The Florists' Review 



Febuuakv 15, 1917. 



have been lost had not the florists been 

 able to interest visitors in plants when 

 they failed to find the cut flowers they 

 desired. A shortage of ferns, maiden- 

 hair and asparagus is causing some in- 

 convenience. 



Various Notes. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. shipped 

 more violets for St. Valentine's day 

 than ever before, which, in the opinion 

 of J. A. Axell, shows that the florists 

 of the middle west appreciate Califor- 

 nia-grown violets more each year. 



Domoto Bros, report plant importa- 

 tions from Japan coming through in 

 good shape. 



Frank D. Pelicano is introducing a 

 new violet, which he hopes to produce 

 extensively another year. It is the 

 same shade as Quaker Lady, but has a 

 double flower. It has a good stem and 

 is fine for corsages. 



H. Plath is bringing in some fine 

 azaleas. 



A partial change has taken place in 

 the ownership of the Art Floral Co. 

 Julius Eppstein sold his stock to 

 K. Lewis, wlio subsequently turned it 

 over to the company. P. Vincent 

 Matraia continues as president and 

 manager. Mr. Eppstein has taken over 

 the branch of the Art Floral Co. in the 

 St. Francis hotel, which he operated 

 before consolidating with the company 

 three years ago. In tlie future he will 

 conduct that store under his own name. 



MacRorie & McLaren decorated the 

 Hotel Oakland for the Sherman ball, 

 using quantities of carnations, wood- 

 wardia ferns, sniilax, palms and eu- 

 calypti. 



C. Kooyman lias a nice cut of Kil- 

 larneys and Richmond. 



F. J. Bertrand, manager of the B. 

 M. Joseph store, !ias no complaints to 

 make, as business is active in all 

 brandies and stock is good. 



Pelicano & Ginocchio, proprietors of 

 the Frank D. Pelicano dahlia farm, 

 have issued their 1017 catalogue of 

 California field-grown bulbs. Special 

 feature is made of Mr. Pelicaru)'s new 

 decorative dahlia, Dr. Harry L. Tevis, 

 which was awarded first prize for new 

 seedling dahlias at the P. P. L E.; 

 also first prizes at tlic 1916 ishows of 

 tlie California Dahlia Society and the 

 California Dalilia Growers' Associa- 

 tion. An invitation is extended to 

 visitors to call at the farm. 



The Sacramento Valley Rose Grow- 

 ers' Association has elected the follow- 

 ing officers for the ensuing year: Presi- 

 dent, Frank B. Gilliam; vice-president, 

 Mrs. N. H. McAnston; secretary, M. H. 

 Jellison; corresjionding secretary, F. M. 

 Porter; treasurer. Temple Crane. 



A large wliite dahlia, one of the lat- 

 est creations of Luther Burbank, is to 

 be the official flower of Oakland. Mr. 

 Burbank in a letter to the Oakland 

 Chamber of Commerce oifered to name 

 the dahlia for the city, and tlie offer 

 was accejitod. 



Improvements at C. Navlet 's store 

 at Sail .lose, Gal., wliich have been in 

 progress for several months, are about 

 completed. An elaborate formal open- 

 ing is being planned. At the Navlet 

 flower stand in tluA Emporium, San 

 Francisco, Manager Picetti reports Imsi- 

 ness satisfactory. 



Podcsta & Baldocchi liave had a busy 

 week. A wedding and a funeral ke])t 

 the force working overtime. This house 

 has been making a prominent feature 

 of orchids, but eclipsed all its previous 



l-ua^rtfty BABY RAMBLERS ^iAV 



This new class of miniature roses is eaininK won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so. Their 

 excetding freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any other bedding or border plant. Their 

 possibilities are worth your attention and consideration. 



A Few of the Best: 



Echo Orleans Mrs. Taft 



Phyllis Ellen Poulsen Jeanne d'Arc 



Ema Teschendorif Baby Dorothy Maman Turbat 

 Jessie Baby Elegance Geo. Elger 



BABY DOLL 



The most rapturously^ and strikingly beautiful little 

 rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and 

 startling in its brilliancy— 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.
