The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBIB 12, 1911. 



WESTEBLT, B. I. 



The Market. 



September marked its close by pass- 

 ing out about the best sample of 

 weather yet oflfered. It was one of 

 those rare days which rival the kind 

 that made June famous. Business has 

 been all that could be expected. Wed- 

 dings are the thing just at present; in 

 fact, October weddings are becoming as 

 popular as those of June. There is 

 plenty of stock on hand. Carnations are 

 running much better, also roses, and 

 there seems to be a demand for ferns. 

 Funeral work has created a good de- 

 mand fpr roses, carnations, etc. The 

 hydrangeas which outlived the frost 

 are growing pink as the days become 

 cooler. 



Various Notes. 



The marriage of Louis J. Renter and 

 Miss Alice M. Lewis was celebrated 

 October 2. Mr. Renter is one of the 

 members of the firm of S. J. Reuter & 

 Son, Inc. 



George L. Stillman, while strolling 

 about his dahlia farm, came across a 

 big turtle sunning itself on the banks 

 of a pond. He secured it and found 

 engraved on its shell the initials of 

 his grandfather, Adam Stillman, 1865, 

 and on further examination disclosed 

 the name of another Adam Stillman, 

 his great-grandfather, engraved 1808, 

 and the name of Paul Maxon, carved in 

 1792. 



S. J. Reuter and family have returned 

 to their home on Beach street, after 

 having spent the summer at Pleasant 

 View. 



Conrad Schultz has some fine houses 

 of carnations. 



G. L. Stillman has raised some excep- 

 tionally fine dahlias this season. He 

 received several prizes at the exhibi- 

 tions of the American Institute in New 

 York and of the New England Dahlia 

 Society, in Boston. S.

San Francisco, CaL — The shipping 

 trade in cut flowers is steadily increas- 

 ing as the number of florists grows. 

 George K. Uno, of the California Floral 

 Supply Co., says that the shipping 

 radius also is increasing, orders re- 

 cently having been received from as 

 far as Canada and Colorado. Chrysan- 

 themums are quite abundant in the 

 market at this season. Queen, Louis 

 Sievers, Golden Harvest, Bright Rose, 

 Canary and other outdoor chrysanthe- 

 mums are at their prime from early 

 October until cold wearier approaches. 

 Orders came from leading florists of 

 the western cities for decorations for 

 banquets which were given in honor of 

 President Taft, now coming to this city. 

 The orders were for the choice chrysan- 

 themums mostly.

 while not overplentiful, are produced in 

 sufficient quantity to supply all de-

 quality stock, are much more abundant 

 than they have been at any time this 

 season, and the carnations, although 

 not advancing rapidly, are brought into
