The Florists'' Review 



July 2, 1014. 



rations were made for the July fete. 

 There is some doubt, at the present 

 writing, whether or not it will be safe 

 to venture in the disastrous pleasure 

 of tug o' war at this annual event, and 

 from present indications the growers 

 and retailers will wage their yearly 

 contest in baseball. 



Theo. Nielson, of San Lorenzo, a man 

 new to us along trade lines, has aston- 

 ished the local trade with the wonder- 

 ful gladioli he has been sending to San 

 Francisco. 



Henry Avansino is relaxing from his 

 usual hard labor by visiting different 

 sections of the state in his machine. 

 The Fairmont Floral Co., of which Mr. 

 Avansino is president, has just pur- 

 chased a fine big delivery truck. This 

 makes the second car that this concern 

 has purchased and with the two it will 

 undoubtedly be able to handle its rap- 

 idly growing business. 



Albert O. Stein reports an unusually 

 fine business for the month of June. 

 Mr. Stein has handled a great many 

 large weddings and specializes in dec- 

 orative work. 



Louis Capurro, who was formerly con- 

 nected with the Mayflower Flower 

 Shop, is about to open a new estab- 

 lishment in O'Farrell street, just be- 

 low Powell. The location seems to be a 

 good one and it is the wish of every- 

 body connected with the trade that he 

 may have success in his venture. 



The Grant Avenue Floral Co., which 

 for the last two years has been doing 

 business at Grant avenue and Sutter 

 streets, decided to close out and the 

 manager is reported to have somewhat 

 surprised the trade by locking his doors 

 and leaving the key for the landlord. 

 It is said he has not been seen since. 



Donald McLaren,, assistant landscape 

 engineer of the Panama-Pacific Interna- 

 tional Exposition, has returned from a 

 business trip to the southern country, 

 where he is reserving quantities of 

 trees and plants for the fair grounds. 



Balph Stevens, of the University of 

 California, has returned from a trip to 

 the Yosemite valley. Mr. Stevens, in 

 conjunction with Prof. Gregg, recently 

 made an expedition to the Santa Cruz 

 islands to study the native flora. 

 Among those in the party were C. W. 

 Duesner, of Pasadena; P. Seidell, L. 

 George, B. W. Donald and Joseph Mc- 

 Dermott, of Santa Barbara, and Wal- 

 ter A. Hofinghoff, of San Francisco. 

 After thoroughly exploiting the island 

 country, Prof. Gregg, Mr. Stevens and 

 Mr. Hofinghoff made a visit to the San 

 Diego exposition and collected a great 

 many photos and interesting data on 

 landscape and nursery work in Cali- 

 fornia. 



Daniel MacRorie, of the MacEorie- 

 McLaren Co., has engaged new quarters 

 in San Mateo, where he will spend the 

 summer. 



Mark Daniels, of Daniels, Osmont & 

 Wilhelm, has been appointed superin- 

 tendent of national parks by President 

 Wilson. W. A. H.

The Market. 



Business last week was an agreeable 

 surprise to all florists. Commencement 

 exercises at the various schools created 

 a heavy demand for flowers of all kinds. 

 June weddings were numerous, utiliz- 

 ing the best grades of stock. The dec- 

 orations in many cases were elaborate.
