The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRUARY 22, 1900. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Trade this week has been very good 

 and St. Valentine's day the best since 

 Christmas. Many florists put in a large 

 stock of cut flowers and sold out clean. 

 American Beauties are very scarce and 

 very poor in quality; however, the re- 

 tailers are glad to get anything in the 

 name of Beauties. Brunners are also 

 very scarce and short stemmed. Vio- 

 lets are fair in quality and plentiful. 

 Fruit blossoms are in good demand for 

 decorations. 



Prices. 



American Beauties, $3 to $5; Brides 

 and Maids, 50 cents to $1.25; Sie- 

 brechts, 50 cents to $1; Meteors, 35 

 cents to $1.25; Brunners, 12 Va to 15 

 cents per dozen; carnations, Hobarts 

 $1. Crocker and Schwerins 50 cents, 

 fancy mixed 35 to 50 cents, Scotts 25 

 cents, Portias 20 cents per dozen; Har- 

 risii, J2.50 to $3.50; freesias. 3 dozen 

 for 50 cents; paper whites, 75 cents per 

 100; Dutch hyacinths, 50 cents per doz- 

 en; dafTodils, $1.25 per 100; violets. 

 Princess of Wales 50 cents to $1, Cali- 

 fornia 40 to 50 cents per dozen bunches. 



Notes. 



The fakir's license has been increas- 

 ed from $10 per quarter to $20, which 

 makes it double, and will no doubt 

 help to thin out the ranks of the above 

 gentry. Our florists ought to be thank- 

 ful to Mr. Shannahan for his efforts in 

 having the petition passed successfully, 

 as the bulk of the work was placed on 

 his shoulders. 



Golden Gate Park is looking very 

 fine at present. Our early rains have 

 been a great benefit to the park and a 

 walk or drive at any time these morn- 

 ings is a pleasure. A few beds of 

 Dutch hyacinths and daffodils are in 

 full bloom, and in some sheltered 

 nooks groups of hydrangeas are a mass 

 of bloom. 



George M. Miller will accept a posi- 

 tion in the Golden Gate park. Mr. 

 Miller is now disposing of his nursery 

 stock and will retire from the business 

 after fifty years as a commercial flor- 

 ist. Rheumatism and deafness have 

 troubled him lately. Although Mr. 

 Miller is very deaf, 'tis claimed he can 

 hear as good as anybody when some 

 one says, "Miller, have a" drink." 



Fruit trees have been in great de- 

 mand this year. Orders coming in from 

 all over the state. Many large orchards 

 of prunes are being planted, and prune 

 stock is getting to be very scarce; also 

 apples; some varieties cannot be had 

 at all. 



At Fernwood, Dutch hyacinths are 

 in full bloom, and many fine spikes of 

 named varieties are simply grand. The 

 orchids, phalaenopsis. laelias and cat- 

 tleyas are still a show in themselves.
