The Florists^ Review 



Septbmbbb 18. 1910. 



Ophelias are more or less plentiful this 

 week and are selling for the same 

 amount as before. The aster crop is 

 about over. Wholesalers are receiving 

 $1.50 per ten dozen for the best asters, 

 but these will be cleaned out in a short 

 time. The new carnation crop is in its 

 infancy, and the best blooms are costing 

 the retail florist 75 cents per bunch of 

 two dozen. 



Cut cyclamens are in strong demand, 

 taking the place of gardenias and or- 

 chids in corsage work. The quality of 

 cyclamens will improve, but this week 

 they are sold for $1 per six dozen. 

 There is still a scarcity of gardenias 

 and orchids. Violets are beginning to 

 come in, but they are high-priced and 

 not at all plentiful. One or two retail 

 shops had some of the double variety, 

 and although costly they always are 

 readily sold. 



Outdoor blooms are in normally good 

 condition. While these hardier varie- 

 ties are plentiful, the prices are keep- 

 ing up to a fair average. 



Dahlia Society Show. 



The important event of the week wa^ 

 the annual show of the Dahlia Society 

 of California, which was held in one of 

 the ballrooms of the Palace hotel. In 

 point of attendance, it was stated by 

 Manager Angelo J. Rossi that the show 

 was one of the largest and most success- 

 ful ever held. It was the verdict of the 

 visitors that the exhibition excelled all 

 previous ones in rarity of blooms and 

 glory of color. Over 1,500 varieties 

 were shown in various artistic arrange- 

 ments, and twenty-five new varieties, 

 all originated here in California, made 

 their appearance this year. A fine dis- 

 play of Dr. Tevis blooms was the center 

 of attraction and won for Frank Peli- 

 cano, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., first 

 prize for the best general display. Mrs. 

 R. R. Strange, of Burlingame, won three 

 firsts, having the best exhibit by a 

 private gardener, most artistic single
