The Florists' Review 



XOVBMBBR 23, 1916. 



to arrive and the shipping demand is 

 all that could be desired. There is a 

 good cut of Paper Whites, but it is too 

 early for these to sell well. Cut cycla- 

 mens are well taken and potted cycla- 

 mens are more of a feature. Orchids 

 are extremely scarce. There are plenty 

 of greens, including brakes, asparagus 

 and adiantum. Moderate offerings of 

 Bermuda lilies are readily absorbed. 



Various Notes, 



Mark Ebcl came down from Sacra- 

 mento, Cal., a few days ago. He re- 

 ported the recent flower show given in 

 that city a great success. Five florists 

 of the city participated, and made a 

 good showing, but no names were used, 

 it being a general and not competitive 

 show. 



The Growers' Cut Flower Co., of Ked- 

 wood City, Cal., reports the loss of all 

 its big mums during the recent frost, 

 but it saved many pompons. 



Manager Axell, of the E. W. McLel- 

 lan Co., reports a heavy shipping move- 

 ment of violets. 



MacRorie & McLaren have several 

 large houses of good poinsettias coming 

 on for the holidays. 



Some of the retailers have been us- 

 ing cut white cyclamens effectively in 

 corsage and basket arrangements, to 

 take the place of lily of the valley, 

 which is not to be had at any price 

 here. 



Charles Backman, formerly connected 

 with the trade in Oakland, has accept- 

 ed a position with Joseph's. Another 

 new man is Bert Harris, who was with 

 the concern once before and has since 

 held a position in Sacramento. 



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

 is devoting all his spare time to prepa- 

 rations for the holiday season. 



The Misses Hannon, on Sutter street, 

 say that business has picked up since 

 election and that they hope to keep 

 busy during the remainder of the year. 



Among the large jobs recently han- 

 dled by Pelicano, Eossi & Co. was the 

 decoration for the formal opening of 

 Suey Sing Tong's new store in China- 

 town. The proprietors insisted on hav- 

 ing everything on the American plan. 

 Quantities of chrysanthemums were 

 used. 



The first section of the ocean beach 

 esplanade, running from a point just 

 below the Cliff House 1,500 feet south- 

 ward, has been completed at a cost of 

 $75,000, and the improvement has been 

 turned over to John McLaren, superin- 

 tendent of Golden Gate park, for land- 

 scape work. 



W. Wolfskin, of Los Angeles, Cal., 

 was a recent visitor. S. H. G. 



SANTA BARBARA, CAL. 



The Market, 



Winter visitors are already arriving 

 and business is beginning to strengthen. 

 A rather heavy frost November 13 crip- 

 pled a good deal of the outdoor stock. 

 Violets are scarce locally, but some 

 good stock is being shipped in. Chrys- 

 anthemums are mostly coming from out 

 of town, as are all the indoor roses. 

 Local supplies of greens are a little on 

 the short side. 



Various Notes. 



Gleave's Flower Shop reports a large 

 demand for good funeral work. Mr. 

 Gleave is showing a fine line of ferns 

 in great variety, some of the rarer
