The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBEK 13, 1010. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business conditions are slightly im- 

 proved over last week; yet there is a 

 scarcity of flowers, owing to the recent 

 rains. Asters are on their last legs and 

 soon will he entirely out of tiie market. 

 Mums of the standard varieties are 

 filling in nicely and bring tip-top prices. 

 Eoses are scarce, but of fine quality, 

 and indications are of a full crop soon. 



Carnations are coming along nicely, 

 improving in both qualit}' and forni. 

 On account of the increasing demajid 

 for carnations, more space is devoted to 

 them this season than ever before. Lily 

 of the valley is scarce and the demand 

 exceeds the supply. California grown 

 violets have made their appearance on 

 the streets, l)ut are devoid of fragrance 

 and the better class stores refuse to 

 handle them; local grown stock is still 

 scarce. 



Ferns and green goods are in great 

 demand — a source of considerable worry 

 to the florists, as the supply of Spren- 

 geri and plumosus is short. 



Various Notes. 



The funerals of several well known 

 residents last week practically used 

 every flower available in the city. 



P. Johnson has opened a small shop 

 at Fifth and Washington streets and 

 reports business satisfactory. 



Thomas Hawks, recently a landscape 

 architect at Chicago, has opened offices 

 here and reports a good business. 



Sam Roake, Clackamas, Ore., met 

 with a severe accident last week while 

 loading a car of moss. A box fell, 

 striking him across the face, inflicting 

 painful in.iuries. E. R. C. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business continues to show an upward 

 tendency and, .judging from general ap- 

 pearances, we are to have a prosperous 

 fall trade. With the possible exception 

 of outside chrysanthemums, there is no 

 excess of flowers of any kind and good 

 roses and fancy carnations are really 

 scarce. Of short-stemmed stock there is 

 an abundance at low prices, and much 

 of it has to be used where better qual- 

 ity stock is called for. There is good 

 sale for inside mums and the quality 

 throughout is fully up to that of former 

 years. Japanese lilies are now out of 

 season and there is nothing in that 

 line excej)t some Lilium longiflorum, 

 which are in fair demand. Dahlias are 

 commencing to show the lateness of the 

 season and gladioli are past their prime. 

 Other kinds of outside stock, such as 

 cosmos, gaillardias. coreopsis and stocks, 

 have given way to the outside mums. 



Violets are not as plentiful as we 

 should like to see them and will not be 

 so until we have some cool weather. 

 They cost the stores 75 cents per dozen 

 bunches. Green stuff" is a little more 

 plentiful. Adiantum shows the lateness 

 of the season. 



Various Wotes. 



Much interest is being shown in the 

 coming floral exhibition, to be given 

 under the auspices of the California
