The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 22, 1920 



a fine Easter rush and has been busy 

 since with table decorations, corsage 

 worlc and other demands for flowers. 

 He has been driving down to the flower 

 market in a new 7-passenger Marmon 

 car. 



W. E. Kennedy, proprietor of an at- 

 tractive florists' establishment at Six- 

 teenth and Valencia streets, reports 

 business good in the mission district, 

 sales so far this year having shown a 

 nice increase over the same period of 

 1919. 



William Crammatte, who conducts a 

 combined florists' and candy business 

 in Aberdeen, Wash., was a recent visi- 

 tor to the local trade en route to New 

 York. He reported conditions favor- 

 able in the northwest. 



Walter Armacost, of Walter Arma- 

 cost & Co., Los Angeles, Cal., called on 

 some of the local florists during the last 

 week. 



J. A. Axell reports business holding 

 up well since Easter. He is getting a 

 fine cut of roses from Ferrari Bros, and 

 has a particularly nice showing of Lad- 

 die carnations from the Peterson place, 

 across the bay. The railroad strike, he 

 says, has interfered with shipments 

 to a considerable extent, but orders are 

 now being handled without delay to all 

 points this side of Denver, which fur- 

 nishes an outlet for enough California 

 .stock to keep the supply from getting 

 burdensome here. 



Henry Avansino, manager of the E. 

 W. McLellan Co., reports roses in a 

 weakened position on account of the 

 heavy influx of tulips, lilacs and other 

 spring flowers. However, he says that 

 roses continue to clean up well from day 

 to day, especially well considering that 

 eastern shipments have been largely 

 cut off by the railroad strike. The cut 

 of Eussell and Beauty is particularly 

 heavy and the blooms of both these va- 

 rieties show fine quality. 



Enomoto & Co. regret the railroad 

 strike more on account of the interfer- 

 ence with violet shipments than for any 

 other reason. They have a large num- 

 ber of standing orders for violets from 

 eastern points, which they have been 

 unable to fill in the last week or two. 

 This is particularly annoying to them 

 in view of the fact that the quality of 

 the violets still on the market is un- 

 usually good for this late in the season. 

 Domoto Bros, have resumed shipping 

 to a considerable extent and report busi- 

 ness fairly active. They have an espe- 

 cially fine showing of potted rhododen- 

 drons and p]astcr lilies, both potted and 

 cut from their own nursery. They fig- 

 ure that their supply of Easter lilies 

 will last until about September. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. says 

 the railroad strike has hurt business to 

 a considerable extent, but that ship- 

 ments are going forward again now 

 without much prospect of further delay. 

 Avansino Bros, are getting well 

 settled in their new store on Geary 

 street, facing Union Square, and find 

 business inclined to increase in the new 

 location. 



A. O. Stein made the pall for the fu- 

 neral of I. W. Hellman^a prominent San 

 Francisco financier, and had charge of 

 the floral arrangement at the home. Or- 

 chids were used for the pall. Some of 

 the other florists had considerable work 

 for this funeral also. 



A. J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., 

 left a few days ago for San Diego, Cal., 

 and other southern points. Business is 

 reported holding up well for this time of

 Oentlemen— It may interest you to know the results 

 from the few Freesias that we had from you August, 

 1919--3000 5-8 inch and 2000 3-4 inch-5000 in all. From 

 the 5000 bulbs we cut and sold practically 24,000 

 blooms. We think this is » wonderful result, and 

 whether our methods of culture were different or 

 not, we grive jfreat credit to the quality of the bulbs. 



Yours respectfully, 

 F. A. Van Kirk, Sec. VAN KIRK FLORAL CO.

The Market. 



The market now is normal, "with possi- 

 bly a little shortage in some lines, ow- 

 ing to the wet and cold weather for the 

 last two weeks. 



There are large quantities of carna- 

 tions arriving on the market and they 

 are of good quality. There are also 

 plenty of sweet peas, but they are not 

 so good, having short stems and flow- 

 ers. Violets are plentiful, but not much 

 in demand. Narcissi and daffodils, of 

 which there are many thousands grown 

 by amateurs, are selling in candy, cigar
