The Florists' Review 



May 6. 1920 



which makes him the proud father of a 

 boy and a girl, Mr. Baldocchi has just 

 received his new Pierce-Arrow car and, 

 incidentally, reports business excellent 

 for this time of the year. 



Fred Bertrand, manager of the Mac- 

 Rorie-McLaren Co., reports much activ- 

 ity in landscape work and says that the 

 store trade leaves nothing to be desired. 

 Many favorable comments are heard 

 about the improved appearance of the 

 Powell street establishment, as the re- 

 sult of a thorough renovation and in- 

 troduction of a new decorative scheme 

 of latticework. Mr. Bertrand is about 

 ready to begin the manufacture and 

 marketing of his new invention, strip- 

 pers for cleaning roses and other flow- 

 ers. In a tryout at the store a few 

 days ago, one of the men cleaned three 

 dozen roses in a minute with the Ber- 

 trand strippers, whereas one of the 

 others cleaned about two dozen with 

 shears and another about the same num- 

 ber with a knife. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, Cal., was 

 a visitor last week and reported busi- 

 ness keeping up well this spring, with 

 indications for a big Mothers' day 

 trade. 



B. M. Joseph sums up the situation 

 in the words, "Stock is plentiful and 

 business is good." 



J. A. AxeJI says that as far as his 

 shipping business is concerned, there 

 has been little interference from the 

 railroad strike. He has been filling 

 all orders in the territory west of Den- 

 ver and so far has not had a complaint 

 on account of delayed delivery. 



Florists, horticulturists and amateur 

 flower growers have combined for an ex- 

 hibition of their garden and greenhouse 

 products at a spring flower sliow to be 

 given in Oakland, Cal., May 16 to 18, 

 under the auspices of the Alameda 

 County Floral Society. The date for 

 the show was originally set for April 25, 

 but was changed to permit competi- 

 tion and exhibition of tlie later spring 

 flowers. Space has been obtained at the 

 Hotel Oakland for the exhibition and 

 much interest is shown in perfecting the 

 arrangements for Oakland's first show. 

 Roses will predominate in the displays, 

 but prizes are also offered for various 

 other flowers, plants, ferns, etc.

The Market. 



Business was marked by a rather quiet 

 opening last week, a fine demand for 

 Friday, Saturday and Sunday and an- 

 other quiet opening this week. There 

 has been enough of a demand to care for 

 all of the late arrivals, so that there is 

 little or no reason for complaint. The 

 local cut of roses has been lighter, but, 

 with a few more day^ of warm sunshine 

 such as have been seen recently, the 

 greenhouses will again be able to offer 

 plenty of stock. The outdoor flowers of 

 spring have been popular sellers in all 

 of the stores and there has been every 

 reason to look for brisk business in 

 bedding plants. 



The first irises of the season came in 

 this week from California, setting a 

 new early record, and these shared nov- 

 elty honors with the cherry blossoms 

 which are being received from local or- 

 chards. The quality of late daffodil 

 deliveries is all that eould be asked and 

 the narcissus cut is of fine color and

 Gentlemen— It may mterest you to know the results 

 from the few Freesias that we had from you Auanist, 

 1919-3000 5-8 inch and 2000 3-4 inch~5000 in all. From 

 the 5000 bulbs we cut and sold practically 24,000 

 blooms. We think this is a wonderful result, and 

 whether our methods of culture were different or 

 not, we give great credit to the quality of the bulbs. 



Yours respectfully, 

 F. A. Van Kirk. Sec. VAN KIRK FLORAL CO.
