The Florists^ Review 



..ui.arwt* «, 1816. 



Co., has just returned from a fishing 

 trip to Bear lake. Instead of the usual 

 stories of the big ones that got away, 

 he has packed home photographs of his 

 daily catches and one of the photo- 

 graphs is here reproduced. The new 

 fern, he says, is selling finely. 



At the store of the L. A. Floral Co. 

 a good number of Memorial day orders 

 had to be turned down owing to lack 

 of sufficiently good stock for long-dis- 

 tance shipping. 



O. C. Saakes is showing an elegant 

 line of decorated baskets. 



Good pot plants are making a fine 

 show in the windows of Wright 's Flow- 

 er Shop. 



Oscar Paseman, who has been with 

 Morris Goldenaon for several years, 

 joined the force of the Broadway Flo- 

 rist June 1. 



In addition to the nursery, delivery 

 trucks, Howard & Smith have placed 

 a delivery car on the road to take care 

 of the florists' end of the business. 



Fred Hills reports the demand for 

 Boston ferns so good that he has to take 

 orders in advance and hold the stock 

 until ready for customers.

SAN JOSE, CAL. 



The fact that large fields of sweet 

 peas, growing for seed, are commonplace 

 sights in the Santa Clara valley does 

 not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of 

 San Jose flower-lovers for the sweet 

 pea. The San Jose Chamber of Com- 

 merce put on a three-day sweet pea 

 show, commencing May 17. Although 

 no prizes were offered, a large number 

 of exhibitors participated and the daily 

 attendance was large. Aside from an 

 exhibit of field-grown blooms by the 

 Braslan Seed Growers Co., all entries 

 were made by amateurs, chief among 

 whom was Emile Ealston, who entered 

 twenty-seven varieties of the Spencer 

 type, including most of the newly in- 

 troduced sorts.

The cool weather continued till after 

 June 1. Outdoor flowers were available 

 only in limited quantities for Memorial 

 day and the growers of cut stock were 

 called upon to supply the deficiency. 

 This caused an acute shortage, espe- 

 cially in carnations. The situation was 

 relieved slightly by shipments of flowers 

 from California. Blooming pot plants 

 were in great demand and nearly every- 

 thing was sold or cut. ij^ery dealer 

 interviewed stated that his business 

 for Memorial day was the best for 

 several years, and that the month of 

 May showed a marked improvement 

 over last year. 



Dealers in bedding stock have had a 

 brisk season so far, with prospects that 

 the demand will continue well into the 

 month of June. Seedsmen report their 

 May business better than last year. 

 One house claims an advance of thirty 

 per cent. Shippers of cut flowers have 

 not ofti^n been able to fill all orders 

 from outside points since the first of 

 the year, so the market has been slightly 

 on the short side. Shippers of growing 

 stock have had a normal business. 

 Wholesale growers of cut stock have 

 had no waste and have realized a profit 

 from their output. 



Last week brought in the first pink.
