The Florists^ Review 



JuNX 29. 1922 



away again that Noble Pelicano at- 

 tached him to the staff of Pelicano, 

 Bossi & Co. James Keegan^ of the staff 

 of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., is visiting flo- 

 rists as far south as San Diego on his 

 annual vacation. 



Beport of Albert O. Stein's banquet 

 of visiting Shriners appeared, with il- 

 lustration, on a preceding page. 



Bobert Armiston, of Santa Barbara, 

 was one of the visiting Nobles during 

 Shrine week. Other visitors included 

 Noble Smith, of Modesto, and Noble 

 Keller, of St. Paul, Minn. 



It seems that an oasis in the window 

 had more than a merely decorative 

 meaning during Shrine week. "Our 

 oasis brought us many callers," said 

 r. 0. Jaeger. During Shrine week F. C. 

 Jaeger & Son had some of the important 

 table decorations for banquets. 



The Suzanne Floral Co. had a decora- 

 tion consisting of a number of hotel 

 tables for the Shriners. This firm has 

 some good advance orders for the open- 

 ing of the Casino theater, by Oliver 

 Morosco. Business for this firm has 

 been helped by placing heavy vases on 

 the sidewalk. These are too heavy to 

 be moved by practical jokers. 



The Conservatory had Shrine decora- 

 tions at the Fairmont hotel that kept 

 the store busy. Eecently they have had 

 a good many funerals, 



Mr. and Mrs. Darbee, after visiting 

 Texas, are preparing to sail from New 

 York for Europe. General and Mrs. 

 Gooch, of Darbee 's, will get no regular 

 vacation this year. They are now pre- 

 paring for the aster season. 



Podesta & Baldocchi say that busi- 

 ness is excellent with them. They have 

 just added two new White delivery vans 

 to their fleet and have put their drivers 

 in livery. They were busy with bon 

 voyage baskets and flowers for Shriners 

 sailing on the Alexander and other ships 

 for Honolulu. 



Joseph Bianchini, formerly manager 

 for Joseph's, and well known in the 

 florists' trade, is now in Florence, Italy, 

 on a tour of Europe with his wife. 

 Clarence J. McLaughlin, of Joseph's, is 

 spending his vacation at Fairfax, where 

 he has a cottage. Miss Howard, who 

 was ill while here, writes to her former 

 associates on Joseph 's staff that she has 

 rcrovcred her health in Milwaukee. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is devoting 

 much attention to bringing forward sev- 

 eral houses of roses, while many of the 

 rose growers are giving the plants their 

 annual vacation. 



"The market is entirely shot to 

 pieces," said J. A. Axell. A large new 

 stock of Mas-Art baskets now ornament 

 Mr. Axel's shelves. They have just 

 come in and will not remain in stock 

 long, for these baskets are in great de- 

 mand among the florists. Visiting 

 Shriners who called on Mr. Axell were: 

 Samuel Lundy, of the Roldt-Lundy Co., 

 Denver, Colo.; Arthur Schwerin, of the 

 Burlington "Willow Ware Shops, Burling- 

 ton, la.; Mr. and Mrs. George Olsen, of 

 Spokane, Wash. 



Enomoto & Co. are receiving many ad- 

 vance orders for freesia bulbs. This is 

 largely due to a two weeks' visit to Los 

 Angeles by T. Honda, of Enomoto & Co. 

 He contracted for shipments of consid- 

 erable size. 



I. Inoue, manager of the United 

 Flower & Supply Co., has sailed for 

 Japan by the latest Maru liner to leave 

 port. He expects to return in the early 

 fall to take part in the chrysanthemum 

 season. This firm is showing a fine win-
