The Florists^ Review 



March 1, 1917. 



in the Bellevue hotel building, just 

 across the street from the Clift hotel. 

 They find that the patronage from the 

 two hotels alone is large. Miss Murray 

 recently opened a store on Geary street, 

 near Larkin street, and is now giving it 

 her full attention, as she found it diffi- 

 cult to divide her time between the two 

 places. 



David Lichtenstein was operated upon 

 for appendicitis a few days ago and is 

 reported doing nicely. While he is in- 

 cai)acitated his wife is looking after the 

 business. Mrs. Lichtenstein had just re- 

 turned from a little trip when her hus- 

 band was taken ill. 



Frank Claverie, for nine years with 

 the American Florist, on Polk street, re- 

 cently took over the business of the 

 Bianchini Co., at 1457 Polk street. He 

 is satisfied with his new venture, as 

 business to date has been much better 

 tliau he anticipated. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee shipped many vio- 

 lets for St. Valentine's day and now is 

 enjoying a good shipping business. She 

 has a 15-acre field devoted to violets on 

 her ranch at Colma, and the flowers are 

 now at their best- Mrs. Darbee reports 

 business excellent at her store on Hyde 

 street. She has been featuring fruit 

 blossoms with good success. 



Albert O. Stein recently took a little 

 pleasure trip to Stockton and Napa. He 

 was gone three days and greatly en- 

 joyed the respite from business. The 

 force at the Stein establishment has 

 been unusually busy with decorations 

 for receptions, weddings, dinners, etc. 

 Owing to a scarcity of orchids, orders 

 were turned down for corsages for the 

 Mardi Gras February 20. Quantities 

 of fruit blossoms were used at a Palace 

 hotel Avedding this week. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. has two 

 houses of Auierican Beauties and expects 

 to begin cutting a nice crop soon, ac- 

 cording to J. A. Axcll. By the time 

 this goes to press, he says, they will 

 probably be bringing in a great many 

 more roses than at present. This con- 

 cern makes a specialty of Cecile Brun- 

 ner and is having success with it th'a 

 season, not only supplying its own ship- 

 ping demands but also furnishing other 

 shippers with stock. The company has 

 purchased another delivery automobile, 

 the fifth machine for use in the business. 

 A. Zirkman has been calling on the 

 local trade in the interests of the M. 

 Eiee Co., of Philadelphia. 



Daniel MacEorie, of MacRorie & Mc- 

 Laren, has returned from a business trip 

 to Los Angeles and other southern 

 points. John McLaren has been touring 

 the southern part of the state on a 

 pleasure trip, accompanied by Mrs. Mc- 

 Laren. The firm handled the decora- 

 tions for the Mardi Gras, one of the 

 biggest social functions of the season. 

 A special pavilion was constructed for 

 it adjoining the St. Francis hotel, on 

 Post street. The idea of a Russian fort 

 was carried out in detail. The princi- 

 pal feature of the decoration was large 

 triangles made of a solid mat of acacias, 

 outlined with woodwardia ferns. The 

 demand for corsages for the ball was so 

 heavy that the entire supply of orchids, 

 gardenias and valley was exhausted 

 early in the day. 



At Lundberg's store, on Polk street, 

 business is reported good in all branches. 

 The San Francisco Seed Co. is supply- 

 ing a big demand for fruit trees, espe- 

 cially almonds, and other nursery stock. 

 Mr. Pitts, of the W. F. Pitts Seed 

 & Nursery Co., reports an active export 

 demand for seeds. His company is now

This new class of miniature roses is Kaining 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

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.
