The Florists^ Review 



Fbbrcaby 17, 1921 



shapes having been jjut in. Large quan- 

 tities of statice and strawflowers arc 

 being sent out. 



A charming St. Valentine's day win- 

 dow, one of the first noted, was put uj) 

 by 8. Purdie & Co., West Fourth street. 



Arthur Howard, of Howard & Smith, 

 says that his firm is working on a 5-ear- 

 load order of nursery stock for Texas. 



J. Austin Shaw, formerly of New 

 York and now living at Santa Monica, 

 Cal., occasionally visits the boys around 

 town and, while able to get about fairly 

 well, has not made the progress towards 

 perfect recovery that his many friends 

 would wish him to. H. E. R. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



Tliere is more stock in the market 

 now than there has been for some time 

 past. Spring flowers are plentiful. 

 Daffodils are in abundance, violets are 

 of good quality and plentiful, and the 

 sam{> is true of narcissi, frcesias, mari- 

 golds, tulips and hyacinths. Koses are 

 still scarce and carnations, while not so 

 scarce as roses, .are not overabundant. 



Asparagus and maidenhair ferns are 

 coming in fairly well. Several of tiie 

 shippers re])ort excellent success in 

 sending acacia sjirays to distant points. 

 These s])rays are so jdentiful tliat, in 

 spite of the heavy shipments, encjugli 

 remain for the local demand. Fruit 

 blossoms are coming in well, especially 

 almond, flowering quince and ^leach 

 blossoms. The famous Japanese flower- 

 ing cherry is scarce, for, in spite of care, 

 this attractive ornamental pink flower 

 does not do well in the alien atmosphere 

 and soil of California. 



Club Banquet.' 



A b.'ittle of flowers, using orcliids, was 

 one of the many luxurious features of 

 the first banquet of the Retail Florists' 

 Association, which was held at the Fior 

 d 'Italia restaurant, February 5. All the 

 leading florists had contributed liber- 

 ally to make the decorations something 

 to be remembered. Ferrari liros. sent 

 in about 7.")0 orchids, so that there were 

 orchids given to everyone. Angelo 

 Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & <,'o., was 

 toastmaster and his task was no sine- 

 cure. A professional cabaret show w;is 

 provided and among the entert:nners 

 were two florists, George Nevin, of S;ni 

 Anselmo, who gave a Scotch sword 

 dance, and William Paganini, of the 

 firm of Podesta & Baldocehi, who ren- 

 dered whistling solos with much skill. 

 There was an excellent orchestra, nnd 

 the climax of the affair was renclied in 

 a spirited battle of flowers. Albert (). 

 Stein and Charles \V. Brown, jiresident 

 and vice-president, respectively, of the 

 Retail Florists' Association, were large- 

 ly rcs]ionsii)le for the success of the 

 banquet. 



Various Notes. 



The board of supiTvisors of San Fran- 

 cisco is considering including the florists 

 in the Sunday closing ordinance. It is 

 understood that when the city attorney 

 lias ]>assed favorably on the ordinance 

 it will be jtassed by the supervisors. 



W. J. Smyth, of Chicago, was a visitor 

 in San Francisco during the week of 

 February 6. 



J. A. Axtdl added two men to his staff 

 to handle the St. Valentine's day busi- 

 ness. As he ])redieted, violets were the 

 favorite flowi>rs for tlio day. 



Darbee 's reports two large I'lincrals.
