The Florists' Review 



jAMAltV 25, 1917. 



At the seed stores extensive prepara- 

 tions are being made for the spring sea- 

 son. Seedsmen look for a good business 

 this year, judging from the interest 

 shown at this early date. 



Various Notes. 



Under tlie supervision of F. J. Ber- 

 trand, of the B. M. Joseph store, a large 

 decoration was carried out at the "Pal- 

 ace hotel a few days ago. It was a 

 Hawaiian affair and a tropical effect 

 was obtained by the use of aquariums, 

 fishes, miniature cocoa palms and 

 dancing girls. Mr. Joseph says busi- 

 ness is reasonably good, notwithstand- 

 ing the scarcity of stock and high 

 prices. 



One day last week Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi used about 200 orchids in funeral 

 work, according to N. L. Baldocchi. 



Harry Hanson, formerly with the Art 

 Floral Oo., has accepted a position with 

 MacRorie & McLaren, as head salesman 

 of their store on I'owell street. Frank 

 H. Forrest, who has been serving in 

 that capacity, is no longer with the 

 company. 



(;. S. Quick, who makes a specialty 

 of growing dahlia novelties at Berkeley, 

 has issued a new catalogue. It lists 

 more than 600 varieties of dahlias, as 

 well as other flowers. 



The California Dahlia Growers' As- 

 sociation is preparing to send out the 

 premium list for the second annual 

 show, which will be held in the Palace 

 hotel ballroom, September -T to .'5. The 

 list will be ready in time for exhibitors 

 to start plants for any entry they may 

 choose. Getting the i)reniium list out 

 early this spring will also give the ad- 

 vertisements in the schedule longer life. 

 Additional space has been obtained for 

 the 1917 display and no effort will be 

 spared to make the exhibition a signal 

 success. A special table will be re 

 served for showing flowers frOm the 

 dahlia trial gardens, which will bo lo- 

 cated at San Rafael, under the auspices 

 of the association. The January bul- 

 letin of the association contains much 

 information of interest to dahlia grow 

 ers. 



Joseph Proietti, who handles the daf 

 fodil cut of several places near San 

 Leandro, says there will be a big crop 

 as soon as the weather nio<lerates. 



F. ('. Burns, dahlia s|)ecialist of San 

 Rafiii'l, Tal., has issued a new cata- 

 logue of dahlias. "The Pride of the 

 CJarden." He docs not list a large col- 

 lection, but d(>\()tes ]\articular alten 

 tion. he says, to sncli varieties as have 

 been selected foi- their superioritv in 

 rolor, perfection of form, length ' ami 

 stiffness of stem, continuous blooming, 

 etc. Half page illustrations are given 

 the varieties known as Tom Lundv, 

 Geisha, Wodaii. Henry Maier, Mrs. T. 

 A. Munro, Alaska, Gharmiiister and 

 George Walters. 



J. A. Axell savs that the F. W. M- Ld 

 Ian Go. h;is a fine mt of Russell r'ises 

 and about a normal cut of other varie- 

 ties. 



r. Kooyinan is congratulating iiini 

 self on having a fine cut of roses while 

 they are scarce and high. 



T. Mosco reports a good <lemand for 

 bulbous jdaiits, with liyacintlis the priu- 

 (•ipnl feature .'ind tulips next. 



Frank Pelicano is expecting a visit 

 from Arnold Ringier. of the W. W. 

 Hariiard Co., Cliica<r().

This new class of minUture roses is Kaining won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so. Their 

 excetding freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any other bedding: or border plant Their 

 possibilities are worth your attention and consideration. 



A Few of the Best: 



Echo 



Phyllis 



Ema Teschendorff 



Jessie 



Orleans Mrs. Taft 



Ellen Poulsen Jeanne d'Arc 



Baby Dorothy Maman Turbat 



Baby Elegance Geo. Elger 



BABY DOLL 



The most rapturously and sttikingly beautiful little 

 rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and 

 startling in its biilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with 

 clear cerise. The little buds and open fluweis are ele- 

 gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the 

 very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is 

 remarkable and continuous throuKh"ut 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 

 Hybiid Teas.
