The Florists^ Review 



August 14, 1919. 



Mention The RcTlew when yon write. 



stock in local depots is rather low for 

 the time of year, although a number of 

 the choicer varieties are now in bloom 

 and bring good prices. 



Orchids are practically off crop* and 

 only a few blooms are available. The 

 retail shops are selling single orchids 

 for $1.50; the customers are glad to get 

 them at any price. Gardenias, too, are 

 hard to obtain, but both orchids and 

 gardenias will begin to be more plenti- 

 ful after September 1. 



Various Notes. 



Louis Picetti, manager of the Market 

 street store of the Chas. Navlet Co., re- 

 ports a fine beginning on domestic bulb 

 sales. This firm had on display last 

 week a large stock of freesia, tulip, 

 daffodil and narcissus bulbs. Mr. Pi- 

 cetti says that the buying is brisk by 

 out-of-town growers who anticipate a 

 scarcity of bulbs later in the season. 



H. E. Hallawell has not returned from 

 his vacation trip. He expects to be 

 back soon, however, and Mrs. Hallawell, 

 who takes charge of affairs in her hus- 

 band's absence, states that they are 

 preparing for an unusually large bulb 

 season and are getting the domestic 

 stock in readiness. She expects the 

 first shipment of Holland bulbs soon 

 after October 1. Quantities of peren- 

 nial seeds are being sold now, as the 

 season is well started. 



Henry Avansino, manager of the E. 

 W. McLellan Co., states that the firm 

 is shipping quantities of asters and some 

 chrysanthemums, although the last men- 

 tioned are not in good crop yet. This 

 company is getting $3 per bunch for 

 good asters, each bunch containing ten 

 dozen. Mr. Avansino says that there 

 are about 25,000 freesia bulbs left and 

 he expects to clean up on these in a 

 short tim'\ 



White, pink and yellow chrysanthe- 

 mums are received daily by the United 

 Flower & Supply Co. and are sold at 

 $1.50 per dozen. The growers are send- 

 ing in plenty of asters now, which sell 

 at from 25 to 35 cents per dozen. Ship- 

 ping business, the management states, is 

 improving steadily. 



A large stock of aspidistra plants 

 was seen at the store of Domoto Bros, 

 the early part of the week. This firm 

 has also started aster shipments. 



Enomoto & Co. are shipping fine as- 

 ters. Mr. Enomoto is well pleased with 

 the crop this year. 



C. Kooyman is rushed these days at 

 tending to his large bulb stock. The 

 domestic stock is in splendid condition, 

 Mr. Kooyman says. A fine stock of 

 early cyclamen plants, white and deep 

 red, was displayed in Mr. Kooyman 's 

 windows last week, some of the first 

 of the fall season.
