The Florists' Review 



Febbuary 10, 1916. 



Orleans ami after Mr. Ward's arrival 

 they will go on to the new i)lace 

 at Eureka. This concern is going 

 largely into the propagation and cul- 

 ture of rhododendrons, boxwoods, bay 

 trees and other stock now imported from 

 Belgium and Holland, the moist atmos- 

 phere and soil of Eureka being well 

 suited to this purpose. " 



Mr. Davis, vegetable grower of Au- 

 rora, 111., was a visitor here last week 

 and made the rounds with Mr. Kivers, 

 one of our largest commission men. 



O. H. Drew is on an eastern trip in 

 connection with the settlement of his 

 mother's estate. 



The thermometer fell to 28 'degrees at 

 MonteVjello the night of January 30, 

 this being by far the coldest night we 

 have had this year. Verbenas and 

 heliotropes were touched a little by 

 frost and in the foothill towns 

 wigandias and musas , are disfigured 

 some. No damage to the citrus crop 

 is recorded. H. R. Richards. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The storm at the close of January 

 whitened with snow all the hills around 

 San Francisco and Oakland, but fair 

 weather since has brightened the retail 

 trade considerably, and the approach 

 of Valentine 's day is bringing in many 

 orders for decorative work. Funeral 

 business continues active. Wholesale 

 business is greatly hampered by inter- 

 ruption of rail and, in some cases, wire 

 communication with many markets, but 

 there is hardly stock enough to fill all 

 the orders that could otherwise be han- 

 dled. Flowers are arriving in larger 

 quantities, but nearly everything still 

 is short of the demand and high in 

 price. New items last week were sev- 

 eral kinds of fruit blossoms, which gave 

 a pleasing variety in the stores, and 

 . some nice cinerarias. 



Carnations now are in fair supply, but 

 with roses so scarce the price is stiffly 

 maintained. A few growers are get- 

 ting a good cut of roses; Russell is fine 

 and seems to be taking the lead just 

 now, while Sunburst and Cecile Brun- 

 ner are in strong demand. In fact, 

 there is such competition among buyers 

 that high prices are held for all vari- 

 eties, and even poor stock cleans up 

 quickly. Freesias are in good supply 

 and Chinese lilies and narcissi are some- 

 what easier, but still high. Enough 

 daffodils are in to make a fair showing, 

 but they still come slowly; warmer 

 weather is needed to bring them out 

 well. Offerings of forced tulips, hya- 

 cinths, etc., are light. There are plenty 

 of trashy violets, but it is hard to get 

 enough good stock ' to fill shipping or- 

 ders. A little more sunshine would 

 bring an abundance. 



Valley is scarce as before, while 

 Easter lilies are more plentiful. Cut 

 cyclamen, primulas, heather and schi- 

 zanthus are considerably used. Gar- 

 denias continue scarce, while orchids 

 are almost too plentiful, only the finest 

 bringing satisfactory prices. Of the 

 oattleyas, Triana) is especially fine. 

 Heather plants and azaleas continue to 

 find a good sale and primulas are hold- 

 ing their own. Cyclamen and camellia 

 plants are less in evidence. Blooming 

 acacia, eucalyptus and pussy willow are 

 extensively used. Asparagus is scarce 

 and other greens, such as smilax and 

 cut adiantums, are in strong demand.
