



VICTORIA, B. C. 



The Market. 



Trade is progressing favorably. Flow- 

 ers of all kinds are suttioient for the 

 demand, but there does not seem to be 

 anv surplus. Roses are showing the 

 effects of the dull days and long nights. 

 Carnations are more than usually plen- 

 tiful. Chrysanthemums are sufficient 

 for all demands and the range of qual- 

 ity and color is all that can be desired. 

 Nothing new in this line is apparent. 

 There are no violets grown locally, the 

 market relying wholly on the Cali- 

 fornian product. Plants, esi)ecially flow- 

 ering i)lants, seem to be scarce. There 

 are one or two nice lots around, but 

 they seem to be held back for the 

 holidays. 



As to the outlook for Christmas, roses 

 will be scarce. Carnations will be jden- 

 tiful, red excepted. Chrysanthemums 

 will be fine and in full supply. Taper 

 Whites will also be in full supply. The 

 valley will all be imported. In holly, 

 the iocally grown English, the finest 

 known, will be extremely scarce. It is 

 quoted at .lO to CI cents per jiound on 

 the trees; retail, .$1 per jjonnd. Little 

 of it, indeed, will be exported in bulk. 

 The usual run of plants will be enough 

 for the demand. 



The weather at present is good. A 

 severe cold spell, with heavy winds, 

 visited us at the same time as the rest 

 of the country suffered, but no damage 

 was done locally. 



Various Notes. 



The Fairview Esquimault Green- 

 houses, one of the largest commercial 

 plants here, changed hands last week. 

 Brown Bros., Ltd., of Vancouver, have 

 bought the whole establishment as a 

 running concern, taking over the store 

 as well as the greenhouses. S.t- is said 

 that the present store will only be kept 

 until a fine new location, already se- 

 cured by the new owners, is ready. We 

 are all glad to welcome Brown Bros, 

 among us. Mr. Bornhoft, the new man- 

 ager of the Fairview, is to be congratu- 

 lated on having such practical employ-
