The Florists^ Review 



NOTEMBBB 21. 1918. 



Various Notes. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing in 

 a fine cut of Eussell, Ophelia and Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses; in fact, it is the best 

 stock they have ever grown, which is 

 saying a great deal, considering the well 

 founded reputation of this concern as 

 expert rose growers. In addition to 

 roses the McLellan Co. is shipping a 

 good many violets and greens. George 

 Scatena, who has had charge of the 

 packing at the establishment on Bush 

 street for eight years, is no longer in 

 the employ of the company. 



C. Kooyman, of the C. Kooyman Co., 

 Inc., has the sympathy of the trade on 

 account of the death of a brother in 

 Canada a few days ago from influenza, 

 at the age of 28 years. Mr. Kooyman 

 reports business holding up well, with 

 favorable indications for holiday trade. 



Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., Inc., 

 is still shipping a good many mums and 

 pompons, but principal attention is now 

 diverted to violets. 



K. Kimura, of the United Flower & 

 Supply Co., Inc., considers the violet 

 outlook excellent. His firm has con- 

 tracted with growers for quantities of 

 violets, and intends to ship them on an 

 extensive scale this year. Mr, Kimura 

 expects to have a fine lot of potted poin- 

 settias and cyclamens for Thanksgiving. 



Fred Bertrand has returned to the 

 florists ' business after doing guard duty 

 at one of the large Bay shipbuilding 

 plants for several months. He has taken 

 a position with Podesta & Baldocchi, 

 across the street from B. M. Joseph, 

 where he was manager for several years. 

 Mr. Podesta says the demand for flowers 

 has taken on new life since the war 

 ended. He looks for a period of great 

 prosperity for San Francisco in the com- 

 ing months. 



Henry Avansino, of Avansino Bros., 

 says the return to normal in funeral 

 work is welcome, after the rush of the 

 last few weeks, during which his firm 

 could not cope with the demands made 

 upon it. 



A. Cuneo, buyer for B. M. Joseph, is 

 back on duty after an enforced absence 

 on account of illness. He has no com- 

 plaints to make about business, al- 

 though he admits his force is not so 

 busy as some time ago. 



Friends of Peter Ferrari are pleased 

 to learn that he is recovering from in- 

 fluenza and expects to leave the hospital 

 by the end of the week. 



Frank Pelicano, of Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co., is bringing in some fine heather. 



Miss Bertha Cohn, with F. C. >Jaeger 

 & Son, on Powell street, is on the sick 

 list, but is expected back at the store 

 shortly. Mr. Jaeger says October was 

 ar'tanner mbnth for his firm, and that 

 November, with the rush of funeral 

 work early in the month and Thanks- 

 giving toward thfe end, probably will be 

 as good. 



When visited this week, P. V. Ma- 

 traia, of the Art Floral Co., was "too 

 busy to talk." 



During the influenza epidemic, Albert 

 O. Stein's Cadillac delivery car was at 

 the disposal of the Bed Cross in han- 

 dling emergency cases. Before being 

 purchased by Mr. Stein, this auto did 

 service as an ambulance at the Pan- 

 ama-Pacific International Exposition 

 grounds. 



Walter Hoflf, of the MacRorie-Mc- 

 Laren Co., has been confined to his home 

 for several days with rheumatism. At 

 the store business is reported fairly

There is an abundance of mums at 

 present, both local and California. They 

 are of excellent quality, also, and bring 

 a good price. Roses, carnations, gar- 

 denias and orchids are also plentiful 

 and the demand is equal to production. 

 There are good cyclamen and Primula 

 obconica also to be had.

ban which closed all retail stores before 

 10 a. m. and after 3 p. m. and all day 

 Saturday and Sunday. These restric- 

 tions worked a hardship, coming as they 

 did at a time when all the florists were 

 besieged with orders for funeral work. 

 Now that the florists are working on the 

 ordinary schedule, they say that they 

 are going to make up for lost time, as 

 the demand is practically the same as 

 before the ban went into effect.

 winter with friends.
