The Horists' Review

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 



There is a wide variety of outdoor 

 seasonable offerings, such as scabiosa, 

 marguerites, gaillardias and stocks, in 

 addition to a heavy cut of roses and 

 carnations, and the general supply of 

 flowers is further augmented by a heavy 

 crop of large-flowering gladioli. The 

 latter show excellent quality and have 

 a splendid call. Both roses and carna- 

 tions are holding up well in quality. 

 White roses are in particularly good 

 demand for wedding bouquets. The 

 principal white variety featured in this 

 market is Kaiserin, although some 

 White Killarney is offered. As far as 

 other roses are concerned, Russell, Co- 

 lumbia, Ophelia and Hadley are about 

 equally good. 



Orchids are not plentiful, but there 

 seem to be enough to meet requirements. 

 They retail at $1.50 and $2. Gardenias 

 are in fairly good crop for this time 

 of the year. Strawflowers are an im- 

 portant feature of shipping business. 



Various Notes. 



F. C. Jaeger & Son, who have con- 

 ducted a retail store at 152 Powell 

 street for some time, are now going into 

 the wholesale shipping business. To 

 this end they have acquired additional 

 basement space and are having the 

 premises remodeled and fitted up with 

 an icebox and other special features to 

 handle orders of any size to all points 

 within shipping distance of San Fran- 

 cisco. Retail sales, Mr. Jaeger says, 

 are holding up well for June. John 

 McDonald is spending his vacation at 

 Siegler's Springs, in Lake county. 



A. J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., 

 is on a committee which has been dele- 

 gated to make a tour of inspection of 

 the Hetchy water project on behalf of 

 the city. Mr. Pelicano reports busi- 

 ness a little better than usual for the 

 summer time. 



C. Kooyman says that there will be 

 a great shortage of Freesia Purity this 

 year. He is booking large orders for 

 these bulbs. Calla lily bulbs will be 

 short also, he says. 



Henry Avansino, manager of the 

 wholesale shipping warerooms of the E. 

 W. McLellan Co., has purchased this 

 firm's nursery at San Leandro, on the 

 east side of San Francisco bay. 



The Francis Floral Co., at Sutter and 

 Powell streets, which makes a strong 

 feature of its own novelty creations in 

 the way of baskets, pottery, lotus, etc., 

 is doing a fine tourist business this year.

 tities of gladioli and is also supplying
