1 he Weekly Florists Review* 



February 28, 1901. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 

 Business has been fairly good lately, 

 but the weather has been rather stormy 

 and frosty, causing a great scarcity of 

 outside flowers of all kinds. As a con- 

 sequence inside stuff is having a little 

 harvest all to itself and prices are very 

 good for this time of the year. I might 

 add that a half dozen new stores have 

 started up lately and they to a great 

 extent have helped to cause a shortage 

 in the supply of wholesale stock. 



The quality of roses is fair; in car- 

 nations, a good percentage of the blooms 

 are split in the calyx. Maidenhair fern 

 is very scarce and hard to get at any 

 price. AciK i;\ aihl l]iiil blossoms of vari- 

 ous kinds ;iic ill 111,1 ikrt and sell well. 

 Prices: Amriiiiii I'.i iiit es, 50 cents to 

 $4; Bride- aiiil I'.i iil. -maids, 50 to 7.5 

 cents; Meteors, 50 cents to $1; Cecil 

 Brunners, 12* cents per dozen. Carna- 

 tions — Hobart, $1; Crocker, 75 cents; 

 Bradt, 50 cents; Hill, 35 to 50 cents; 

 Scott, 25 cents; mixed fancies, 35 to 50 

 cents; Portia, 25 cents per doz. Violets 

 — Princess of Wales, 50 cents to $1.25; 

 Californias, 50 to 75 cents; Marie Louise, 

 75 cents to $1 per dozen. Dafl'odils, single, 

 15 to 20 cenls; double, 10 to 15 cents per 

 dozen; paper whites, 50 to 75 cents per 

 100; Roman hyacinths, 20 to 25 cents; 

 freesias, 15 to 20 cents; valley, 35 to 50 

 cents; Harrisii, $3.50 to $4 per dozen.

 Various Notes. 



V. Matraia has opened up a new store 

 at 118 Powell street. 



Pouyal of Po.k street will move short- 

 ly one block south of his present loca- 

 tion. 



Stevenson made a handsome crown 

 containing 100 dozen single daffodils, 

 which was used at the memorial services 

 held in San Francisco recently on the 

 occasion of the death of Queen Victoria. 



Ben Black, lately in the employ of E. 

 Laccazzette, Fourteenth street, Oakland, 

 has opened a floral establishment right 

 alongside of his former employer. It is 

 needless to say that "they never speak 

 as they pass by." Mr. Black's address 

 is 420 Fourteenth street. 



Mr. E. Gill has just finished one new 

 propagating house, 20x45, and is making 

 plans to build a carnation house 25x 

 150. Mr. Gill reports that a Portu- 

 guese gentleman came into his store one 

 day last week and ordered a floral piece 

 to be lettered thus: "Josephine Silva, 5 

 years old, died of diphtheria." The gen- 

 tleman from Portugal took Mr. Gill's 

 advice and dropped out the word "diph- 

 theria." 



Mrs. J. McCarthy has opened a store 

 at the Narrow Gauge depot. Fourteenth 

 street, Oakland, and will do a catering 

 and florist business. 



D'Artagon & Baretta, lately of the 

 "Bon Marche," Salter street, San Fran- 

 cisco, have opened up a new store un- 

 der the title of "The American Florists," 

 .1004 Washington street, Oakland. They 

 are earry'ng a fine stock and are in a 

 good location. 



Mr. J. Gilniore, Elmhurst, is building 

 three new houses, 16x300, for roses and 

 carnations. J. N. 



Good employes are hard to find and 

 not easy to grow. Encourage some one of 

 yours by making him or her a present 

 for Christmas of our $5.00 copy of "The 

 Florists' Manual."
