The Florists^ Review 



Dbceubbb 11, 1919. 



special note was shown at Joseph's 

 shop. A huge, flaring, gilt basket was 

 filled to overflowing with seasonable 

 fruits — brilliantly colored apples, pome- 

 granates, persimmons, etc. The handle of 

 the basket was entwined with small 

 pompon chrysanthemums in bronze and 

 gold tones and gilded grapes. A suit- 

 able background of flowers following the 

 general color scheme provided the fin- 

 ishing touch to the whole. 



The arrival of the Imperial Potentate 

 of the Mystic Shrine from Philadelphia 

 was the occasion for much festivity 

 among local members, who left nothing 

 undone to entertain the distinguished 

 guest. The decorations for one of the 

 dinners given in his honor at the Hotel 

 St. Francis were done by the MacRorie- 

 McLaren Co., and were greatly admired 

 by the dinner guests. In the center of 

 a huge, U-shaped table, occupying 1,300 

 square feet of space, was the Shrine em- 

 blem worked out in colors. The arrange- 

 ment of ..the emblem was suggestive of 

 a sunken garden, for it nestled in a 

 fragrant forest of azalea trees, cyclamen 

 plants, palins, etc. The star was red, 

 the crescent white and the keystone red, 

 white and blue, while a California Teddy 

 bear, dressed to represent a Shriner of 

 the Golden State, stood in the center of 

 the mammoth star, holding fast to the 

 rope. The work was personally superin- 

 tended by Manager Fred Bertrand, who 

 also attended the dinner in the capacity 

 of Shrine member. 



Julius Eppstein, the St. Francis hotel 

 florist, reports everything in good shape. 

 Tyto weddings which took place in the 

 J^oj;el during the last week provided ex- 

 tra work for the staff.

^e Market. 



Thanksgiving day trade left most of 

 the greenhouses sold out of many vari- 

 eties of chrysanthemums, but still there 

 has been a good supply of Bonnaffon 

 and Turner. Carnations are more plen- 

 tiful now than at any time since the 

 crop came in. The demand for them is 

 not brisk, for the November flower is 

 certainly the queen of the market at 

 present. The supply of roses is in keep- 

 ing with the demand. Ophelia especially 

 is of good quality and continues to be 

 the favorite with the public. 



Thanksgiving business for all the 

 trade was better than ever before. Stock 

 of good quality was offered and there 

 was an unusual demand for the higher- 

 priced flowers. Turner took the lead 

 and a great many more could have been 

 sold had they been in the stores. Some 

 fine Yellow Eaton was seen and brought 

 as good a price as Turner. 



Various Notes. 



The city greenhouses, at Manito park, 

 are one bower of bloom from geraniums 

 to chrysanthemums. In winter the 

 greenhouses are always full of blooms 

 and in summer the sunken gardens are 

 constantly attractive. Thousands of 

 tourists spend a day at Manito park, 

 which has also many local visitors. It 

 is a great asset to the trade, as it makes 

 more people want to buy flowers and 

 grow them.

 mand for corsage bouquets. The war
