The Florists^ Review 



Januabt 29, 1920 



Ferrari Bros, are sending in the cut 

 from a good crop of orchids. 



The offices of Enomoto & Co., on the 

 mezzanine floor of the store at 35 St. 

 Anne street, have been enlarged to dou- 

 ble their former size. Mr. Enomoto re- 

 ports a constantly growing business and 

 is greatly pleased with the progress of 

 the shipping department. This com- 

 pany has a fine supply of daffodils, Chi- 

 nese lilies and freesias on hand for out- 

 of-town orders and a plentiful amount 

 of early acacia. 



E. A. Aldrich, representing the M. 

 Rice Co., Philadelphia, was in San Fran- 

 cisco last week. He was accjcunp^ied 

 by Mrs. Aldrich. ^^ j 



Another eastern visitor/who is calling 

 on the local trade is Robert Newcomb, 

 of the Burlington Willow Ware Shops, 

 Burlington, la. 



J. A. Axell has received an early cut 

 of some splendid Rainbow freesias, 

 originated and grown by K. S. Murray, 

 of Redwood City. Mr. Axell expects the 

 crop to be large enough to take care of 

 his customers within a week or two.

The Market. 



With General John J. Pershing and 

 his staff in Tacoma and Camp Lewis 

 last week, all the florists were kept busy 

 filling orders for cut flowers and flower- 

 ing plants for hall and table decorations. 



Business has been excellent since the 

 beginning of the year. Good roses are 

 in fair supply, with Russell and Ophelia 

 in the lead. There is a strong demand 

 for short-stemmed stock in other varie- 

 ties, as the principal activity is funeral 

 work. Carnations have been off crop 

 since the beginning of the year and 

 there is no oversupply in any variety; 

 prices hold up well. 



A limited amount of bulbous stock is 

 coming in and is readily taken. Freesias 

 are the principal item; they are excel- 

 lent and sell well. A few daffodils and 

 tulips made their appearance last week. 

 Primulas and cyclamens are still the 

 stand-bys and sell well. 



Various Notes. 



A trip to the park department's green- 

 houses, at Point Defiance park, found 

 the houses well stocked with bedding 

 and flowering plants. J. H. Hadkinson, 

 who is in charge, has a house of fine 

 • 8-inch calceolarias coming into flower. 

 The stock in general is all in good shape. 



E. Popp, of Fort Steilacoom, has been 

 in Tacoma to visit his friends of the 

 trade after an illness of several weeks. 



The Smith Floral Co., on Broadway, 

 reports that 1919 was the best year for 

 business it ever had. E. P. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



A decided shortage of stock which 

 prevailed in this market for several 

 weeks has caused prices to maintain a 

 high plane; that is, slightly in advance 

 of the usual range at this time of the 

 year. Dark, cold, snowy weather, hov- 

 ering about the zero mark, cut heavily 

 into production, adding to the general 

 scarcity. A persistent demand helped 

 everybody to clean up well each day.
