The Florists^ Review 



August 26. 1920 



Mums and violets are the two long-dis- 

 tance flowers and Mr. Axell considers 

 that chrysanthemums will keep his 

 shipping department busy until violets 

 come in, about the middle of October. 



Chrysanthemums are coming in nice- 

 ly, according to the United Flower & 

 Supply Co., which is already shipping 

 mums to coast points and east as far as 

 Denver. This firm congratulates itself 

 on having laid in a large stock of straw- 

 flowers early. The demand for these 

 was fairly good last year, but this sea- 

 son it has increased to a remarkable 

 degree. 



Henry Domoto, of Domoto Bros., has 

 gone east on business. He is expected 

 back next month. 



Enomoto & Co. are taking orders for 

 chrysanthemums for September ship- 

 ment. They continue to ship asters to 

 coast points as well as east. 



The Bertrand Flower Shop, in the 

 Palace hotel, is busy with decorations, 

 in addition to its usual trade with 

 guests and visitors to the Palace. Fred 

 Bertrand reports that business has 

 taken a sudden jerk upward. 



Julius Eppstein, in the St. Francis 

 hotel, has orders for decorations for 

 some of the coming society weddings. 

 They are all to be in different colorings. 

 Not one is in white. 



Some of the prize varieties in dah- 

 lias are being shown at B. M. Joseph's 

 store, on Grant avenue. These are some 

 of the kinds that will be displayed at 

 the coming dahlia show, in September. 



The Royal Flower Store, on Polk near 

 Sacramento street, finds that business 

 has picked up much during the last two 

 weeks. Homes that were closed all 

 summer are now reopened and the open- 

 ing of the school year is proving good 

 for retail florists. 



Eecent visitors to San Francisco in- 

 clude O. C. Saake, proprietor of the 

 Saake Flower Shop, Los Angeles. Mr. 

 Saake was accompanied by his brother, 

 William. Another visitor from the 

 south is H. A. Siebrecht, Jr., of Pasa- 

 dena. 



Mrs. Maude McGovern, of the Ros- 

 ary, Winnipeg, Man., is visiting the 

 trade here. 



The California State Floral Associa- 

 tion, one of the oldest organizations 

 in the state, has closed a successful dah- 

 lia show, which was given in Red Men 's 

 hall. Frank D. Pelicano, of Pelicano, 

 Rossi & Co., exhibited some fine seed- 

 lings and had no competitors. 



The will of the late Charles M. Volk- 

 man, who died here last month, has been 

 filed for probate. The executors are 

 his partner, Joseph G. Cox, and his son, 

 Edwin H. Volkman. The will disposes 

 of $1,000,000. Mr, Volkman was in the 

 seed business in this city for 57 years. 

 He is survived by his wife and nine 

 children. M. M.

The Market. 



Fairly steady sales, plenty of funeral 

 work and not too much stock combined 

 last week to put florists in an optimistic 

 frame of mind and start the current 

 week without any glut of flowers on the 

 market. A number of novelties have 

 been shown recently. The standard 

 lines are showing some improvement 

 in quality, while prices have been main- 

 tained well. 



Roses seem to have the biggest in- 

 crease in deliveries and one of the 

 growers reports that his outdoor cut is
