The Rorists'-Revicw 



May 21, 1014. 



Snnburst are two of the comparatively 

 new ones that are making a hit just 

 nqV^, and the Beauties are extremely 

 good. 



A misstatement of mine as to the 

 nationality of the Polder & Groen boys 

 and their parents should be corrected. 

 Holland, is their fatherland, not Ger- 

 many, as Letated carelessly. 



H. Reeve Darling sends home glow- 

 ing accounts of the tulip and other bulb 

 fields in Holland, where he and his bride 

 now are visiting. Business keeps up 

 well under the able handling of Man- 

 ager Walter Garbett. 



One of the best weddings ever handled 

 by Eldred's Flower Shop, of Pasadena, 

 was the Frost function last veeek. This 

 was an outdoor affair and Mr. Eldred 

 personally looked after the decorations. 

 A great deal of choice stock was used, 

 and the bride carried a fine bouquet of 

 valley and orchids. The bridesmaids' 

 bouquets were of Chatenay and Cecile 

 Brunner roses, and the whole affair was 

 a great credit, to the firm. 



At the King funeral last week Morris 

 Goldenson had most of the work, includ- 

 ing a fine pall of valley and orchids. 



Judging by the thinned out ranks of 

 many of the popular varieties of roses, 

 H. W. Turner must already have had a 

 big season's business in spring stock. 

 The packing shed was full on a recent 

 visit and a look at some of the labels 

 showed that some, at least, of the money 

 that was formerly spent in the east for 

 roses will be coming back to California, 

 Mr. Turner has several alterations and 

 improvements in mind this season, in- 

 cluding a long line of frames and pos- 

 sibly another large propagating house. 



Among the funeral work at Frank 

 Lichtenberger 's last week was a pall of 

 Mrs. John Laing roses and Enchantress 

 carnations, another of Cecile Brunners 

 and valley, and a 7 -foot broken column. 



S. Murata, head of the firm of Murata 

 & Co., surprised his friends b^»lippi«g^ 

 away to Seattle recently, returning to 

 Los Angeles May 16 with his bride. No 

 one in the trade here is more respected 

 than Mr. Murata, and iall will join in 

 wishing him and his bride the happiest 

 of married lives. 



At the store of the H. N. Gage Co. I 

 noted some elegant Lilium candidum, 

 and the statice handled here is excep- 

 tionally good. Stock is coming in fine 

 shape now from the Montebello nur- 

 sery. L. Gage has everything here in 

 fine order, while H. N. Gage runs the 

 store end. 



A banquet at Sierre Madre helped out 

 at the store of J. Wolters last week. 



C. Morton, of the Los Angeles Flower 

 Market, is having considerable trouble 

 with his throat, which keeps him away 

 from the store a great deal. Business 

 here is reported good for the se&son,

Summer weather has prevailed for a 

 week and all varieties of flowers have 

 been forced into bloom. Outdoor roses 

 are about thirty days ahead of previous 

 years. Peonies are in full flower. There 

 is a fear that they will all be gone be- 

 fore Memorial day. Gaillardias, delphin- 

 iums and bachelor's buttons also are on 

 the market. Carnations are holding out 

 nicely. There is no surplus of these and 

 good prices prevail. Roses are in heavy 

 crop, but all show the effects of the 

 beat. Lady Hillingdon has proved a

Mothers' day brought considerable 

 business to the florists, yet there was 

 a decrease in comparison with other 

 years. A wider scope of advertising is 

 suggested to bring the day to the at- 

 tention of the public, also to convince 

 the people that other flowers aside 

 from carnations are appropriate. Sev- 

 eral of the florists had special window 

 effects in white, but most of them made 

 no attempt. 



Various Notes. 



George Betz, Jr,, met with an un- 

 timely death May 10, While with a 

 party of friends on an auto trip, the 

 car overturned, killing Mr, Betz and one 

 other of the party. They were burned 

 beyond recognition. The car was en- 

 tirely destroyed.
