The Florists^ Review

of Sacramento, Cal., was in the Bay dis- 

 trict on one of his periodic visits this 

 week. He is pleased over a banner holi- 

 day business and the outlook for the con- 

 tinuation of good times in the capital 

 city. 



Although there is a ready demand for 

 roses and other cut flowers, J. A. Axell, 

 manager of the E. W. McLellan Co., does 

 not find his task altogether agreeable 

 nowadays. Instead of the present short- 

 age and high prices, he would prefer to 

 handle more stock at lower figures. There 

 are not enough flowers to go around and 

 no matter how carefully the distribution 

 is planned, he says, it is impossible to 

 please everyone. 



Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., is 

 shipping violets, but he cannot get 

 enough stock to fill his orders. He also 

 has more orders for roses than he can 

 fill. 



Domoto Bros, are bringing in a nice 

 cut of f reesias and hyacinths, which find 

 a ready demand. 



Louis Picetti, manager of the new 

 store of Charles C. Navlet & Co., in 

 Market street, off First, is more than 

 pleased with initial business. Holiday 

 sales, he says, were far beyond expecta- 

 tions, and the demand for cut flowers, 

 plants, seeds, etc., has held up remark- 

 ably well since. M. M.

 good share of his attention. 



W. J. Pilcher, of Kirkwood, in addi- 

 tion to cutting a splendid lot of Co- 

 lumbia and Russell roses, is sending 

 exceptionally nice calendulas and 

 mignonette to the wholesale market. 



The Mullanphy Florists' downtown 

 store featured special window decora- 

 tions last week, with resulting good 

 business, according to Martin Seeger, 

 manager. 



Werner Bros., rose growers, at Clay- 

 ton, Mo., are sending to this market a 

 fine cut of Lady Stanley roses, which 

 clean up at top prices. 



The C. Young & Sons Co. is enlarging 

 its seed department in preparation for 

 the spring season, which will soon be at

 retail shops last week for the midwin-

 quality of carnations, which have the 

 tall of the buyers.

 Callas and Easter lilies move well. A 

 few sweet peas find their way to the 

 market. Cypripediums and cattleyas do 

 not receive large call. Pink bouvardia 

 clears well. Snapdragon, mignonette 

 and daisies are not plentiful. The sup- 

 ply of greens is equal to the demand, but 

 galax is uncertain. 



In potted plants the supply is on the in- 

 crease and includes good bulbous stock, 

 as well as primulas, begonias, crotons 

 and orange trees.
