The Florists' Review 



March 0, 1916. 



bly buttercups and poppies, but they 

 are rather scarce. Stocks, forget-me- 

 not, etc., are in better supply. Carna- 

 tions are cheap again, with plenty of 

 stock. No increase is expected in the 

 cut of roses for several weeks. There 

 are few Beauties, and everything else 

 is high in price, being quickly sold out. 

 Eussell, Ward, Shawyer and Sunburst 

 are probably the most popular vari- 

 eties at present. Orchids have been 

 in heav^ demand for large funeral 

 pieces. Fhalsenopsis is coming in fairly 

 well, but Cattleya Trianae is about 

 gone, with C. Schroederiana not yet 

 plentiful and C. MossisD several weeks 

 off. Many azaleas still are sold, rhodo- 

 dendrons being scarce. Camellias are 

 in fair supply and potted wistaria in 

 full bloom is an attractive novelty. 

 Pansies, etc., for bedding, are in strong 

 demand, and many pansies are used in 

 decorative work. Nursery stock, gla- 

 diolus bulbs, dahlia tubers and seeds 

 are moving in good shape. 



Varioos Noies. 



Podesta & Baldocchi have added as 

 a decorative feature to their store a 

 handsome garden table of Italian mar- 

 ble, with verd antique top, which makes 

 a handsome setting for some of their 

 vase and basket displays. They have 

 had an exceptionally large orchid busi- 

 ness recently, an important item being 

 a large pall of phalsenopsis. 



A. J. Eossi, of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., 

 mentions as an indication of the condi- 

 tion of business this winter, that they 

 ordered at the first of the year what 

 they thought was a year's supply of 

 galax leaves, and by the end of January 

 practically the whole stock had been 

 used. 



Mr. Traversaro, an old employee of 

 Pelicano, Rossi & Co., is expected back 

 at the store in a few ^ays after spend- 

 ing a month in a hospital. 



The Fairmont Floral Co. is making 

 some improvements in its window ar- 

 rangement. Negotiations have been 

 under way with a view to increasing 

 the store frontage, but the matter is 

 not yet settled. 



Charles Stappenbeck, of Polk street, 

 is having a rush of business these days. 

 He says it is mostly funeral work, but 

 he manages to keep a store full of cus- 

 tomers, at that. He is making some 

 effective tulip and hyacinth displays 

 at present. 



Frank Shibeley, of the Shibeley-Mann 

 Co., on Sutter street, near Polk street, 

 reports business better than last year. 

 He says the exposition was no help to 

 business in his neighborhood, and that 

 things have been livelier ever since it 

 closed. 



Albert O. Stein reports the busiest 

 season he has ever had, especially in 

 table decorations, having dinner deco- 

 rations nearly every day. He had an 

 interesting job last week for the Philo- 

 math Club's luncheon, taking his motif 

 from the current fashion show. The 

 Palace hotel branch is making a satis- 

 factory business showing. Since the 

 first of the year Mr. Stein has had a 

 handsome delivery car, and now he has 

 bought a touring car, which he expects 

 to put to good use during the quiet sea- 

 son this summer. 



F. C. Burns, of San Eafael, is busy 

 shipping dahlia tubers. He has a lot 

 of early seedling dahlias, which, with 

 good luck, he hopes to enter at the 

 flower show in May. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. has found
