The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBEB 28, 1918. 



conducive to good business in the flo- 

 rists' line. A yellow celosia plant, 

 standing over six feet high, in the win- 

 dow of Pelicano, Bossi & Co. 's store, has 

 attracted much attention. 



Until the will of the late Mrs. Mary 

 D. Boland, proprietor of the florists' 

 store in Kearny street bearing the 

 name of her late husband, J. B. Boland, 

 is probated, the business will be con- 

 tinued as usual under the management 

 of Charles Shellgrain. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, Cal., who 

 in normal times makes frequent trips 

 to San Francisco, paid his respects to 

 the trade this week, after an absence of 

 over a month, which he explained by 

 the announcement that he had been too 

 rushed with funeral work to get away. 

 Seeing that he had lost ten pounds in 

 weight since his last visit, his friends 

 here accepted his explanation without 

 comment, in view of the fact that some 

 of them also tip the scales several 

 pounds lighter as the result of the hard 

 work of the last month, notably J. A. 

 Axell, manager of the E. W. McLellan 

 Co. Mr. Ebel says his force not only 

 had all the work it could handle locally 

 during the influenza epidemic, but was 

 called upon to ship quantities of flowers 

 to outside points, which kept it on the 

 job from early morning till 12 and 2 

 o'clock at night. He considers pros- 

 pects excellent for good business with 

 the return of peace. One of the most 

 gratifying features in his estimation is 

 that people generally are prosperous 

 and not inclined to haggle over prices. 



J. A. Axell, of the E. W. McLellan 

 Co., reports stock clearing up daily and 

 holiday orders for roses accumulating, 

 especially for Eussells and American 

 Beauties. He is also shipping a good 

 many violets. 



Domoto Bros, have a nice cut of roses 

 for Thanksgiving. 



The rain stopped chrysanthemum ship- 

 ments to distant points for a few days, 

 but the United Flower & Supply Co. 

 continued to fill orders to Sacramento, 

 Stockton and other California cities 

 without interruption. This firm is send- 

 ing out a good many roses now and vio- 

 let orders are on the increase. 



Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., has 

 no complaints to make about business, 

 A8 shipping orders continue brisk and 

 the local demand leaves nothing to be 

 desired. 



C. Kooyman considers the outlook for 

 Thanksgiving business unusually good, 

 and is also looking forward to a banner 

 December trade. M. M.
