The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBSB 19, 1914. 



better at this time. Considerable busi- 

 ness is being done in small flowers like 

 violets and Brunner roses and there 

 has been a much better call for valley. 

 Ferns and miscellaneous greens are 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Tassano Bros, appear to have struck 

 a rich vein of Mexican ivy. Tony 

 showed me some elegant stock that, he 

 says, had been gathered for them in 

 an entirely new locality. They say 

 business has been better since moving 

 to their new location, on L#os Angeles 

 street. 



A hasty look around the Montebello 

 nursery of the H. N. Gage Co. showed 

 wonderful improvement since my last 

 visit. The propagation of carnations 

 is in full swing and many thousands 

 of all the popular kinds are already 

 in the sand. One entire greenhouse is 

 planted with Cecile Brunner or Baby 

 roses, and, judging by the appearance 

 of the plants, there will be a fine cut 

 this winter. Outside Chinese lilies and 

 Paper Whites are coming in by the 

 acre, and, while the mums are getting 

 past their best, there was enough good 

 stock at the time of my visit to show 

 what they had been. The big lath 

 house contains a fine lot of Boston 

 ferns and other plants in great variety, 

 and the whole place reflects the great- 

 est credit on all concerned. 



C. Gutting, of the Superior Nursery 

 Co., had a narrow escape from being 

 electrocuted November 11. He uses a 

 motor for spraying or diffusing the oil 

 used in his boiler for fuel, and while 

 attending to some slight repairs he 

 asked an assistant to throw out the 

 switch adjoining the one already cut 

 out for the repairs. Instead of doing 

 this, the assistant turned the current 

 on, and had it not been for the timely 

 action of Mrs. Gutting he would have 

 been killed. As it was, he was badly 

 blistered on fe.et and hands and pretty 

 severely shaken up.

SAN FBANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The yearly football game between 

 California and Stanford Universities 

 creates a demand for yellow and red 

 chrysanthemums and for violets in pro- 

 fusion. This year Saturday morning 

 found every one of our retailers rushed 

 and taxed to his utmost capacity. It 

 is a good stimulant, and while it brings 

 no wonderfully big sales, it carries with 

 it many decorations. It is usual for 

 chrysanthemums to rise soAiewhat in 

 price at this gala occasion. 



The week shows no decided increase 

 or decrease in the general prices of cut 

 flowers. Chrysanthemums are coming 

 in more heavily. A few light rains 

 have improved the violets a trifle. Eoses 

 are excellent. Particularly good are 

 Killamey, Maryland, Mrs. Charles Rus- 

 sell and Mrs. George Shawyer. 



Cattleya labiata is not 'seen in as 

 great (juantities as a few weeks ago. 

 There are phalffinopsis in the best 

 stores. Gardenias are at a premium. 

 Fine potted cyclamen are bging brought 

 in by our leading growers. We have 

 "also a few Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. 

 They prove quick sellers.
