The Florists' Review 



Mai 13, 1920. 



quite so much in proportion as have 

 carnations and lilies, still their level 

 last week was above tJiat of the week 

 before. The quality of roses eoiitiuues 

 to maintain a high average. 



There is a large assortment of out- 

 side flowers, such as marigolds, gypso- 

 philaa, daisies, etc., but even they are 

 not so plentiful as they were a week 

 ugo. In fact, there does not seem to be 

 anything to fill the gap caused by the 

 sudden ending of the season on tulips 

 and lilacs. While they lasted, these two 

 items had a big call and tended to de- 

 tract attention from other stock. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. A. J. Gooch, who is associated 

 with her husband in the wholesale and 

 shipping business, says that the princi- 

 jial difficulty last week was to fill orders, 

 either on account of not being able to 

 get stock or not being able to ship into 

 the territory whence the orders came. 

 However, they had a fine Mothers' day 

 business, after making due allowance 

 for these handicaps. Vacation is the 

 next thing in order. General and Mrs. 

 Gooch are going on a 10-day trip; then 

 after Memorial day th«y plan a long 

 automobile tour into Oregon, which will 

 take a good part of the summer. 



S. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., says 

 that they received many Mothers' day 

 orders which they could fill, as well as 

 many which they could not. They sent 

 out large quantities of carnations and 

 spring flowers as far east as Ogden. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. con- 

 centrated on lilies for the day's busi- 

 ness. They contracted for a cut of 10,- 

 000 lilies and had no difficulty in dis- 

 posing of the entire crop at a good 

 price. 



Domoto Bros, report a heavy busi- 

 ness, it being impossible to fill all orders 

 on carnations. Roses fell a little short 

 and lilies cleaned up easily. They had a 

 fine cut of Easter lilies and handled a 

 good many callas besides. 



Henry Avansino, manager of the E. 

 W. McLellan Co., says that they could 

 have sold a good deal more stock last 

 week if it had been available, notwith- 

 standing the curtailment in shipping 

 business. The crop of roses is still 

 heavy, he says, but not so large as it 

 has been recently. While prices have 

 advanced a little, they are reasonable 

 compared with most other flowers just 

 now, which helps them to clean up bet- 

 ter than they have for some time. 



C. C. Kooyman says that stock is 

 scarce and business good. 



J. A. Axell reports all the business he 

 could handle for Mothers' day. 



W. Meldrum, of Sacramento, Cal., 

 visited the local market a few days ago, 

 bringing a good report on spring busi- 

 ness in that city. 



The plans for the spring flower show 

 of the Alameda County Floral Society 

 were concluded at a special meeting 

 held at the Oakland Chamber of Com- 

 merce on the evening of May 3. 



Extensive preparations have been 

 made for the rose show to be given 

 under the auspices of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society in this city and 

 much interest is being shown in the 

 event. M. M.
