The Eorists' Review 



October 26, 1916. 



There is a splendid cut of gardenias 

 and the demand leaves no grounS for 

 complaint. The same is true of orchids.' 

 Potted stock is more in evidence and 

 the demand is fully up to expectations. 

 As a whole, business is quite good, few 

 complaints being heard from any 

 quarter. 



Various Notes. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, was here 

 a few days ago. He announced that 

 extensive preparations are being made 

 for a flower show to be given in that 

 city November 2, 3 and 4, under the 

 auspices of thp Sacramento Floral So- 

 ciety, of which Mr. Ebel is a member. 

 The object of the show is to promote 

 interest in flowers, and the proceeds 

 will be turned over to charity. Several 

 San Francisco growers have signified 

 their intention of exhibiting and it is 

 expected a lot of fine stock will be 

 shown. 



The E. W. McLellan Co., according 

 to Manager Axell, has started heavy 

 shipments of chrysanthemums, violets, 

 Cecile Brunner roses and greens. Mr. 

 Axell says pompons are fine for ship- 

 ping and that Mexican ivy and maiden- 

 hair ferns are in excellent demand. 



Shipping business generally is heav- 

 ier than usual, as evidenced by the fact 

 that the American Express Co. recently 

 had to put on an extra refrigerator car. 



Frank Pelicano, of Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co., is spending a week at Byron Hot 

 Springs, not on account of rheumatism 

 this time, but as a preventive measure. 



D. Raymond, of the Garden City Pot- 

 tery Co., of San Jose, H. Plath, of this 

 city, and H. A. Hyde, of Watsonville, 

 left in the latter' part of the week 

 on a 10-day automobile trip to Los 

 Angeles and other points in the south- 

 ern part of the state. The principal 

 object of their making the trip at this 

 time was to attend the convention of 

 nurserymen at Santa Barbara. 



The sixth annual convention of the 

 California Association of Nurserymen 

 was postponed from October 19, 20 and 

 21 to October 26, 27 and 28. It was 

 held in the Civic Recreation building at 

 Santa Barbara, Cal. An interesting and 

 ifistructive program was provided, cov- 

 ering nearly every phase of an enlight- 

 ened horticultural practice. 



John Gill, of West Berkeley, sent out 

 a large number of pamphlets extending 

 a cordial invitation to members of the 

 trade to attend the nurserymen's con- 

 vention in Santa Barbara. 



A huge white chrysanthemum plant, 

 bearing no less than 220 blooms, was 

 placed on exhibition in the main lobby 

 of the Palace hotel a few days ago by 

 MacRorie & McLaren. Needless to say, 

 it is attracting a great deal of atten- 

 tion, as it is one of the largest and 

 most perfect specimens of its kind ever 

 seen here. The company contemplated 

 exhibiting it in the window of the 

 store on Powell street, but it was too 

 large for the space. 



Harry Bensen and Felice Lagomar- 

 sino, doing business at Sacramento un- 

 der the firm name of Bensen-Lagomar- 

 sino Seed Co., have dissolved partner- 

 ship. 



It is understood that a new store is 

 to be opened at Fourteenth and Web- 

 ster streets, Oakland, by W. Higgins, 

 who formerly was in business in San 

 Francisco. 



The Misses Hannon report an excel- 

 lent fall trade at their store on Sutter 

 street. They were much gratified by 

 being called upon to make the pall for
