The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Sgptembeb 15, 1010. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business is unusually active, being 

 far in advance of this date in former 

 years, with funeral work in the lead, 

 thus using up nearly all the short stock. 

 Carnations are almost out of the ques- 

 tion, but a few short flowers are com- 

 ing from the new stock and the plants 

 are j)rogre8sing nicely. Eoses are in 

 good supply and are unusually fine. 



Asters are abundant, of good quality 

 and often measure seven inches in 

 diameter. There are enough rubrums 

 for decorative purposes. Ferns and 

 green goods are in great demand. Chry- 

 santhemums are now more plentiful, but 

 are hard to move, as they are a little 

 ahead of their usefulness. 



The first consignments of bulbs have 

 arrived, with others expected soon. In- 

 dications point to an early fall. 



Various Notes. 



Herbert & Fleishauer, of MacMinn- 

 ville, Ore., are shipping choice asters to 

 this market, including the Crego va- 

 rieties. 



Henry Melde, of Eureka, Cal., re- 

 cently spent a few days in this city. 



Miss M. Armstrong, of Spokane, 

 Wash., was in the city looking over the 

 market and arranging for shipments for 

 the coming season. E. E. C. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, 



The Market. 



We are being treated to a spell of 

 cooler weather and business seems to 

 be on the increase in consequence. 

 Carnations are not yet in abundant 

 supply, but the retailers usually get 

 enough to fill orders. Boses are decid- 

 edly to the bad as far as quality is 

 concerned and buyers have to content 

 themselves with outside stock, such as 

 asters and mums, which, by the way, 

 are as good as we have ever seen. A 

 few early varieties from under glass 

 are shown, but the greater bulk of the 

 stock comes from out of doors. The 

 asters will not last much longer, but 

 they have done remarkably well this 

 season and are deserving of a rest. 



A visit to the mum growers shows 

 that th? stock is thrifty and promises 

 an abundant crop until the end of the 

 season. 



Valley is off crop with several of 

 the large growers and is in good de- 

 mand in consequence. The Japanese 

 lilies, owing to the large quantities 

 produced this season, have not sold as 

 well as formerly. The several weeks 

 of hot weather had the effect of bring- 

 ing them into blossom on short notice 

 and the market was soon overstocked. 



Gladioli and dahlias are not in great 

 demand, although the best flowers sell 

 fairly well. Green goods of all kinds 

 are about as usual. 



Various Notes. 



H. Kcnipf, of the Pacific Nursery, 

 reports a Ji«!avy autumn trade, with a 

 good quantity of orders dii liand for 

 winter delivery.
