The Florists' Review 



Jolt 31, 1919. 



wholesalers are asking from 75 cents 

 to $1.50 per dozen for the varieties now 

 in the market. 



Dahlias are more plentiful, but with 

 the exception of an occasional cutting of 

 the choicer varieties, the flowers are of 

 indifferent quality. 



Carnations are plentiful, with the end 

 of the season drawing near, the best 

 blooms bringing around 60 cents a 

 bunch. The average prices on carna- 

 tions, however, are somewhat lower. 



Of roses, good Ophelias run from the 

 short grade up to $1.75 per bunch for 

 the better quality, while Eussells on the 

 same scale bring as high as $2 per 

 dozen. The top price for red roses is 

 $2 per bunch and Wards are selling up 

 to $1 per bunch. 



Orchids and gardenias are difficult to 

 obtain and are high in price. Gardenias 

 are running toward small blooms at 

 present. 



Scabiosas, in many variegated shades, 

 are arriving in large cuttings and are 

 making a good showing in the retail dis- 

 plays. Among the seasonable common 

 flowers are the French and African mar- 

 igolds, snapdragons, gaillardias, both 

 double and single, and sweet sultan. 



Various Notes. 



The workmen of C. Kooyman & Co. 

 have been occupied with bulb digging. 

 Mr. Kooyman states that if advance 

 orders are any indication of the amount 

 of business on the way, the coming sea- 

 son will be a busy one. Bulbs are in 

 fine shape, he says, and he thinks the 

 stock will be large enough this year for 

 the demand. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. has had a 

 generous cutting of long-stemmed, large 

 asters in lavender, purple, rose and 

 white. These asters were in excellent 

 shipping condition and Henry Avansino 

 has started filling out-of-town orders. 



Some fine early chrysanthemums, 

 white, yellow and pink, have been sold 

 by the United Flower & Supply Co. The 

 company's aster crop is well on the way 

 toward maturity. 



Domoto Bros, report that chrysanthe- 

 mums are in fine bud now. 



A new drying room for strawflowers 

 is being installed by Enomoto & Co., 35 

 St. Anne street, and it is the intention 

 of the firm to lay in a large supply of 

 stock of this character for the coming 

 winter season. 



A particularly fine cutting of Niagara 

 gladioli was seen at Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co.'s last week. F. D. Pelicano is also 

 bringing in some good dahlias and is 

 heading the list at present with blue 

 hydrangea stock. 



Victor Podesta, of Podesta & Baldoc- 

 chi, is enjoying a motoring trip through 

 the state. He expects to remain away 

 for several weeks. 



J. B. Avansino, of Avansino Bros., 

 Geary street, has returned from an out- 

 ing of more than two weeks. One of 

 the members of his force, Jack Lavaz- 

 zola, left for his vacation upon Mr. 

 Avansino 's return. He will take about 

 two weeks. 



Robert Bernedcaux, of Joseph's staff, 

 took excellent advantage of his vacation 

 period, for he returned to his duties in 

 the Grant avenue store a happy bene- 

 dict. The bride was Miss Louise Du- 

 sold, of San Francisco. The wedding 

 journey included a week's stay at Del 

 Monte. 



A rare assortment of several varieties 

 of tuberous-rooted begonias attracted
