The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



61 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Florists on the Pacific coast will be 

 specially interested in the illustrations 

 from photographs showing the new store 

 at Seattle of the Hollywood Gardens. 

 These appear on page 8, as there is not 

 space under this heading. 



The Pacific Coast Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation may hold its next annual meet- 

 ing in Los Angeles, Cal., the convention 

 league having started a campaign to this 

 end. George C. Eoeding, of the Faneher 

 Creek Nurseries, Fresno, Cal., is presi- 

 dent of the association. 



SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



For the last week we have had rain 

 almost every day, which indicates that 

 the rainy season is at hand. The florists 

 look forward to this season with pleas- 

 ure, for the rain does away with all 

 the outside stock which grows in such 

 abundance here. 



There has been a scarcity of carna- 

 tions and roses for a week or so and 

 mums are not plentiful yet. A few 

 shipments of California violets have 

 been received, but the stock is too soft 

 to ship well. Some of the florists are 

 showing some home-grown violets, but 

 the supply is decidedly limited. 



Autumn foliage is taking the place 

 of flowers for decorating in a great 

 many of the shop windows. The foli- 

 age here is exceptionally fine. 



Various Notes. 



The Hollywood Gardens put their 

 new auto delivery car on the streets 

 October 6. It attracts attention every- 

 where it goes. 



The H. Harrington Co. is showing 

 some fine orchids and home-grown vio- 

 lets. The firm is cutting about twenty- 

 five cattleyas a day and expects to in- 

 crease the cut toward Christmas. 



Miss Burns, of the Woodland Seed & 

 Floral Co., reports that they are cutting 

 some fine mums. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy has been visiting 

 in Portland, Ore., for several weeks. 

 She reports that business is good down 

 there. 



J. A. Balmer, of Cle Elum, Wash., 

 spent a few days here in the last part 

 of September. He ordered materials for 

 some new houses which ne expects to 

 build soon. 



Frank Sault, of Indianapolis, Ind., 

 has been in the city several days. He 

 expects to locate at Tacoma. T. B. P. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAI.. 



The Market. 



Business continues fair, with sudden 

 spurts in the line of funeral work every 

 few days. We have had a shower or 

 two each day recently, which is quite 

 unusual for this climate at this time of 

 the year. There has been no damage 

 reported, however, and it has the ad- 

 vantage of laying the dust, freshening 

 outside stock in general and making 

 violets more plentiful and of better 

 color and substance than they have 

 been at any time this season. Boses 

 and carnations are daily getting more 

 plentiful and better stemmed, but the 

 pri<5e charged at wholesale remains

PHOENIX CANARIENSiS 



Onr Phoenix will gr row with their roots through 

 the sacking, because the soil in which they are 

 grown has the qualities for balling— these palms 

 are worth double the value and more of many 

 others offered from light soil.

about the same. There will be no ad- 

 vance in prices on any lines of stock 

 until we have colder weather. The 

 price of violets shows a slight decrease 

 and the same can be said of outside 

 mums. Valley is much more plentiful 

 and of better quality than stock grown 

 during the summer. Other kinds of 

 flowers are about as usual. 



Various Notes. 



The Piedmont Floral Co., of Oakland, 

 has retired from the retail flower busi- 

 ness, and closed its store on San Pablo 

 avenue. S. K. Love, one of the pro- 

 prietors, has accepted a situation with 

 the H. M. Sanborn Co., of Oakland, in 

 whose store he was formerly employed. 



J. A. Carbone, the well known orchid 

 grower of West Berkeley, has returned 

 from a several months' trip to the east- 

 ern states, which he took both for recre- 

 ation and business purposes. 



Frank Martin is on a visit to the 

 southern portion of the state and will 

 be absent from towQ about two weeks.
