The Florists' Review: 



71 



terest of all connected with the trade 

 was the opening of Joseph's new flower 

 shop, at 233 Grant avenue. Beyond a 

 doubt, Mr. Joseph is opening the finest 

 shop that San Francisco can boast of. 

 He has leased three stories of a promi- 

 nent building, the front of which is 

 embellished with flower boxes and trel- 

 lises. From the flower boxes wonder- 

 ful plants of Lotus peliorhynchus hang 

 gracefully over the edge, and at the 

 pilasters he is constructing a lattice- 

 work, which will be covered with vines 

 throughout the year. The first floor of 

 Mr. Joseph 's flower shop is in ivory 

 white. The show window is immense, 

 the largest span of plate glass that any 

 florist here can boast of. The walls are 

 Caen stone finish, the floor tile. The 

 second floor of Mr. Joseph's establish- 

 ment is arranged with a bower eflfect 

 and will be devoted exclusively to 

 plants in art receptacles. The third 

 floor will be temporarily used for an 

 aquarium and aviary, but later will be 

 devoted to fine English and Italian 

 garden furniture. For a trade-mark, 

 Mr. Joseph has selected a many-colored 

 escutcheon, to represent the coat of 

 many colors. Mr. Joseph's establish- 

 ment differs from other local concerns 

 in that he advertises his firm as dealers 

 in "flowers, fruits and favors." 



Podesta & Baldocchi showed a most 

 appropriate window for the occasion of 

 the "big game." Skillfully created 

 footballs of yellow and red chrysanthe- 

 mums dexterously laced with ribbon 

 were a striking feature of the window. 



The Gaiety Flower Shop last, week 

 had a window of old-fashioned bou- 

 quets, showing the colors of the lead- 

 ing football teams. 



Eric James, of Elmhurst, has been 

 confined to his bed with a severe cold. 

 He will be up and about within a few 

 days. 



The MacKorie-McLaren Co. has just 

 received a consignment of three car- 

 loads of boxwood, hollies and other or-, 

 namental plants. Mr. Macllorie reports 

 that the goods reached their destination 

 in perfect shape. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Pacific Coast Horticultural Society was 

 held in Sachem hall, Redmen's build- 

 ing, November 7. The following were 

 the awards on the monthly exhibits: 

 Eucalyptus ficifolia blooms, exhibited 

 by E. A. Asmus, 90 points; ncphrol- 

 epis, exhibited by Hillsborough Nur- 

 series, 80 points; cyclamen plants, ex- 

 hibited by MacRorie-McLaren Co., 95 

 points.

The Market. 



Regarding carnations and mums the 

 situation has changed but little. This 

 small change, however, has been for 

 the better. A few more cloudy days 

 have helped to increase the demand, as 

 homes require more decorating to be 

 cheerful and there are not qtfite so 

 many flowers in the yards that can be 

 used. 



Retail prices have been well sustained, 

 considering the oversupply. Roses, vio- 

 lets and valley of good quality are plen- 

 "J"' and retail at normal prices. Or- 

 ("hids are coming in more freely. Orna- 

 mental and blooming potted plants are 

 moving a little faster.
