The Florists' Review 



NOTEMBBB 9, 1910. 



cultivation this year and is said to be 

 the largest violet producer in the state. 

 He recently purchased three auto^ao- 

 biles for delivery purposes and now is 

 doing an extensive shipping business, 

 as well as supplying many of the San 

 Francisco florists with stock. He is 

 bringing in a fine cut of Princess and 

 Giant violets and a good many of his 

 new variety, known as Exposition, 

 which is a lighter shade than the ordi- 

 nary violet. Mr. Lagomarsino has been 

 growing violets on a gradually increas- 

 ing scale for several years. 



The Pacific Grove Dahlia Co. has is- 

 sued a new dahlia catalogue. It con- 

 tains twenty-four pages describing the 

 different varieties of dahlias, with an 

 instructive foreword on the culture of 

 dahlias. Full-page photographs of the 

 company's gardens are included. 



Peter Grifo, with Joseph's store, is 

 back at work, after being laid up foi 

 two weeks with blood poisoning in his 

 hand, which was caused by a rose thorn. 



F. J. Bertrand, manager of Joseph's, 

 says the committees which were ap- 

 pointed some time ago to work for bet- 

 ter conditions in the local trade are 

 making progress and probably will have 

 important announcements to make in 

 the near future. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing 

 in some nice gardenias, but only in lim- 

 ited quantities, as they have been 

 budded closely. This company has a 

 wonderful crop of Russell roses and con- 

 tinues to cut quantities of Cecile Brun- 

 ner. Sunburst and "Ward show good 

 quality. 



Adolph Winters has leased new quar- 

 ters for his flower and music store at 

 Bichmond, an industrial suburb on the 

 east side of San Francisco bay. In the 

 new location, Macdonald avenue and 

 Eleventh street, he will have a store 

 11x50 feet, with a mezzanine floor. 

 The place is to be fitted up in fine shape 

 for occupancy at an early date. 



Lavazello &u,Picetti have sold their 

 store at 1457 Haight street to Bert T. 

 Dinnes. 



The bulb sale at the Emporium flower 

 department was a big success, aepording 

 to Manager Picetti. 



Mrs. E. E. Darbee continues to ship 

 quantities of chrysanthemums. She 

 says her shipping business is better 

 than ever before. With retail business 

 also holding up well, she has no ground 

 for complaint. 



The Art Floral Co. recently arranged 

 a vase of orchids worth $200 for a 

 golden wedding anniversary. The vase 

 stood about thirty-six inches high and 

 contained some twenty varieties of or- 

 chids, which were grown by J. A. 

 Carbone, of Berkeley. S. H. G. 



lEATTLE, WASH. 



There is an inadequate supply of cut 

 flowers, a condition that has prevailed 

 for some time. Chrysanthemums are 

 fairly plentiful, but this cannot be said 

 of other flowers. Business is a little 

 above normal and it may be expected 

 that prices, considering all things, 

 should have an upward tendency. 

 Such, however, is not the case, and 

 in some instances flowers are sold 

 more cheaply than in previous years, 

 when they were produced at far less 

 cost. The opinion is often, expressed 

 that it takes the Seattle florists a long 

 time to wake up, and, judging by the 

 advertisements lately displayed in the 

 local papers, that opinion is well found-
