The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 2, 1916. 



from some growers, but funeral work 

 requires all of them. The movement 

 of violets is heavy, both locally and for 

 shipment, but there is plenty of fine 

 stock for everybody. Sweet peas are 

 almost too scarce to be of commercial 

 importance. Forget-me-not, stocks, 

 marigold, etc., are improving steadily. 

 Phalsenopsis Schilleriana and P. ama- 

 bilis do well, and cattleyas are plenti- 

 ful, with many small ones selling at 

 low prices. Fruit blossoms are seen in 

 greater variety. Azaleas are rather 

 slow and plentiful, and it is perhaps 

 well that few rhododendrons are of- 

 fered. A few spiraeas are seen, but 

 they are rather poor as yet; also a 

 few small hydrangeas. Cinerarias have 

 sold well, and Primula obconica is popu- 

 lar. The demand for Boston ferns has 

 decreased greatly, but small ferns find 

 a good market, and the call for adian- 

 tum and asparagus is good. 



Various Notes. 



Newspapers and public-spirited peo- 



Ele at Sacramento are doing much to 

 ring flowers and ornamentals into 

 greater popularity. An example is the 

 plan to celebrate the opening of the 

 Yolo Causeway with a spring festival. 

 May 11 to 13, when it is planned to 

 cover every vehicle and, as far as pos- 

 sible, the principal buildings of the 

 city with flowers. The trade is sure 

 to derive some immediate benefit. 



The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society wUl hold 

 its monthly meeting on the evening of 

 March 2, and has arranged to have a 

 social evening, to which the members 

 of the society are. invited. The meet- 

 ing will be in Red Men's hall, which is 

 conveniently located, and, in view of 

 the enjoyable nature of previous occa- 

 sions, a large attendance is expected. 



H. Plath, proprietor of The Ferneries, 

 says this year has opened even better 

 than last year, with an active shipping 

 business that is steadily growing. He 

 has cleaned up a large lot of hyacinths, 

 getting most of them in before the 

 prices dropped, but he says many of 

 the tulips are blind. He says that the 

 primulas this season are unusually good, 

 and has several houses of them coming 

 on, while a new shipment of German 

 primula seed has arrived. For Easter 

 specialties, Mr. Plath has a few ram- 

 bler roses and a large crop of Lilium 

 giganteum. 



Mr. Lichtenstein expresses great sat- 

 isfaction with his progress on the Em- 

 barcadero. 



N. E. Lincoln is opening a flower 

 shop at 1604 Devisadero street, near 

 Post street. 



Frank McCabe, of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., Chicago, arrived in San Francisco 

 last week and showed his line at the 

 St. Francis hotel. 



Thomas Fenton, who has for some 

 time had charge of the Foster estate 

 in Marin county, has taken a position 

 as foreman on the San Mateo county 

 establishment of the MacRorie-McLaren 

 Co_^ succeeding Wm. McMillan Brown. 



The bright weather was a rushing 

 time for all the nursery-stock stores, 

 and Mr. Piccetti, manager for Chas. C. 

 Navlet at the Emporium, is one of the 

 busiest, his run beginning early in the 

 morning. Rose plants are one of the 

 leading lines there, with increasing at- 

 tention paid to pansies, etc., for 

 bedding.

 Sacramento and Devisadero streets, has

We had another week of fine weather 

 and business was good for the first half 

 of the week, but it decreased somewhat 

 during the last half. Cut stock was 

 sufficient to fill all local demands. For 

 some time there have not been enough 

 roses to supply out-of-town customers,
