The Weekly Florists^ Review*

PACIFIC COAST. 



SXrBSTITUTE FOB LATH HOUSE. 



In some parts of our town it is not 

 allowed to put up wooden structures, on 

 account of the danger of fire. This 

 keeps me from putting up a lath house 

 that I need for my plants. Do you 

 know of a structure, made of material 

 that is not combustible and at the 

 same time not too expensive, that 

 would answer the purpose of an ordi- 

 nary lath house f A reply from any 

 reader would greatly oblige. A. V. 



POBTLAND, OBE. 



With the coming of the fall season, 

 business has taken a decided change. 

 While there is a scarcity of flowers of 

 first quality, the call for funeral work 

 keeps the market depleted of short 

 stock. September has been an unusual 

 month for weddings, the demand for 

 white roses far exceeding the supply. 



Indications are that the new crop of 

 carnations and roses will soon be on. 

 Mums are coming in slowly; Monrovia 

 and October Frost are the prevailing 

 varieties. Decorative greens are a 

 scarcity. The demand for palms and 

 ferns has livened up considerably with 

 the advance of the season. People are 

 returning from the resorts. E. B. C. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



With cooler weather and almost con- 

 tinuous rains for the last two weeks, 

 business has taken a decided change for 

 the better. Outdoor stock, with the ex- 

 ception of gladioli and a few late 

 asters, is gone, and now we find our- 

 selves again facing a shortage of good 

 cut flowers. Carnations are coming on 

 slowly and it will be some time before 

 the supply will equal the demand. 

 Boses are coming in and now we see 

 some of the better grade of mums of 

 the early varieties, such as October 

 Frost, Monrovia, etc. 



Various Notes. 



The Tacoma Dahlia Society gave its 

 first dahlia show on Saturday and Sun- 

 day, September 16 and 17. There were 

 many fine collections, one of which 

 comprised over 300 varieties. This 

 climate seems to be well adapted to the 

 cultivation of this beautiful flower. 



The stock of the Northwestern Floral 

 Co. was sold last week to J. B. Pilking- 

 ton, of Portland, Ore. Mr. Pilkington 

 intends to carry on a general flower 

 and nursery business. Ed - Goldsack 

 now has charge of the business. 



A. Seamons, of Van Slyke & Sea- 

 mons, spent part of last week at Cen- 

 tralia and Chehalis, calling on the trade 

 there. He reports everything in that 

 district in fine condition. J. L. S.

SAN FBANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather is still quite warm and 

 the nights are long and cool. This is 

 the best condition possible for produc- 

 ing good stock, and never has there 

 been a better showing in September. 

 The asters are well on the wane and 

 mums have almost taken their place.

There is only a limited quantity of out- 

 side stock thus far, but of greenhouse 

 flowers we have a good showing. The 

 prices range a shade less than they did 

 one year ago, as did also the asters all 

 through the season. Carnations are not 

 yet in full crop and the stems on some 

 of them are not as long as we should 

 like to see, but all this will be righted 

 in a few weeks. Boses of the shorter 

 lengths are plentiful enough, but fancy 

 stock is scarce and will be for some 

 time to come. Valley is abundant and 

 does not move extra well. Japanese 

 lilies are getting poor in quality and 

 are about over for the year. Other 

 lines of stock are about as usual. Busi-
