The Florists' Review 



6S 



Cisco for several days, has returned to 

 his home in Los Angeles. 



The California Association of Nur- 

 serymen closed a most successful con- 

 vention in Oakland, November 12. 

 About 100 of the principal growers on 

 the coast were in attendance for three 

 days and items of considerable interest 

 to the trade were discussed. The next 

 convention will be held in Fresno. Ees- 

 olutions were adopted recommending 

 better legislation, especially in regard 

 to the inspection law. A vote of thank's 

 was given to the Chamber of Com- 

 merce of Oakland, Mayor Mott and 

 the individuals who had entertained the 

 delegates, and especially to Lester 

 Morse, who gave an elaborate banquet 

 to the members on the evening of No- 

 vember 11. G.

The Market. 



Business has 1 r( u about the average 

 during the last week. "With inclement 

 weather, the transient trade is hardly 

 so good as usual at this season, but 

 several good wedding decorations have 

 helped considerably, and funeral work 

 has been rather above the normal. Ex- 

 tra fine chrysanthemums are now being 

 offered and the local product is with- 

 out competition at present. The large 

 blooms are selling well and there is an 

 unabated demand for the single and 

 pompon varieties. The prices of large 

 flowers are hardly so good as they used 

 to be, on account of the influx of the 

 California stock early in the season. 

 Carnations are plentiful, with the de- 

 mand none too good, and there has been 

 talk of cutting prices, but the small 

 surplus at present should be overcome 

 with increasing trade toward the holi- 

 days. Cattleyas continue in good sup- 

 ply and violets are, like the poor, al- 

 ways with us. The sale of ferns, palms 

 and flowering plants is good. Cycla- 

 mens and primulas are bringing good 

 prices. 



Various Notes. 



The Hollywood Gardens held their 

 annual chrysanthemum show, at their 

 premises on Second avenue, at the end 

 of last week. 



A number of local florists went to 

 Portland, Ore., to attend the fall 

 show. 



— ^Aniie-4«^ meeting of the Florists' 

 Club the quelrt^on of getting some re- 

 striction on the street hawkers came 

 up and it was decided to see what could 

 be done in the matter. A committee 

 was appointed to make necessary ar- 

 rangements for the club ball, to be held 

 about December 10. After the business 

 was disposed of, the members ad- 

 journed to the bowling alleys and a 

 pleasant game between retailers and 

 growers resulted in favor of the former. 



Mr. and Mrs. Felix Rosaia returned 

 last week from a protracted visit to 

 California. He says that "the flower 

 business down there hasn 't got any 

 points over ours." 



At the greenhouses of Andrew Mat- 

 thiesen and Eisdon k Son, at Brighton, 

 the roses are looking well and they are 

 cutting some nice blooms. 



J. 0. Hawkins, of the Seattle Pot- 

 tery Co., was a week-end visitor in Spo- 

 kane.
