The Florists^ Review 



95 



The nursery of the E. W. McLellan 

 Co. is now one of the show places of 

 Burlingame, the fashionable residence 

 suburb down the peninsula. The place 

 is divided by streets and along the side- 

 walks are flowering fruit trees in full 

 blossom. Between the gfreenhouses are 

 large beds of daffodils, hyacinths, etc., 

 making a riot of color. The rose houses 

 are the principal feature, however. Four 

 large houses of Eussell are in splendid 

 condition, supplying, practically all the 

 excellent stock being offered in the 

 local market. The American Beauty 

 houses are in equally fine shape. 



Arnold Eingier, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., of Chicago, left for Los Angeles 

 March 12, after spending several days 

 in the San Francisco bay district. 



The Walker-Hubbard Nursery Co. has 

 been incorporated at San Fernando, Cal., 

 with a capital stock of $75,000, by T. J. 

 Walker, J. L. Walker, C. D. Hubbard, 

 A. D. Odney and H. A. Decker. 



The Berkeley Chamber of Commerce 

 has announced a plan whereby residents 

 of that city will be called upon to send 

 flowers and blossoms to the churches in 

 the principal eastern cities during the 

 Easter season, the idea being that this 

 section of California can offer no better 

 advertisement at this time of the year 

 than through her flowers. H. S. G. 



POETLAND, OEE. 



Tbe Market. 



Business last week was fully up to ex- 

 pectations. The observance of Lent, no 

 doubt, has its effect on the demand for 

 flowers for social events, but several of 

 the larger retailers say they cannot no- 

 tice it. Green carnations and shamrocks 

 were offered St. Patrick's day. The 

 shamrocks were in the smallest thumb 

 pots. There is no surplus of cut stock 

 except Easter lilies, and one or two large 

 funerals would clean them up. Home- 

 grown violets are now plentiful, but not 

 sufficient to fill all demands. 



Various Notes. 



Niklas & Son showed some blooming 

 French hydrangeas, the first of the sea- 

 son. 



The home of C. Tonseth was damaged 

 by fire on the morning of March 12. 

 Mr. Tonseth extinguished the flames 

 without the aid of the fire department. 

 His loss, estimated at $250, is covered 

 by insurance. 



S. P. Eolph grows violets at his St. 

 Johns establishment and is marketing 

 some excellent flowers of Princess of 

 Wales. He says his plants suffered from 

 drought and the attendant red spider 

 last fall, so that they have not been 

 producing as many blooms as usual. 



Gustavus Weinstein, formerly with 

 the Rahn & Herbert Co., has taken a 

 position as grower with the Wilson, 

 Orout & Gehr Co. This position was 

 left vacant by the removal of A. Alenius 

 to New Mexico. 



W. E. Wood has returned from a trip 

 to the cities of Puget sound. 



tarl Rucnitz reports business satis- 

 tactory. He is operating his store on 

 upper Washington street, most of the 

 time alone. His daughter assists when 

 needed. 



. E. Rosaia has several plots of ground 

 tr- ^®S®**ble8 in the Alameda park dis- 

 "ict He also grows Princess of Wales 

 violets and Minnie Burgle dahlias. He 

 IS a member of the Rosaia family which
