The Weekly Florists' Review. 



January 11, 1912. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



SANTA CRUZ, OAL. 



C. H. Mclsaac, of the Lilydale Gar- 

 dens, is this season raising a large 

 quantity of callas from seed. 



E. B. Morris has started in the calla 

 bulb industry. He has three acres 

 planted to bulbs and is preparing to 

 increase his plantings to a total of eight 

 acres. 



This section was favored with some 

 good rains during holiday week, but 

 the total for the season is still consid- 

 erably below normal. 



Florists Thomas Thompson and W. E. 

 King both report an excellent holiday 

 trade. Both sold out clean and could 

 have sold more had stock been avail- 

 able. There was a notable increase in 

 the call for plants.

PORTI*AND, ORB. 



The Market. 



Business is again back to normal. 

 Demand for stock New Year's day was 

 brisk, but nothing like the Christmas 

 trade. With the closing of the year's 

 business, everyone expresses satisfac- 

 tion with the results; the depressed 

 trade condition in other lines had little 

 effect on the flower business, the betet 

 evidence being the extensive building 

 that was done in the last year. 



Boses and carnations are about equal 

 to demand, while hyacinths, narcissi 

 and daffodils, the harbingers of spring, 

 lend variety to the stock. Cattleyas, 

 violets and valley are scarce, but Eas- 

 ter lilies and callas can be had in lim- 

 itied quantities. 



The continuous cloudy and snowy 

 weather is detrimental to the stock, 

 and impairs the keeping qualities, yet 

 there is a deficiency in rainfall of sev- 

 eral inches. 



Various Notes. 



Zimmerman Bros, have purchased a 

 tract of land near Tigard and will erect 

 a range of glass there this summer.

SEATTLE, WASH. 



Tlie Market. 



Business following Christmas and for 

 New Year's day was quite good, sev- 

 eral large decorations and some im- 

 portant funerals having helped consid- 

 erably. There has been a shortage of 

 carnations, the demand constantly be- 

 ing in excess of supply, but the brighter 

 weather of the last few days will have 

 a tendency to improve this important 

 crop in quantity and quality. 



The finish of the chrysanthemum sea- 

 son is in sight, few blooms now being 

 on sale. Violets have been the best 

 sellers this year, large quantities meet- 

 ing a brisk sale. Eoses and valley are 

 none too plentiful. Paper Whites and 

 Eomans so far are the only spring bulbs 

 offered. Some fine azaleas are now 

 on sale, and there is good business right 

 along in cyclamens, ferns, etc.

 several funeral designs to Alaska,

this fall. "With a carnivaT, two flower 

 shows and a fair scheduled for this 

 year, it looks as if 1912 would be a 

 busy one. 



The reason the Seattle bowlers waited 

 until after the holidays to meet Ta- 

 coma was to give Tacoma a chance to 

 practice. T. W. 



SAN FBANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



The weather has turned from light 

 showers, which we are yet much in 

 need of, to bright, sunshiny days and 

 sharp, frosty nights. These conditions 

 make stock of all kinds rather scarce, 

 and the higher prices which have pre- 

 vailed since the middle of last month 

 are bound to continue until we have 

 a moderation of temperature. Busi- 

 ness is hardly up to that of one year 

 ago. Although some of the retailers 

 report a heavy New Year trade, a ma- 

 jority are in favor of declaring that it 

 was not as good as was expected. From 

 all sides, however, the accounts of busi- 

 ness done Christmas week are highly 

 satisfactory and put a good finish on 

 the year 1911, which from many stand- 

 points could be called an "oS" year. 



The recent cold snap has made vio- 

 lets and outside narcissi scarce. These 

 represent about everything that is 

 grown outside at this time, although 

 there are still a few late blooming 

 mums to be seen. Grood roses are 

 scarce; in fact, there is no really fancy 

 stock to be had. "With carnations there 

 is more latitude and both stems and 

 blossoms are right. Valley and orchids 

 are as usual, and daffodils and freesias 

 help nicely in letting us know that 

 spring will be here shortly. Bomans 

 are plentiful and cheap. AH sorts of 

 green goods are in fair demand, but 

 adiantum and asparagus are showing 

 the effect of the heavy holiday cutting, 

 and the same can be said of smilax.
