The Florists^ Review 



40 



Scblotzhauer, of the Francis Floral 

 Depot. Pelicano, Bossi & Go. entered 

 several baskets, one a wonderful crea- 

 tion carrying out the latest apricot 

 shades in mums, ribbon and basket. 

 They also had a meritorious basket of 

 yellow roses with valley, Julius Epp- 

 stein won first prize for the best ar- 

 ranged basket of cut flowers. In his 

 entry baby dahlias were arranged dex- 

 terously with Mahonia aquifolia, the 

 first of the season. His Fortola basket 

 of yellow and red mums was a lavish 

 entry and won much favorable com- 

 ment. A basket worthy of special 

 mention was that entered by the Fran- 

 cis Floral Depot and consisting mostly 

 of colored foliage plants, crotons, 

 dracsanas and a few sprays of Odon- 

 toglossum grande. 



Various Notes. 



We note with pleasure the arrival 

 of a new florist among us, P. J. Mc- 

 Mannis, who has taken over the May- 

 flower Floral Shop, at Powell and Mar- 

 ket streets. Mr. McMannis is well 

 known about the bay as a man of ster- 

 ling business qualities and, although 

 his experience with flowers is not ex- 

 tensive, we wish him success and feel 

 assured that he will soon learn the 

 wrinkles of the trade. Mr. McMannis' 

 head man is Louis Cappuro, well known 

 among florists. With his efficient serv- 

 ice there is no doubt that the May- 

 flower Floral Co. will soon be one of 

 importance in San Francisco. 



Julius Eppstein, the California Flo- 

 rist, made an attractive window by in- 

 corporating in it the photographs of 

 some of the prize-winners of the flower 

 show with the trophies that he won, 

 and featured orchids against a panel 

 of dark green velvet. The whole 

 scheme, although simple, was quite at- 

 tractive and caused much comment. 



Mr. Kossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., 

 reports an excellent week. This firm 

 has been occupied extensively with 

 Portola. They have decorated the 

 queen's float. This was much com- 

 mented upon, and it is pleasing to 

 note that natural flowers were the main 

 feature in our big Portola celebration. 

 In addition to the queen's float, Mr. 

 Rossi's firm decorated several private 

 automobiles, prize-winners for excel- 

 lent judgment and taste. Mr. Rossi 

 is busy collecting Dendrobium PhalsB- 

 nopsis to fill a order duplicating the 

 bride's bouquet which he exhibited at 

 the flower show. It was a wonderful 

 creation and beyond a doubt there will 

 be many duplications before the sea- 

 son is over. 



The Bellevue Florist, in the Bellevue 

 hotel, has had a good week. The busi- 

 ness outlook is quite satisfactory and 

 the spacious stores are a mass of ar- 

 tistically arranged blooms. 



Donald McLaren, of the MacRorie- 

 McLaren Co., has returned from a trip 

 to Fresno, where he attended the con- 

 vention of the California Association 

 of Nurserymen. 



John Fotheringham, who has been 

 with us for some time and who took 

 unto himself a wife from the west, is 

 on his way to the east, but we hope 

 to see him with us again soon. 



Patrick Orr, of the Fairmount Floral 

 Co., is again about and actively at 

 work. His return is much welcomed by 

 his friends and particularly by the 

 company. 



Frank Pelicano, of Pelicano, Rossi 

 & Co., has returned from the hospital 

 Hfter being laid up for over a rffStftii,*
