The Florists^ Review 



JuNB 12, 1919. 



over, none of tlie dealers reporting much 

 activity in this end of the business. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Domoto, of Domoto Bros., states 

 that with the exception of some excel- 

 lent cuttings of gladioli, stock is of 

 lower quality than last week, but, tak- 

 ing into consideration the season of the 

 year, business holds up well. 



A change in the management of the 

 ^i. W. McLellan Co. took place June 1, 

 55vhen J. A. Axell severed his connec- 

 tion with the firm. H. A. Avansino, of 

 the retail firm of Avansino Bros., is now 

 in charge at McLellan 's and has added 

 an assistant in the retail shop, which 

 will be conducted as in the past. The 

 same force is retained at McLellan 's. 



Mr. Axell and F. D. Pelicano, of Peli- 

 cano, Rossi & Co., are enjoying a vaca- 

 tion at the springs in Mendocino county, 

 and it is understood that when Mr. Axell 

 returns he will engage in the shipping 

 business for himself. 



Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., re- 

 ports a splendid clean-up on Memorial 

 day business and is well satisfied with 

 present conditions. Carnations and 

 peonies were plentiful and of good qual- 

 ity at his store last week, but he stated 

 that roses, especially American Beau- 

 ties, were not up to standard. 



C. Kooyman reports fair business last 

 week, with plenty of stock at his dis- 

 posal. He remarked that he expected 

 to have a large quantity of bulbs of all 

 sorts this year, and has a stock of Paper 

 White narcissi on hand in splendid 

 condition, and a good selection of 

 Chinese lilies. 



Shellgrain & Bitter, retail florists, are 

 enjoying a good decorating business, 

 weddings and social affairs demanding 

 a considerable amount of cut flowers. 



One of the growers from the vicinity 

 of Portland, Ore., Mr. Pendleton, was 

 a recent visitor in San Francisco. Mr. 

 Pendleton spoke enthusiastically of gen- 

 eral business conditions in the north 

 and stated that he was well pleased 

 with results in his own particular line. 



Several local florists are taking ad- 

 vantage of the lull in business to lay 

 plans for vacation trips. Several have 

 announced their intention of leaving for 

 the seashore or mountains during June 

 and July. Among the first to go is A. J. 

 Eossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., who is 

 spending a few weeks in the Yosemite 

 valley. Mr. and Mrs. John Bianchini, 

 of Joseph 's staff, expect to leave within 

 a few days for one of the California re- 

 sorts, to be away for about two weeks. 



The force at the store of B. M. Joseph 

 is keeping busy with numerous wed- 

 dings and has decorated numbers of 

 luncheons and dinner parties at the 

 various country clubs, which are the 

 scene of most of the present social 

 affairs. The entertainments for June 

 brides are on a far more lavish scale this 

 year than during the war, and business 

 of this sort will keep the local stores 

 more occupied than usual. Small atten- 

 tion is paid to economical features of 

 decorating, and some exquisite floral 

 decorations are the result of loosened 

 purse strings. Joseph's displayed some 

 of the early dahlias this week, a huge 

 basket of the Sunset variety occupying 

 a place of honor in the windows. 



Herman Warendorff, of New York 

 city, was visiting in San Francisco last 

 week. 



Podesta & Baldocchi are well satisfied 

 with business conditions. Mr. Podesta 

 says that funeral work is plentiful and
