The Florists' Review 



Mat 4, 1016. 



ties of rambler roses for Easter and 

 they sold out entirely. In one window 

 they showed some fine Hiawatha plants 

 and in the other equally fine Tausend- 

 schon, while the store was banked with 

 these and other varieties of ramblers. 

 Last week they had a special display 

 of Cattleya Mossiae plants from Car- 

 bone's place at Berkeley. 



Besides largely supplying the trade 

 in the San Francisco bay district with 

 rambler roses for Easter, E. James, of 

 Oakland, shipped about a carload of 

 them to florists in Los Angeles. 



H. Plath says he never before sold 

 80 many primulas as he did this Easter, 

 and then he could not fill all his orders. 

 He also disposed of many rambler roses, 

 spiraeas, lilies and other seasonable 

 stock. In addition he made up a lot 

 of baskets of potted primulas, azaleas 

 and small ferns, which proved popular 

 with the downtown shops. 



Ferrari Bros, are building six green- 

 houses at their place on University ave- 

 nue. They intend to branch out into 

 new lines. 



Henry Maier, partner of Jennie 

 Crocker Whitman in the Burlingame 

 Nursery Co. and superintendent of her 

 estate at Hillsborough, underwent an 

 operation for appendicitis at the Bed 

 Cross hospital, San Mateo, a fortnight 

 ago. His condition is reported satis- 

 factory. The Whitman family were 

 due from the east and Mr. Maier was 

 preparing the Hillsborough place for 

 their home-coming when he was strick- 

 en with illness. 



At a recent meeting of the Alameda 

 County Floral Society held in the Oak- 

 land Museum, Prof. J. M. Gregg <le- 

 livered a lecture on "Dahlia Culture." 



Walter Armacost & Co., florists of 

 Sawtelle, Cal., have sold their branch 

 at Ocean Park. 



Louis and Qerda Nelson, of Oakland, 

 Cal., have filed a certificate of trade 

 style as the Key Route Heights Nur- 

 sery Co. 



An express company official was seat 

 to San Mateo a fortnight ago to look 

 into the matter of rates on cut flowers 

 from the peninsula district to San Fran- 

 cisco. Menlo Park, which is an impor- 

 tant smilax center, enjoys a special 

 rate on cut flowers, and efforts are be- 

 ing made to have the privilege extended 

 to other parts of San Mateo county. 

 There are 450 acres in the north end cf 

 the county devoted to the cultivation 

 of violets alone, while quantities of 

 roses, chrysanthemums, dahlias, carna- 

 tions and many other flowers are grown 

 in the county. 



The Art Floral Co. had several large 

 jobs which kept the force working 

 until 2 o'clock two or three mornings 

 during Easter week. Notable among 

 them were the decorations at the Holy 

 Cross and St. Ignatius churches. 



A flower show was given this week 

 in the Hotel Oakland under the auspices 

 of the Alameda County Floral Society. 

 It was managed by Mrs. A. J. Scan- 

 navino, who had charge of several 

 flower exhibitions at the exposition. 

 She was assisted by John Vallence, 

 George C. Meeker and others. 



Charles Willis Ward, of Eureka, Cal., 

 was in San Francisco recently, and 'it 

 is rumored that he contemplates buy- 

 ing a large tract of land near Oakland, 

 with the intention of establishing a 

 distributing plant for his nurseries. 



The Golden Floral Co. has been 

 granted permission by the state corpo- 

 ration commission to issue 485 shares 

 at par, $50 per share, net to the com-

The Market. 



Good weather, with money a little 

 easier, combined to make Easter this 

 year a record-breaker for the Portland 

 florists.' There was not enough stock 

 to meet the demand. Potted lilies and 

 carnations were sold out early and then 

 all sorts of potted plants — ^hydrangeas, 

 rhododendrons, azaleas, spiraeas, forget- 

 me-nots, pelargoniums and even gera- 

 niums, with potted roses and decorated 

 baskets — were cleaned up. One or two 

 lots of lilies did not come in on time, 

 but most of the growers brought their 

 ! stocks into excellent condition. Carna-
