The Florists' Review 



June 20, 1916. 



possible to clean up the supplies through 

 the usual channels. As a consequence, 

 carnations, sweet peas and outdoor sum- 

 mer stock of various kinds were sold on 

 the streets at minimum prices and had 

 a tendency to cut down counter trade 

 still further than otherwise would have 

 been the case. As a matter of fact, 

 the principal difl&culty was an over- 

 supply of stock rather than really poor 

 business. Quantities of flowers were 

 sold, but the large surplus made it look 

 as if comparatively little stock was 

 moved. All the summer stock shows ex- 

 cellent quality. Many cornflowers are 

 absorbed and scabiosas are popular. 

 Qood zinnias are arriving and asters are 

 becoming plentiful. 



The principal feature of the market 

 is the gladiolus. Florists say they never 

 before saw so many gladioli coming at 

 once, which is due to the fact that 

 growers planted at the same time. The 

 supply of dahlias is increasing rapidly, 

 there being many cactus dahlias. Delice 

 is fine and Minnie Burgle is all that can 

 be desired. Boses continue in abundant 

 supply and the • demand holds up par- 

 ticularly well, considering the large va- 

 riety^' of cheaper summer flowers the 

 market affords. My Maryland is hav- 

 ing a good sftle and Ophelia cleans up 

 at fair prices. Sunburst and September 

 Morn come in for due attention, while 

 baby roses enjoy their usual wholesome 

 demand. Beauties show fine quality 

 for this time of the year and sell fairly 

 well. Valley is sQ|pe(P and the supply 

 of orchids barely fits tk^^emand. 

 Quantities of fine hydrangearf^ill are 

 arriving and unusually fine cockscomb is 

 offered. Greens are in ample supply. 



Various Notes. 



The Misses Hannon, who have been 

 temporarily located on Sutter street, 

 near Stockton, for some time, have de- 

 cided not to move back to their former 

 location on Polk street. They probably 

 will take a new location downtown. 



E. W. McLellan, of the E. W. Mc- 

 Lellan Co., has purchased a new auto- 

 mobile for his own use. This company 

 still has a nice cut of Beauties, al- 

 though these are the low-ebb days of 

 these roses. 



E. James is bringing in some of the 

 finest cockscomb ever seen in this 

 market. 



Theodore Payne, a seedsman of Los 

 Angeles, visited the local trade re- 

 cently. 



The chrysanthemum growers have 

 been planting since May and hope to 

 finish by the middle of July at the lat- 

 est. They report the weather as being 

 all that could be desired and are look- 

 ing forward to an excellent season. 

 From all indications the acreage will 

 be fully as large as it was last year. 



Domoto Bros, report a good shipping 

 business, principally of valley, roses and 

 gladioli, and they anticipate further de- 

 velopment in the demand for flowers 

 from the far east. 



v. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, 

 has the sympathy of the trade in the 

 death of his 8-year-old son. 



Isaac H. Wolfe, with Joseph's, on 

 Grant avenue, has returned to duty 

 after a pleasant outing at Lake Tahoe. 

 He was gone a month. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. is 

 extending its shipping business farther 

 east and reports that this branch of 

 the business is progressing rapidly. The
