The Florists^ Review 



Fbbbuaby 17, 1916. 



that a hall had been secured for the 

 evening of March 25, and preparations 

 will be made for a pleasant evening for 

 members and their friends. A letter 

 was read asking the cooperation of the 

 society in the flower show to be held 

 during the Marin county floral pageant 

 at San Eafael, May 19 to 21, in honor 

 of the landing of Sir Francis Drake 

 on the shore of that county, and the 

 society voted to give its cooperation. 



Prof. Stephens, of the University of 

 California, gave an interesting illus- 

 trated lecture on "Landscape Garden- 

 ing in California." The evening's ex- 

 hibits attracted considerable attention, 

 consisting of odontoglossums^ by J. A. 

 Carbone, 95 points; four sprays of 

 Phalsnopsis Schilleriana, by the Mac- 

 Eorie-McLaren Co., 90 points; two 

 vases of heather, four sprays each, by 

 Frank Pelicano, 90 points. 



Various Notes. 



The Eichard Diener Co. is getting to 

 work on its new greenhouse at Kent- 

 field. The proposed planting has been 

 delayed by wet weather, but will soon 

 be started. 



Mr. Appleby, formerlv with the 

 Western Orchid Co., of Alameda, and 

 Mr. Letts, who has been engaged in 

 landscape work for the Southern Pa- 

 cific railroad, have gone into partner- 

 ship and are starting a plant estab- 

 lishment. They have bought a tract 

 of land near San Leandro and are 

 working on a greenhouse range. 



L. M. Barrett, a well-known" veteran 

 fern grower of Berkeley, died Janu- 

 ary 24. 



President Daniel MacEorie, of the 

 S. A. F., plans to leave for the east 

 on organization business early in 

 March. 



The florists of Marin county have 

 formed a temporary association to look 

 after the professional end of the flower 

 show, Paul Eckelmann being manager 

 and F. C. Burns secretary. A prize 

 fund of nearly $1,000 has been secured 

 for the show, which will be divided 

 into classes for professional growers, 

 amateurs, florists and school children. 

 The full schedule of prizes will be out 

 soon. 



Among the visiting florists this week 

 are Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, who 

 made a run down the line of growers 

 in San Mateo county, and D. A. 

 Maderia, of Salinas. 



E. W. McLellan, of the E. W. Mc- 

 Lellan Co., has returned from a trip 

 to Seattle and other northern points, 

 where he found it difficult to get about 

 owing to cold weather and heavy 

 snow.

The Markelt 



Another spell of low temperatures, 

 snow and high winds, followed by sleet 

 and what is called a "silver thaw," 

 encased every twig^ leaf, wire, etc., 

 with a coating of ice about one and 

 one-half inches in diameter. For sev- 

 eral days traffic in the city and on the 

 main railroad lines was practically 

 put out of business. So far as heard 

 from, the "oldest inhabitant" has te- 

 called no winters that surpassed this 

 one in severity. The sleet stuck to the 

 glas^ on the greenhouses and could not 

 be kept off by the inside heat. Some 

 damage was done at several ranges.

but nothing serious has been reported. 

 Those who were short of fuel had to do 

 some sharp hustling. The greatest 

 damage resulted to shade trees and 

 shrubbery, which broke down under 

 the weight of the ice. A chinook, or 

 warm wind with rain, caused a sudden 

 melting of the snow and ice, which re- 

 sulted in flood conditions on all the 

 streams and sloppy, disagreeable 

 streets. The florists did but little busi- 

 ness the first week in February, and 

 stock accumulated at the stores and 

 greenhouses. 



When weather conditions became 

 more moderate there was a rush of fu- 

 neral work and more than the usual 

 call for flowers for social events, with 

 plenty of stock to meet all demands. 

 Bulbous blooms are coming in freely 

 and the carnations have increased, 

 though their quality is not prime. 

 Daffodils are almost in oversupply, with 

 a tendency to depress prices. The first 

 genistas are in and tulips and Dutch 

 h^racinths of all shades are shown. 

 Some splendid cyclamens are displayed, 

 but they are not so popular as they 

 were a month ago.
