The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Masch 24, 1010. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Eugene, Ore. — In addition to the two 

 greenhouses that H. A. Newton is build- 

 ing on South "Willamette street, he will 

 also build a violet house, making a total 

 of about 6,000 square feet of glass. 



Brighton, Wash. — G. W. Scott & Son 

 started business here as carnation grow- 

 ers in 1908. They have two and one- 

 half acres of ground and 8,200 square 

 feet of glass. 



Stockton, Cal. — The Flower Shop is 

 the name of a new store, opened in the 

 Idle Hour theater building, on North 

 Sutter street, by Mrs. Will Davis and 

 Mrs. J. A. Louttit. 



Portland, Ore. — Clarke Bros, have 

 purchased five acres of ground near Divi- 

 sion street, between East Forty-sixth and 

 East Forty-seventh streets, for $7,500. 

 The firm has had the ground under lease 

 for several years, and wil]*^ontinue to 

 use it for roses and other outdoor stock. 



Sumnee, Wash. — The Woodland Flo- 

 ral Co. has purchased ten acres of 

 ground about two miles east of this place 

 and will put a large part of it under cul- 

 tivation as soon as the weather will per- 

 mit. The new tract is about a mile north 

 of the present extensive gardens of the 

 company and seems to be especially adapt- 

 ed to the growing of dahlias and other 

 flowers of similar species. 



Menlo Park, Cal.— It is reported in. 

 the newspapers that Michael Payton 

 Lynch, who was formerly a florist here 

 and is heir to his father's $100,000 es- 

 tate, is being sought by the sheriff of San 

 Mateo county on suspicion of being impli- 

 cated in the mysterious theft of a trunk 

 from the Menlo station last January. 

 The stolen trunk contained Parisian 

 gowns to the value of $2,000, belonging 

 to a society woman. 



Spokane, Wash.— W. J. and Thos. W. 

 Burnette have purchased two and one- 

 half acres of land here and will conduct a 

 business as general florists and garden- 

 ers, under the firm name of Burnette 

 Bros. They have most of the material on 

 the ground for the erection of some 

 houses. W. J. Burnette formerly had 

 charge of the greenhouses of the Hoyt 

 Bros. Co., of this city. His brother was 

 a resident of Colorado City and spld his 

 property there before coming here. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Everyone is rejoicing over the rain 

 which fell for a few hours Sunday night, 

 March 13, and all are eagerly looking 

 for more, as there have been no showers 

 of any consequence since the middle of 

 January. While the rainfall was not 

 heavy, oply .22 of an inch, it meant much 

 to the growers of southern California. 

 The hay and grain crops have been es- 

 pecially affected by the drought. 



Flowers of all kinds are exceedingly 

 plentiful and sell well. Lent does not 

 seem to make any noticeable difference 

 here in the call for flowers. Weddings, 

 receptions, luncheons and dinners go on 

 just the same, and funerals are always 

 with us. For the opening of a clothing 

 store, an elegant new establishment on 

 Broadway, an unusually large number of 

 designs and baskets were sent, some of

them being six feet in height. Most of 

 the florists had a share of the work. 



All of the seed stores are doing a 

 rushing business with fruit trees and 

 other nursery stock, as well as seeds. 

 Fruit trees bring about the same prices 

 as in the east. 



Beautiful beds of ruflSed giant 

 petunias, spring anemones, hyacinths, 

 etc., are seen in some of the home 

 grounds in Hollywood. A few tulips are 

 seen in the stores, but the stems are 

 rather short. We do not get them in 

 bloom as early as in the east. 



Various Notes. 



It is Charles Morton, not Frank Mor- 

 ton, who has opened a flower store on 

 West Third street. His business is going 

 along with a rush. 



At the Angelus many boxes of flowers 

 were being sent out. 



J. W. Wolfskin was showing some fine, 

 long Beauties. 



Wright's window was especially at- 

 tractive with shamrocks, valley, white 

 lilac, Easter lilies and orchids. 



M. Goldenson's window was filled 

 with single yellow daffodils, freesias and 

 sweet peas. 



Mr. Reymond, of the Eoserie, says 

 their trade has increased greatly since 

 moving on to Broadway. 



R. W. Saakes, the Main street florist, 

 has been doing some elaborate decora- 

 tions of late.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather continues to be the best 

 ever seen here in the month of March. 

 Warm, bright days and light showers 

 during the night give an ideal condition, 

 both for growing and selling. Within a 

 few days Easter will be upon us and al- 

 ready the growers and retailers who cater 

 to out-of-town orders are busy. In San 

 Francisco and vicinity during the Lenten 

 season business remained quiet, with the 

 exception of funeral orders, and these 

 kept the store men hustling. 



Flowers of all kinds are cheap and 

 plentiful. Easter lilies have been in 

 larger supply for the last few weeks than 

 the occasion called for, and it is evident 

 now that They will be in oversupply for
