The Florists' Review 



Makch 22, 1917. 



and potted, are in good demand. Lilacs 

 are late. Violets are in lighter supply, 

 but they will last some time yet. Few 

 orchids are available at present and 

 there is some uneasiness that the Easter 

 supply will be inadequate. Heavy offer- 

 ings of blossoms clean up daily. 



Various Notes. 



Avansino Bros, are cutting about 30,- 

 000 daffodils per day and some days as 

 many as 40,000. Besides their own store, 

 they supply a good many of the other 

 houses. They expect to begin bringing 

 in Japanese tree peonies about April 1, 

 being the only growers of this variety 

 in the Bay district. Their lilacs will be 

 ready about Easter and promise well. 



Henry Avansino, whose ability as a 

 buyer is unquestioned, never misses a 

 day in visiting the flower market. 

 Whether he needs stock or not, is oflE 

 duty or on, he manages to take note of 

 the supply, demand and prices. He says 

 it is force of habit. Maybe that is the 

 reason for his comparatively few "bad" 

 buys. 



Albert O. Stein reported a nice lot 

 of St. Patrick's day table decorations. 

 He says San Francisco society continues 

 to entertain and be entertained, despite 

 the high cost of living. Two big wed- 

 dings furnished an outlet for quantities 

 of blossoms and spring flowers. At this 

 store the better selling roses are said to 

 be Eussell, both short and long-stemmed, 

 Ophelia and September Morn. 



F. J. Be»trand, manager for B. M. 

 Joseph, reports business holding up well. 

 He considers prospects fine for Easter 

 business and is making preparations ac- 

 cordingly. 



N. Peterson is bringing in splendid 

 Pink Sensation carnations. 



Frank D. Pelicano is wearing the 

 "smile that won't come off," since he 

 became a grandfather. His daughter, 

 Mrs. A. Costa, gave birth to a daughter 

 March 9, and he is now being hailed 

 as "Granny" by his many friends. 



The Misses Hannon have no com- 

 plaints to make about business, as deco- 

 rative work and store trade are both 

 holding up well. Last week a large 

 wedding at San Mateo helped out. 



The Art Floral Co., of which P. Vin- 

 cent Matraia is president and general 

 manager, is now operating the stand in 

 the Clift hotel, on Taylor and Geary 

 streets, in conjunction with its store on 

 Powell street. 



T. Mosco has discontinued his store at 

 20 Geary street and is now conducting 

 a stand on Market street, near Kearny 

 street. 



Miss Rothschild, of the Bellevue Flo- 

 rists, says the hotel business is holding 

 up nicely. Last week a large wedding 

 called for a good many flowers. The 

 bride carried a Dolly Varden bouquet 

 of orchids and valley and the matrons 

 of honor had bouquets of the same style. 

 Blossoms and hyacinths in leghorn hats 

 were used on the tables. 



MacBorie & McLaren recently pur- 

 chased the Lake Merced Nursery, with 

 the intention of using it to grow cut 

 flowers for their retail store, which has 

 already worked up a good business, 

 though only established a few months 

 ago. The firm has planted a large acre- 

 age of asters and delphiniums and has 

 about fourteen acres yet to plant to va- 

 rious other flowers, besides the green- 

 houses. One of the largest shipments of 

 ornamental nursery stock ever sent east 

 from San Francisco was forwarded a 

 few days ago by MacRorie & McLaren. 

 In the consignment, which amounted to

This new class of miniature roses is nininC won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so. Their 

 exceeding freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any other beddinc 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

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.
