The Florists' Review

The Flower Shortage is Oyer 



Our growers are cutting heavily on Roses and 

 more reasonable prices prevail. We have 

 plenty of other seasonable Flow^ers.

usual amount of funeral work has re- 

 sulted in a strong demand for them from 

 all over the country. 



With the exception of the crops of 

 one or two growers in this vicinity, the 

 rose supply is considerably smaller than 

 the demand. A few of the nurseries 

 are cutting from the second crop now, 

 but most of the growers will be obliged 

 to wait another week before their roses 

 are ready. In the meantime the price 

 remains high, with a big call for roses 

 both in San Francisco and from out-of- 

 town customers. 



Daffodils are scarcer and higher. The 

 first crop is nearing the end and it is 

 expected that the quantity will be 

 slightly less than the demand until the 

 next crop is ready for cutting. 



Almond blossoms, both pink and 

 white, now occupy a position of prom- 

 inence in the retail shops, which report 

 a ready sale for stock of this kind. A 

 few of the rarer flowering shrubs and 

 fruit trees have made their appearance 

 also, but most of the blossom stock is 

 still gathered from the almond trees. 

 Acacia blooms have been particularly 

 fine this year and have been extensively 

 shipped with good results. 



The demand for Oregon grape foliage 

 is big tliis season and the distributors 

 of this stock clean out each shipment in 

 short order. 



Orchids are still fairly plentiful, but 

 retailers state that they are selling a 

 satisfactory number of the blooms at 

 $1.50 each." The only new arrivals on 

 the market last week were a number of 

 potted camellia bushes in various colors, 

 white, pink, deep rose and variegated. 



Various Notes. 



A new florists' shop has been opened 

 at 1237 Polk street, between Sutter and 

 Bush streets, by M. L. Bartev, who also 

 operates a shop at 1757 Fillmore street. 

 Mr. Bartev makes a specialty of wed- 

 ding and table decorations and intends 

 carrying a comprehensive stock of pot- 

 ted plants, ferns and hanging baskets. 

 The new shop opened with an attractive 

 window display of cut flowers and fruit 

 baskets. The workrooms are conven- 

 iently arranged in the rear of the 

 store. There is also a basement, where 

 Mr. Bartev intends to make his own 

 reed baskets, etc. 



Mrs. Copeland has been busy with 

 table and funeral work and reports a 

 big demand recently for bon voyage 

 baskets developed in her own original 

 manner.
