The Florists' Review 



March 15, 191T. 



gradually increasing, but there is no im- 

 mediate prospect of a glut. Easter lilies, 

 though not in extra heavy supply, arrive 

 in ample quantities to meet the demand. 

 No callas are to be seen. Bulbous stock 

 constitutes a large portion of the ar- 

 rivals, abundant offerings of daffodils, 

 narcissi, tulips, hyacinths and freesias 

 selling well and cleaning up closely, thus 

 far without much recession in price. 

 The stems of the tulips and hyacinths 

 are longer and the blooms improved, 

 which makes toward a more spirited 

 demand. Freesias are having a long run 

 of popularity. They have commanded 

 about the same price since early in Jan- 

 uary, notwithstanding the heavier ar- 

 rivals of other flowers of a competitive 

 nature. Snapdragons are offered more 

 freely, and the supply is easily disposed 

 of. Anemones show excellent quality, 

 and they are well received. Flowering 

 plants hold a strong position. Nice pink 

 rhododendrons are beginning to appear, 

 and the cyclamens, primroses and aza- 

 leas maintain a high average. Azalea 

 Indica is particularly fine. More orchids 

 could be used at some of the stores. 

 Plumosus is still scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society was called 

 to order on the evening of March 3, but 

 it was adjourned immediately out of re- 

 spect to Henry Maier, one of the most 

 active and loyal members, whose wife 

 met an untimely death as the result of 

 mistaking toadstools for mushrooms. 



Daniel MacRorie, of MacEorie & Mc- 

 Laren, has left for the east to attend 

 a meeting of the directors of the S. A. F. 

 and to look after business for his house. 

 This firm has been awarded the contract 

 for the decoration for the outside play 

 to be given at the home of Mrs. Temple- 

 ton Crocker on April 20. The principal 

 feature will be a bower, which will re- 

 quire several carloads of wistaria. The 

 order runs into four figures. Walter 

 Hofinghoff, of this firm, is now laying 

 out the grounds of the new Oak sani- 

 tarium at Los Gates, which comprise 

 forty acres of hillside land. Eight car- 

 loads of shrubs are being used. The 

 firm is getting him a new automobile for 

 use in landscape work, also one for Don- 

 ald McLaren. 



Avansino Bros, report business fully 

 up to expectations at their comparative- 

 ly new, but popular, place on Geary 

 street. 



The Misses Hannon, on Sutter street, 

 near Grant avenue, say the demand for 

 cut flowers is holding up well for the 

 season of the year. 



The Braslan Seed Growers Co., of San 

 Jose, Cal., has been conducting an exten- 

 sive educational campaign in the inter- 

 ests of the sweet pea, calling attention 

 to the fact that as a decorative flower to 

 effectively hide fences, as a background 

 to small plants, for house decoration and 

 the charm of exhibiting, the sweet pea 

 would be difficult to replace. 



Arnold Ringier, representing the W. 

 W. Barnard Co., of Chicago, and Frank 

 Pelicano, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., spent 

 two or three days together at Byron 

 Springs in Contra Costa county the first 

 part of March. 



Ferrari Bros, are bringing in a nice 

 lot of tulips and hyacinths. 



A new store has just been opened at 

 Twenty-third avenue and CalifornlTi 

 street, under the name of the Sea Cliff 

 Florist, by Mrs. E. Kellerman, who has

This new class of minUture roses is Kaininir 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 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.
