shown by one or two firms and Dorothy 

 Perkins will be in sometime before 

 Easter. Violets are in their prime and, 

 in addition to being good, are plentiful 

 and reasonable in price. Cut Easter 

 lilies are arriving and there are good 

 crops of carnations and plenty of flower- 

 ing sprays, especially ornamental quince, 

 almond and peach. The second crop of 

 Chinese lilies and freesias is in. Good 

 crops of snapdragons and sweet peas are 

 being cut and anemones are arriving. 

 More gardenias will be cut in the next 

 few days. At present they are scarce. 

 There is a shortage of Darwin tulips, 

 owing to the fact that those grown 

 under glass have been cut and the out- 

 door stock has not put in its appearance. 

 Lilies of the valley are plentiful. Or- 

 chids are off crop. 



Various Notes. 



A new florist's store was opened, 

 March 15, at 2140 Mission street, under 

 the firm name of the H. A. Dunlap Floral 

 Co. The proprietor, H. A. Dunlap, was 

 until recently a clerk with Pelicano, 

 Eossi & Co., and at the Kearny street 

 headquarters of that firm everyone was 

 wishing Mr. Dunlap good luck in his 

 new venture. "We were sorry to lose 

 Mr. Dunlap," said Frank D. Pelicano, 

 "but we realize that he wanted to start 

 out for himself." The store is in a 

 busy district of the Mission. It is not 

 a large establishment, but is a neat and 

 attractive flower shop. 



H. D. Schiller, one of the leading flo- 

 rists of Chicago, has been at the St. 

 Francis hotel for several days and has 

 visited the members of the trade, some 

 of whom are acquainted with him 

 through having called at his store in 

 Chicago. Mr. Schiller came from Los 

 Angeles in the course of a western tour. 



Adrian J. Schoorl is selling pompon 

 dahlia bulbs for the cut flower trade. 

 He says he has been successful both with 

 these bulbs and with garden seeds, the 

 results having been achieved largely 

 through advertisements in The Review, 

 which brought him orders from all over 

 the country. Mr. Schoorl is featuring 

 seeds for fourteen varieties of statice, 

 the Statice Suworowii, or Russian 

 statice, being especially adapted for 

 florists' purposes. 



B. Joseph has proi'ured several thou- 

 sand of the neat and pretty slips sent 

 out by Vincent Gorly, of Grimm & 

 Gorly, St. LouTs, asking "Which is your 

 Birthday Flower!" "These slips are 

 sent out free by Mr. Gorly, who is a 

 florist himself, and has for years advo- 

 cated the cultivation of birthdav flow-

 Patrick 's day. F. W. Davis, of the C. 

 Kooyman Co., outdid his contemporaries 

 with a vivid emerald he produced. This 

 led to inquiries for the dye used, and a 

 brisk dye trade resulted. Mr. Davis 

 pointed out that the St. Patrick's day 

 dye can be used for garments, etc., as 

 well as for flowers. The C. Kooyman
