The Florists' Review 



February 1, 1917. 



IS well siqipliod with orchids, there be- 

 ing sufficient ofl'erinp to fill all require- 

 ments. Prices remain the same. Valley 

 is a little more plentiful. Supplies of 

 acacia and manzanita blooms, fruit blos- 

 soms and pussy willow are increasing 

 rapidly. 



Various Notes. 



The principal feature of an elaborate 

 decoration arranged recently at the Na- 

 tive Sons' hall by Pelicano, Rossi & Co. 

 was a gold horn of plenty which stood 

 about eighteen feet high. The column 

 was garlanded with violets and the horn 

 Avas treated spirally with violets and 

 purple ribbon. Out of the horn pro- 

 jected fifteen dozen American Beauty 

 roses. About fifteen dozen bunches of 

 fifty violets each were used. At the 

 base of the column was a garden elToct 

 of cinerarias. 



Ferrari Bros, are attaining consider- 

 able importance as commercial orchid 

 growers. They decided to go into this 

 line more strongly some time ago and 

 now are bringing in a nice cut. They 

 also have a fine cut of tulips. 



It is understood that V. H. Forrest, 

 until recently with MacRorie & Mc- 

 Laren, intends to engage in the deco- 

 ration business on his own account. 



The California Dahlia Growers' Asso- 

 ciation will hold a meeting at the Palace 

 hotel February 6. 



Albert O. Stein made a pall of sweet 

 peas, the first of the season, for the fu- 

 neral of Betty de Jong. • lie also made 

 a pall of orchids and lily of the valley 

 for a noted rabbi's funeral the same 

 week. Mr. Stein reports numerous 

 table decorations and an important wed- 

 ding, so his force is winding up a busy 

 January. 



The general ap]ioarance of the store 

 of the Francis Floral Co., at Powell and 

 Sutter streets, has been greatly im- 

 proved by the thorough renovation it 

 has just received. Under the new ar- 

 rangement excellent display facilities 

 arc provided for the company's own 

 basket creations, which are its special- 

 ty. Francis Schlotzhauer, the pro- 

 ])rietor, has just brought out a new line 

 of novelties resembling in design and 

 finisli work that was done in Italy many 

 years ago. No two of these baskets are 

 alike, and after being used as orna- 

 mental containers for flowers, they make 

 handsome fruit baskets, carcl trays, etc. 

 Mr. Schlotzhauer says these novelties 

 are popular witli tourists. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee usually ships 

 many violets for St. Valentine's day, 

 but she is afraid stock will be scarce 

 this year unless there should come a 

 little rain and plenty of sunshine in the 

 meanwhile. She has an order to supply 

 the bou([uets of violets to be distrib- 

 uted at the National Fruit Jobbers' con- 

 vention at New Orleans by the Cali- 

 fornia delegates. The practice of send- 

 ing California flowers for distribution 

 at conventions outside the state, she 

 says, is rapidly gaining in favor and 

 should be encouraged by the florists. 

 Mrs. Darbee has just received a hand- 

 some silver cup awarded for the l)Ost 

 collection of chrysanthemums at the 

 convention of the International Soil 

 Products Co., in El Paso, Tex., also a 

 number of ribbons from that exhibition, 

 as well as from the recent state fair 

 held at Dallas, Tex. These she is dis- 

 playing prominently at her retail store 

 on Hyde street, in conjunction with the 

 five medals and other awards she re- 

 ceived from the P. P. T. E.

This new class of miniature roses is raining: won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so. Their 

 exceeding freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any other bedding or border plant. Their 

 possibilities are worth your attention and consideration.

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little 

 rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and 

 startling in its biilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with 

 clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele- 

 gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the 

 very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is 

 remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea- 

 son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and 

 have no hesitancy in offering it as the one best selling 

 rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker. 



Also special prices on all commerial varieties of 

 Hybrid Teas.
