The Florists' Review 



OCTOBKR 2, 1919. 



She expects conditions to be much im- 

 proved within the next two or three 

 weeks. Mrs. Darbee is anticipating a 

 splendid crop of violets from her own 

 fields, and as she has more than twice 

 the stock this season that she had last, 

 she is assured of a dependable supply 

 for shipping which will hd ready about 

 the middle of October. 



J. Dieterich, of Los Angeles, was in 

 San Francisco last week, calling on the 

 local trade. 



Conrad Klam, Olympia, Wash., was 

 another visitor in this city. The Santa 

 Barbara trade was represented here 

 last week by a call from Arthur Gleave. 



Mrs. Copeland, Sutter street, reports 

 a large shipping business in oriental 

 pods, which she is sending to various 

 parts of the country. This shop, as 

 well as other retail establishments, was 

 exceptionally busy last week with or- 

 ders for the Jewish holidays. 



The Booth-Bates wedding, held the 

 early part of the week, was decorated by 

 A. O. Stein. It was a home affair and 

 chrysanthemums, delphiniums and gla- 

 dioli were used profusely. The shower 

 bouquets were fans of orchids and gar- 

 denias. Another home wedding is be- 

 ing decorated by this firm this week. 

 Mr. Stein has just completed the pur- 

 chase of a handsome new home on Six- 

 teenth avenue, in the Sunset district. 

 The Stein force was recently enlarged 

 by the addition of Henry Hefty, for- 

 merly of Portland, Ore, Norman Marcus 

 has returned from a vacation spent in 

 the southern part of the state. 



A dahlia show was held at the Oak- 

 land hotel, Oakland, Gal., for three days 

 beginning September 28, under the aus- 

 pices of the Alameda County Tloral 

 Society. This was the first annual 

 event of its kind to be held in that city. 

 A number of professional growers from 

 both sides of the bay participated. A 

 freak dahlia bush grown by J. J. Mur- 

 phy, 606 Santa Clara avenue, Alameda, 

 Cal., containing three blooms of differ- 

 ent colors growing from a single branch, 

 was exhibited at the show. One of the 

 blooms was a deep orange shade, the 

 second a bright cerise hue, while the 

 third is developing into a rich carmine 

 shade. M. M.

The Market. 



If business during the last two weeks 

 of Sei)teml)er is any indication of the 

 fall trade, there will be no room for 

 complaint, at least so far as the demand 

 is concerned. 



There is an ado(|uate supply of stock 

 in tlic market. Roses are fairlv ])lcnti- 

 ful, including Ophelia, RussV'll and 

 Cecile Brunnor. 



The weather for the last month has 

 been ideal, and stock in and around 

 Tacoma is looking well. 



Various Notes. 



At the range of the Acme Floral Co., 

 on East Fiftieth street, both bench and 

 pot stock looks well. The firm is cutting 

 good Ophelia, Cecile Brunner and White 

 Killarney. A bench of 6-incli and 8- 

 inch cyclamens, as well as a house of 4- 

 inch and 5-inch, is in a healthy condi- 

 tion, ready for a shift. Mr. Simpson 

 says he will plant more peonies and 

 discontinue growing asters and gladioli 

 next year. 



At L. F. Tschunko's range, on Pacific 

 avenue, the prospect of a large cut of 

 mums and carnations is good.
