The Florists' Review 



January 1, 1920. 



He expected to clean up on this stock 

 by the end of the holidays. 



C. M. Leopold, of Santa Eosa, Cal., 

 was a visitor in San Francisco during 

 the latter part of last week. M. M.

The Market. 



At Christmas-time local roses were 

 scarce, the balance coming from Cali- 

 fornia. Local roses brought from $5 to 

 $9 per dozen. Chrysanthemums, such 

 as Chadwick, Golden Chadwick, Maud 

 Dean and Marigold, sold at from $5 to 

 $10 per dozen; they were of high qual- 

 ity. Sweet peas, bouvardia, baby roses, 

 mignonette and forget-me-nots were 

 also available. Cyclamens sold at from 

 $2.50 to $6. 



Various Notes. 



During the week before Christmas, 

 the Hollywood Gardens had a display 

 of dwarf orange trees, which each held 

 from six to eight specimens of the fruit. 



Rosaia Bros, recently had a fine dis- 

 ply of poinsettias. 



The Woodlawn Flower Shop displayed 

 some stylish Christmas baskets of ruscus, 

 thistles, Diana grass, and other prepared 

 decorating grasses; it had fine cycla- 

 mens and poinsettias. This store also 

 had a display window showing the in- 

 terior of a bungalow, with a fireside 

 scene. 



Felix Rosaia had a fine showing of 

 cyclamens and poinsettias. 



Mr. Hawkins, who left this city last 

 winter to live in California, has re- 

 turned, having decided that the sudden 

 change from cold to warm is harmful 

 to both the flower business and himself. 

 He is at present with Rosaia Bros., but 

 expects soon to return to the greenhouse 

 business. 



The Kenney Flower Shop opened De- 

 cember 22 with Mr. Goldsberry, former- 

 ly with Rosaia Bros., as manager. 



Gus Burkman went to Butte, Mont., 

 last spring, but 40 degrees below zero 

 chased him back to his home city. He 

 is now with Rosaia Bros. P. T. C.

The Market. 



The Christmas trade was in every 

 way satisfactory. Monday, Tuesday 

 and Wednesday before the holiday, the 

 stores were well filled with buyers all 

 day and a large amount of business was 

 done. Roses were in good condition 

 and sold well in all grades, the supply 

 being plentiful. There were a few good 

 chrysanthemums, which were picked up 

 early in the week. Poinsettias were 

 especially fine this Christmas and, al- 

 though there was a good supply, there 

 was a strong run on these Christmas 

 flowers, which cleaned them up in fine 

 shape, and good prices were obtained. 

 Carnations were excellent, with a good 

 supply of all colors but red, which did 

 not hold out to fill orders. Stevia and 

 yellow and white narcissi sold well in 

 combination bouquets. Cecile Brun- 

 ners, cattleyas, valley and double and 

 single violets were used effectively in 

 corsage work. 



Holly was especially fine, with none 

 on the market after Tuesday. Holly 

 wreaths sold well and many more could 

 have been sold had the stock been ob- 

 tainable. English holly was extra fine

this year, well berried, with large, dark 

 green foliage; it made beautiful deco- 

 rations, which sold readily at good 

 prices. Lycopodium and boxwood 

 wreaths were in great demand. Potted 

 plants sold well, with the price a little 

 higher than in other years. Poinsettias 

 in pans and baskets were picked up 

 quickly. Cyclamens, ericas, begonias, 

 primulas, cinerarias and solanums com- 

 plete the list of flowering plants. Smi- 

 lax and greens were in plentiful supply. 

 Artificial baskets made up in Christmas 

 colors sold well and filled a gap caused 

 by the shortage of flowering plants.
