The Florists^ Review 



Septembeu 20, 1917. 



SAN FBANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 70.1 



having been extensively entertained by- 

 Samuel Murrav, of Kansas City. 



J. Varsi has sold his retail business 

 at Reno, Xev., which he conducted dur- 

 ing the last two and a half years, and is 

 in San Francisco on a vacation, prior 

 to deciding on future plans. G. Eossi 

 & Co., of this citv, were the purchasers. 



The firm of J. B. Boland contem- 

 plated moving to a new location this 

 fall, but was unable to get the location 

 desired and so has made arrangements to 

 continue in the present quarters on 

 Kearny street until next July, when 

 the other place will be available. Man- 

 ager Charles Shellgrain reports business 

 well up to normal. 



Peter Ferrari is bringing in some fine 



Eussell roses. 



The E W. McLellan Co. is beginning 

 to cut new-crop Cecile Bruniier roses, 

 which is earlier than usual. The man- 

 agement hopes to have a fine crop tor 

 Thanksgiving. Several large orders of 

 chrvsauthemums were forwarded by 

 this concern last week, which marked 

 the beginning of the long-distance ship- 

 ping season. 



Albert O. Stein, who operates the 

 stand in the Palace hotel in conjunction 

 with his large establishment on Sutter 

 street, reports many table decorations 



at the hotel. . , -.^, * 



W Onishi, of the United Flower & 

 Supplv Co., calls attention to a shortage 

 of box shooks here, which makes it 

 rather difficult to get orders filled. 

 Prices are higher than usual. He re- 

 ports the chrysanthemum season start- 

 ing off encouragingly. The early vari- 

 eties have sold well locally and now 

 good orders are coming in for long-dis- 

 tance shipments. 



Golden Gate Florist is the name over 

 a new store just opened on O'Farrell 

 street, near Powell street It is under 

 the management of Miss Julia Broberg, 

 recently from New York state. The 

 store is small, but every foot of space 

 is used to advantage. The lower part 

 of the walls is a lavonder gray, while 

 the drop ceiling is cream-colored, and 

 the same color scheme is effectively car- 

 ried out in the fixtures. 



A. Cooper, of the Joseph force, spent 

 the week end in Sacramento, taking a 

 prominent part in the Native Sons 

 celebration. He says the florists of the 

 capital city were called upon to deco- 

 rate a number of the floats, which fur- 

 nished an outlet for many flowers. 



Avansino Bros, continue to feature 

 Babv Doll roses with good success, ac- 

 cording to Henrv Avansino. 



Hassard, the Florist, of Oakland, 

 maintained an attractive booth at the 

 recent exhibition given at Neptune 

 beach, under the auspices of the Oak- 

 land Chamber of Commerce manutac- 

 turers ' committee. 



Joseph A. Borirard has brought a,n 

 injunction suit against the Catalytic 

 Chemical Co., which operates a factory 

 for the manufacture of dyes and dye- 

 stuffs at Third street and Bancroft way, 

 Berkelev. The fumes from the factory 

 destroy" the plants and flowers at his 

 nurserv near-by. 



G. E. Terrill, of Lethbridge, Alberta, 

 was* in San Francisco recently on his 

 return from the east, via Los Angeles. 

 He sailed from here to Portland, Ore., 

 expecting to visit other points as ho 

 proceeded homeward. S. H. Q.
