The Weekly Florists^ Review*

lead to better things in the line of 

 plant combinations for another Christ- 

 mas. 



The weather was ideal for the trade, 

 being cool and bright, and all the lead- 

 ing stores worked day and night from 

 Friday to Monday to keep pace with 

 the demands of their customers. E. 



SEATTLE. 



Club Meeting. 



There was a large turnout at the last 

 meeting of the Florists' Club, with the 

 growers, as usual, predominating. What 

 is the reason that the retailers do not 

 come in larger numbers to these bene- 

 ficial meetings? Three new members 

 were admitted. A preliminary schedule 

 of the chrysanthemum show for next 

 year was presented by the committee, 

 and passed. 



The club has decided to hold a rose 

 show in the coming summer and a com- 

 mittee was appointed to draw up a pjrize 

 list. Most of the premiums will be open 

 to amateurs. If properly conducted, 

 there is no reason why the show should 

 not be successful. In a community 

 such as this, the failure heretofore to 

 have anything of this sort does not re^ 

 fleet much credit on florists or others, 

 who ought to have the beautification of 

 this naturally picturesque city at heart. 

 Roses grow here with probably less 

 trouble and in more profusion than in 

 most other places and there should be 

 a great display at the club's exhibition. 



Various Notes. 



The bowling club was in session after 

 the florists' meeting. Jack Sahle proved 

 himself the champion for the evening. 



Henry Bornhoflf, of the Fairview Es- 

 quimau Greenhouses, Victoria, B. C, 

 was in the city for a few days, visiting 

 his old friends. 



Sandahl & Sons, Inc., had a large dec- 

 oration for an Elks' silver wedding last 

 week. 



Mr. Eisdon, Sr., has returned from Los 

 Angeles, finding it too hot in that city. 

 His many friends are glad to welcome 

 him home. 



Peter Saal has decided to take a vaca- 

 > tion trip to the old country. During 

 his absence his plant at Bellevue will be 

 managed by Mr. Petrie, his brother-in- 

 law. T. W. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



We have had some miserable weather 

 during the last few weeks. Cold, dry 

 north winds and frosty nights have 

 made a combination hard to beat in the 

 way of making stock scarce and cus- 

 tomers disinclined to brave the ele- 

 ments and do their Christmas shopping 

 early. At the time of this writing we 

 are within a few days of that memor- 

 able occasion and things are looking 

 brighter from all sides. That there is 

 no excess of stock goes without say- 

 ing, and prices have taken quite an 

 upward turn since the first part of the 

 week. There has been such an amount 

 of out-of-town shipping for the last ten 

 days that things begin to look a bit 

 serious for the low prices we have en- 

 joyed during the last month. 



Carnations and roses show the great- 

 est tendency toward scarceness. Vio- 

 lets up to this time have been plenti- 

 ful, but they also, owing to the un- 

 favorable weather, give great promise
