PACIFIC COAST. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



With the coming of September, busi- 

 ness took on a new life and the future 

 looks bright. Several large decorations 

 have kept us pretty busjj. for the last 

 ten days and with other large jobs in 

 sight there is no reason for a lull until 

 the heavy season is over with. Asters 

 and sweet peas, with quantities of cac- 

 tus dahlias, seemed to be the leading 

 rtowers. Chrysanthemums put in an ap- 

 pearance early in the month and we 

 «an comment highly on the stock for so 

 t-arly in the season. 



Various Notes. 



One of the main events of the month 

 was the opening of the new store of the 

 Hollywood Gardens. This is one of the 

 most up-to-date stores in Seattle, and 

 William Gibson, the manager, is to be 

 t-ongratulated on its artistic appearance 

 as well as its usefulness. 



The Auburn Greenhouse Co. will be 

 ready for business again soon, as the 

 moving of their plant is practically 

 completed. 



The Kent Greenhouse Co. has taken 

 over the plant of the Seattle Carnation 

 Co., and intends to make some improve- 

 ments and add more stock. 



Mr. Burdett, of the Burdett Floral 

 Co., recently expressed his opinion that 

 ills nursery business this fall and in the 

 spring will be far better than in pre- 

 vious years. 



Lee "Walz, of the Walz Flower Shop, 

 lias had many attractive window dis- 

 plays during the last few weeks, made 

 tmtirely of his own cutting of Brunner 

 and Maman Cochet roses. 



Gus Bjorkman has been discharged 

 from his obligations as receiver for 

 Graff's Flower Shop and may take 

 charge of the Hollywood Gardens' 

 greenhouses. 



The first shipment of roses from Port- 

 land was received August 25, from the 

 .Sibson Kose Nurseries. From the qual- 

 ity displayed in the first shipment, the 

 crop undoubtedly will be largo and good 

 this fall. 



Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., and W. C. Johnson, representing 

 K. H. Hunt, called on tiie trade last 

 week. 



Mr. Chisholm, of the Decorative 

 Plant Co., leports that he holds high 

 expectations in regard to business this 

 fall. , T. B. P. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business is up to the standard of the 

 month of September, but that is not 

 saying much in its favor, and with the 

 exception of funeral work there is little 

 doing. We were treated to slight show- 

 ers of rain September 14 and 1.5, which 

 is something extraordinary for jthis cli- 

 mate. It was not a heavy downpour 

 and has done no damage as far as re- 

 ported, and it did lay the dust on the 

 city streets. Flowers are not over- 

 plentiful, but are in sufficient .quantity 

 to fill all re<|uirements. There is a slight 

 exception to this statement as regards 

 roses. Owing to the warm weather and
