The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Septumbbs 1, lOlO.

PACIFIC COAST. 



COKVALLIS, ORE. 



Prof. A. L. Peck, who Las been as- 

 sistant professor of landscape garden- 

 ing and floriculture at the Oregon Agri- 

 cultural College, has resigned to go into 

 commercial work at Portland, and Prof. 

 C. 1. Lewis, who has charge of the 

 department, has an opening for a young 

 man qualified to carry on this work and 

 take charge of the range of greenhouses 

 recently erected. Prof. Peck will con- 

 tinue to give a part of his time to in- 

 struction work at the college, but the 

 assistant to be engaged will be called 

 ou to do some of the instruction in flori- 

 culture. 



Extensive changes in the campus are 

 in contemplation. The area now is 

 about fifty acres, although it is being 

 steadily enlarged. It is planned to 

 spend $20,000 in landscape work within 

 the next two years, along lines mapped 

 out by Olmsted, of Boston, who recently 

 looked over the ground. 



SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



With the much-needed rains and 

 cooler weather of last week, the out- 

 look for select stock is much better. 



Sweet peas are again to be had with 

 12-ineh to 15-inch stems. The second 

 crop of Brunner roses is on now. This 

 crop is always better than the first, as 

 till' flowers are larger and it is not 

 unusual to get quantities of them with 

 stems from three to five feet long. 

 Asters are making their appearance 

 now and are of good quality. Some 

 of the new varieties are to be had, but 

 not in great quantities. 



There has been some talk of starting 

 u commission house here. Such a ven- 

 ture would be profitable if in the right 

 hands, as there are several cities 

 around Seattle that depend on getting 

 a good part of their stock from here. 

 There is always plenty of stock the 

 year around, and the growers would be 

 only too glad to be relieved of the 

 "peddling" part of their business. 

 This proposition should appeal to some 

 thrifty, experienced commission man in 

 the east. 



With a slight increase in business, 

 all of the florists are beginning to get 

 ready for the fall trade, and this sea- 

 son will see Seattle florists on even 

 terms with their eastern brothers in tho 

 way of fine stores, equipment and up-to- 

 •late supplies and novelties. 



Various Notes. 



The Hollywood Gardens have an- 

 nounced the opening date of their new 

 store as September 1, in the new Haight 

 building, at the corner of Second ave- 

 nue and Pine street, which is in the 

 midst of the shopping district. 



Mr, and Mrs. G, W. Watson, for- 

 merly of this city, opened a flower 

 stand in the Public Market at Tacoma 

 about two months ago, and on a recent 

 visit here they stated that they ex- 

 pected to open a store in the near- 

 future, Mr, Watson has leased a range 

 of glass and twenty acres of cleared 

 ground about five miles south of Ta- 

 coma, which will be stocked imme- 

 diately to supply the demands of the 

 store.

The five acres of ground upon which 

 the plant of the Auburn Greenhouse 

 Co., at Auburn, Wash., is located, have 

 been sold to the Chicago & Milwaukee 

 Railroad Co. The railroad company is 

 now negotiating with C. H. Hopkins, 

 of the Auburn Greenhouse Co., for the' 

 purchase of the lease, and if a satis- 

 factory deal is made it will necessitate 

 the moving of the greenhouses in the 

 near future. 



George Antencn, of the Seattle Flo- 

 ral Co., is so pleased with the appear- 

 ance of the two houses he remodeled 

 recently that he is going to rebuild the 

 rest of his greenhouses and remodel 

 his steam heating plant.
