The Florists^ Review 



Jdnb 1. 1922 



Mention The Review when you write. 



greatly reduced by competition with 

 artificial flowers from Germany and 

 other European countries. ' ' Mr. Inoue 

 added that the cut flower business is 

 good at present. 



Domoto Bros, had some nice Shasta 

 daisies and marguerites, which, they 

 said, would be ready for cutting for Me- 

 morial day, as well as roses, peonies, etc. 



The Growers' Floral Co. is cutting a 

 fine stock of statice, helichrysum and 

 other strawflowers, including the coral- 

 like flowers known popularly as "Eus- 

 sian cattail." 



S. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., has re- 

 turned from a visit to Santa Cruz, where 

 things are growing satisfactorily. Some 

 of the Japanese growers in Santa Cruz 

 have good supplies of freesia bulbs, Mr. 

 Enomoto stated. He has made arrange- 

 ments to handle a considerable quantity 

 of these bulbs. These are for July de- 

 livery. 



In places where San Francisco florists 

 congregate, one is apt to see and hear 

 the admonition: "Don't forget the 

 florists' picnic, Fairfax park, June 25." 



Frank Thatcher represented Pelicano, 

 Rossi & Co. at the '"49" celebration 

 in Sacramento. Frank D. Pelicano says 

 that he knows, from old-timers he has 

 met, that Mr. Thatcher was quite in 

 keeping, neatly shaven and wearing fine 

 raiment. "The city boys dressed well 

 in the days of '49." 



Podesta & Baldocchi have had num- 

 bers of Shriners in their store already. 

 They belong to the Honolulu delegation, 

 which is here. Manuel Russell, of this 

 firm, is going away for a two months' 

 outing on the Russian river. 



Joseph's have a number of orders for 

 Shriner affairs, including a big banquet 

 at the Palace. They also have consid- 

 erable work in connection with affairs 

 for the delegates to the national real 

 estate convention. The Civic Audi- 

 torium is being transformed into a red- 

 wood forest for this convention, with 

 the floor carpeted with pine needles and 

 wild flowers. 



The Misses Hannon's store is busy 

 with bon voyage baskets. 



The Charles C. Navlct Co. has the 

 largest and most extensively assorted 

 stock of dahlias that it lias had for some 

 years. The stock includes a fine line of 

 pompon dahlias. 



Darboe's designed some clever 

 wreaths in strawflowers for Memorial 

 day. The firm reported heavy advance 

 orders for local decorations for that 

 day, as well as a rush of shipping orders.
