The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEU 4, 1917. 



his extended trip he visited the Ha- 

 waiian islands and China. 



Fred W. Tredup, representing the A. 

 L. Bandall Co., arrived a few days ago, 

 and from here will proceed to southern 

 California. He is accompanied by Mrs. 

 Tredup. Judging from Mr. Tredup 's 

 observations, the florists throughout the 

 west and middle west are looking for- 

 ward to a splendid business this fall and 

 winter. 



G. C. Eoeding, president of the Fan- 

 cher Creek Nurseries Co., Fresno, Cal., 

 has been visiting in San Francisco. 



Miss Bertha Cohn, of the Bellevue 

 Florists, says she and her partner. Miss 

 Eothschild, have been busy with fu- 

 neral work, hotel decorations and coun- 

 ter trade. They notice a marked im- 

 provement in transient sales. 



J. Onishi, of the United Flower & 

 Supply Co., is well pleased with the 

 brisk demand for chrysanthemums, both 

 for local use and shipping purposes. 



Joseph Lagomarsino, one of the lead- 

 ing violet growers supplying this mar- 

 ket, is bringing in large consignments, 

 principally of Princess. He will soon 

 start cutting Marie Louise. ' ' 



It is understood that the Western 

 Evergreen Co., at 380 Bush street, and 

 the firm of Pedrini & Filipelli, which 

 was engaged in a similar business at 

 453 Bush street, have consolidated. 



B. M. Joseph closed his doors from 

 2:30 to 4 o'clock September 28 in honor 

 of the drafted men leaving for traitiing 

 camps. Charles McAullife, of Joseph's, 

 was among the departing ones. He is 

 the fifth in his family to serve his coun- 

 try, four brothers having enlisted prior 

 to his being drafted. 



Henry Avansino, of Avansino Bros., 

 has no complaints to make about busi- 

 ness, as the demand for flowers is all 

 that can be desired. 



The California Floral Co. has been 

 having success with basket arrailge- 

 ments of 'flowers for home decorations.

The Market. 



-if-'&'X''' 



Market conditions remain practically 

 uncha^nged. A hard, killing frost would 

 do more good for the market right now 

 than any other one thing. Such a frost 

 usually comes about September^ 20, so it 

 is far overdue by this time. 



Carnations continue to improve, bet- 

 ter stems and better blooms being the 

 rule with most growers. The supply, 

 however, is still somewhat limited. 

 Roses, particularly in the short grades, 

 are excessively abundant ajiA; hard to 

 move at any price. Funeral ^f^Ofk^- has 

 not been plentiful of late, so many 

 blooms are regularly finding their way 

 to the dump. 



Various Notes. 



Boilers were placed in the new green- 

 houses of the H. Ij. Olsson Co. last week. 

 It will be another ten days or two weeks 

 before the houses will be ready to wel- 

 come cold weather. Considerable diflS- 

 culty was encountered in excavating 

 the boiler pit, this delaying the comple- 

 tion by fully two weeks. 



Pasquale Garguilo has been keeping 

 the market well supplied with cut 

 greens and expects to have a full crop 

 of roses this month. While his place is 

 not a large one, he produces some of 

 the best roses in the market, and gener-
