The Weekly Florists' Review, 



Fbbbcabt 27, 1902. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



Various Items. 



The heavy rains of the past two 

 weeks have not helped the demand for 

 cut flowers veiy much; however, we can 

 stand it. Since the holidays business 

 has been very good indeed; flowers of 

 all kinds were never so scarce, and 

 bring high prices at wholesale, leaving 

 a very narrow margin for the retailer. 

 The rains were a blessing to the state 

 as far as they went. The frosts and dry 

 weather kept everything back in its 

 ■ growth. The hillsides are now covered 

 with a beautiful coat of green; almond, 

 peach and acacia trees are covered with 

 blossoms, and violets are in their glory, 

 and perfume the air wherever grown. 



American Beauties are and have been 

 for some time very scarce, only a favored 

 few of the retailers getting a chance 

 to handle them. What stock is coming 

 in is short-stemmed and the buds are 

 nothing extra ; the same may be said of 

 Meteor and Liberty; Brides and Maids 

 are in fair supply and very good as to 

 quality. Carnations are fair in qual- 

 ity with a large percentage of split 

 calyxes; nevertheless they are bring- 

 ing good prices right along. Violets 

 are very fine, the weather just suiting 

 them. Market is over-stocked with 

 them and prices are away down. Har- 

 risii is coming in in small lots. 



J. Gilmore, Elmhurst, is cutting some 

 fine Meteors and Liberties, which are the 

 best seen in the market. 



Daniel R. Love will move to 1217 

 Broadway, Oakland, Cal., March 1. The 

 location is a good one and the selection 

 could not have been better made. 



That go-ahead young man. Charlie 

 Stapenbeck, Polk street, is not contented 

 with the enlargement of his store from 

 10 to 30 feet frontage, three new' sales- 

 men and a wife. When will Charlie stop? 

 The latest addition is a horse and wagon 

 with liveried driver. Charlie calls the 

 horse Nancy Hanks, although no blood 

 relation to its celebrated namesake. 

 Nancy has a record of a mile in twenty 

 minutes, as wliispered about town. 



Miss Feschiemer has opened a cosy lit- 

 tle florist store at 1150 Sutter street and 

 is carrying a very choice stock in large 

 variety. 



Mr. E. Armstrong and wife, of Santa 

 Barbara, are visitors in town tins week. 

 Bob is looking up some nursery stock 

 for his ten-acre tract of land recently 

 purchased by him in Santa Barbara. It 

 is his intention to run a nursery there. 



James Xiven, Oakland, has received an 

 addition to his family in the shape of a 

 son. They seem to come more than ever, 

 or more than be ever bargained for. This 

 makes four to date. .James seems to be 

 raising them on the European plan, or, 

 as Tom Sheppard would say, ''We 'ave 

 them in England thirteen to" the 'ouses." 



Lyons & Antonia have opened a new 

 store on Sutter street, near Geary street, 



H. S. Sanborn, Oakland, has erected 

 alongside his store on 14th street a 

 plant house 25x40, with a beautiful elec- 

 tric fountain and rockery in center. 

 When lighted up at night it makes a 

 most beautiful -display oif color, the elec- 

 tric lights being of various colofs. The 

 cost was $1,000. 



Shanahan has been very busy with 

 funeral work this week. J. N. 



The special spring number of the 

 Review, to be issued March 20. will be 

 a beauty. Prepare your advs. now.
