The Florists^ Review 



June 26. 1919. 



business is good for the month of June. 

 Some of the blue hydrangeas grown by 

 Frank Burns, of San Eafael, formed a 

 striking window display in this store, 

 combined with a huge sheaf of Halley 

 gladioli. A few good potted specimens 

 of red ramblers were also obtained by 

 this firm for special decoration work. 



C. Kooyman keeps busy and is clean- 

 ing up his stock nicely each day. In 

 spite of the short condition of the cut 

 flower market, he states that he is well 

 pleased with the month's business so 

 far. 



Domoto Bros, are expecting the first 

 cutting of asters within the next two 

 weeks. 



Henry Avansino, the new manager of 

 the E. W. McLellan Co., was busy with 

 a number of out-of-town shipments last 

 week. He is completely cleaned up on 

 stock of all kinds. This firm is expect- 

 ing a fine stock of asters and chrysan- 

 themums this season and anticipates 

 strong demand for them. 



A particularly fine pansy display in 

 the windows of Podesta & Baldocchi's 

 store on Grant avenue attracted much 

 favorable comment last week. Blooms in 

 profusion were massed in several low 

 baskets, the color notes being skillfully 

 brought out by a background of Irish 

 Elegance buds and single lavender 

 seabiosa. This concern furnished the 

 pall for the Greenebaum funeral. It 

 was made of orchids, rhododendrons and 

 baby roses, producing an unusually beau- 

 tiful effect. Mr. Podesta has no com- 

 plaint to make concerning business, be- 

 ing well satisfied with the general con- 

 dition of the market, with the exception 

 of the scarcity of stock. 



Mrs. Copeland's store, on Sutter 

 street, has been kept busy with nu- 

 merous wedding orders and is using all 

 available stock. With great difficulty 

 Mrs. Copeland succeeded in obtaining 

 enough American Beauties to furnish 

 large wreath for the Greenebaum fu- 

 neral, in addition to many other smaller 

 orders from the same source. 



The pall for the funeral of Mrs. 

 Charles Coleman, wife of the manager 

 of the St. Francis hotel, was furnished 

 by Julius Eppstein. 



The Art Floral Co. is decorating for 

 a number of weddings this week, and 

 Mr. Matraia states that it has been dif- 

 ficult to get enough stock to fill the 

 orders. 



Three of the members of the MacRo- 

 rie-McLaren Co. force are on vacations. 

 J. Armstrong and Joseph Thomas are 

 enjoying a motor trip to Lake Tahoe, 

 and George Duffy is visting at Petaluma. 



George Moore has left the employ of 

 F. C. Jaeger & Son, Powell street flo- 

 rists. 



Charles Stappenbeck, proprietor of the 

 American Florist store, on Polk street, 

 is enjoying a vacation of a couple of 

 weeks. 



Robert Newcomb, representing the 

 Burlington "Willow Ware Shops, of Bur- 

 lington, la., visited the trade last week. 



Earl Aldrich, of the M. Rice Co., of 

 Philadelphia, has been spending some 

 time on the coast, and it is understood 

 that he will open a western distributing 

 point in San Francisco in the near fu- 

 ture. He is on his way back to Phila- 

 delphia now, but is expected back again 

 within thirty days, in connection with 

 the opening of the new depot. 



F. Lichtenberg, retail florist, of Los 

 Angeles, Cal., was a San Francisco visi- 

 tor last week. M. M.
