The Florists^ Review

ful, having that rich, velvety tint so 

 much admired in reds. While the Am- 

 ling range is supposed to be devoted to 

 roses, a few benches of carnations were 

 planted, the principal varieties being 

 Ward and Matchless. Both are produc- 

 ing well and the flowers come in useful 

 just now, when there is such a scarcity. 

 Mr. Ainling speaks highly of oil for fuel, 

 the big boilers being fired with oil 'en- 

 tirely. It was originally intended to 

 partition the boiler room off from the 

 service building, but the firing has been 

 so clean that so far the partition has 

 not been necessary, and the building is 

 open throughout. Everything is ar- 

 ranged for extension, so that, no matter 

 what additions have to be made, it will' 

 only be necessary to remove the end 

 walls and continue the building. Oil 

 pumps, vacuum pumps and everything 

 needed are all there. In fact, it is one 

 of the handiest and most complete ar- 

 rangements which it is possible to con- 

 ceive. Mr. Amling says truly, "We have 

 had experience enough to know just 

 what we need." The coming to Califor- 

 nia of such a firm is a great asset to the 

 trade, generally. 



Various Notes. 



At the Flower Shop, on Main street, 

 our old friend, Henry Turner, was not 

 on hand, having left town for a few 

 days. The shop is certainly beautiful, 

 with its many fine objects of art dis- 

 played. 



Morris the Florist, at 630 North Main 

 street, has done wonders in the short 

 time that he has been open, the store 

 being most attractive. Mr. Morris and 

 his son are actively engaged there and 

 they report a good business, especially 

 in funeral work. Like everyone else, 

 they say that they have great dif&culty 

 in obtaining stock at the present time. 



Fred Rafferty is probably the oldest 

 established nurseryman and florist in 

 Santa Ana. He is well known and uni- 

 versally respected in the trade. His 

 place is in good shape and everyone con- 

 nected with it seems busy. Both the 

 landscape and retail departments are 

 showing good results. H. R. R.

The Market. 



Stock is somewhat scarce and cleans 

 up readily each day. Roses are espe- 

 cially scarce and prices are high. Daf- 

 fodils and freesias are getting plentiful 

 and find a ready market. Sweet peas 

 are starting to come in with stems of 

 good length. California violets are 

 about off the market, on account of the 

 snow and frost they have been having 

 in California. 



Potted daffodils, tulips and hyacinths 

 give the stores the appearance of spring. 

 Cinerarias are also coming in and will, 

 no doubt, prove a good spring seller, 

 as heretofore. 



Various Notes. 



The annual florists' banquet will be 

 held in the Masonic temple Tuesday, 

 February 21. A good program is being 

 prepared, with dancing to follow. 



R. Briggs has left the Spokane Florist 

 Co. and has accepted a position with 

 Mrs. A. J. Burt. Mrs. Burt plans to run 

 the store under the present name of

Ml these varieties are not only winter- 

 flowering, but they will produce more and 

 better flowers out of doors than the old 

 late Spencers, because they bloom 3 to 4 

 weeks earlier, before the hot weather sets 

 in. Plant after the Chrysanthemum and 

 sret full crop for Easter. Plant in cool 

 frames or outdoors just before the freezing 

 begins and get full crop in May for Decora- 

 tion Day. Plant out of doors in the spring 

 and they will bloom early in June.
