The Florists' Review 



Masch 16, 1916. 



reports that business is good generally 

 but a little quiet during the recent hot 

 days. The new store on Seventh street 

 is unusually attractive. 



Many of the newer tulips, daffodils 

 and other bulbous stock are in bloom 

 at the nursery of the Germain Seed & 

 Plant Co. Inquiries for Easter stock 

 here are already numerous and it ap- 

 pears as though lilies, rhododendrons 

 and similar stock will be cleaned up 

 beforehand. 



Polder Bros, were the first in the 

 market this year with Darwin tulips 

 and they are sending in fine stock.

The Market. 



The market is flooded with flowers, 

 but the quality averages fairly well, 

 and an unusually active demand for 

 this season of the year keeps the sur- 

 plus down. Ordinary carnations are 

 plentiful and cheap, the increasing sup- 

 ply of good bulbous stock having a 

 tendency to keep the price down. Really 

 fine carnations are always in limited 

 supply, however, and the light offerings 

 find a ready outlet at satisfactory 

 prices. Jonquils and daffodils continue 

 plentiful, but no one is anxious to see 

 them go, as they maintain their popu- 

 larity well. Poeticus narcissus is be- 

 coming plentiful and sells well. There 

 is a good supply of snowdrops, and 

 forget-me-nots, stocks, marigolds and 

 migrnonette are arriving in sufficient 

 quantity to supply all requirements. 

 No Spanish iris has put in an appear- 

 ance as yet, but there are many of 

 the native and German varieties, some 

 of which are good. Callas are seen 

 everywhere, being almost too common 

 to sell well, and Easter lilies also are 

 exceedingly plentiful. Some cornflowers 

 are beginning to appear, but the supply 

 is too limited for them to be much of 

 a feature. Liberal offerings of butter- 

 cups, poppies and several other wild 

 flowers find a ready market. An abun- 

 dance of peach blossoms finds an outlet 

 at fairly good prices. There still is a 

 good cut of freesias, and many anemo- 

 nes and ranunculi are being used to 

 advantage. A nice cut of Chrysolora 

 tulips is arriving from San Leandro. 

 There are plenty of good potted hya- 

 cinths, and many azaleas are in evi- 

 dence. More rhododendrons are com- 

 ing in and they are welcome, and good 

 potted lilacs are arriving. Rambler 

 roses in pots are attracting consider- 

 able attention. Roses, generally, are 

 in better supply and good stock is 

 readily absorbed. Cecile Brunner, 

 Ophelia, Russell and Sunburst are popu- 

 lar. An active demand is reported for 

 plants for bedding, nice pansies being 

 unusually popular. Orchids and gar- 

 denias are fine and move fairlv well. 

 Asparagus is improving, but is still 

 rather scarce, and other greens are in 

 good demand. 



Horticultural Society Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society was held 

 on the evening of March 4, with the 

 new president, E. James, in the chair 

 for the first time, for he was unable 

 to attend the previous meeting. The 

 committee on revision of by-laws, con- 

 sisting of Daniel MacRorie and H. 

 Plath, submitted a report which was 

 read^ and recorded. It provides for 

 admitting to life membership, on pay-
