The Florists' Review 



Decbubbb 3, 1914. 



George Beinberg, Chicago, and more 

 recently connected with Domoto Bros., 

 OaJiland, has been ill and his doctor 

 has sent him to Los Angeles to re- 

 cuperate. He is considerably thinner 

 and I hardly knew him, but of course 

 it will only be a matter of time when 

 he will get fixed up all right here. 



Fred Sperry reports a fine shipping 

 business at the store of the L. A. Fioral 

 Co. He is handling the pink seedling 

 carnation, Mrs. Welsh, grown by El- 

 gert & Martin, of Covina. 



G. Newman, of S. Murata & Co., is on 

 a business trip to San Francisco. Busi- 

 neaa ke^ps up well here. 



Wright's Flower Shop reports a big 

 week's business and several important 

 wedding deeorations for early in De- 

 cember. 



The Germain Seed & Plant Co. is 

 handling big lots of A-^alley how, both 

 cold storage pips and cut stock. The 

 demand for pips for Christmas forcing 

 haa been away beyond expectations. 



C. Gutting appears to have recovered 

 from the shock of his near-electrocu- 

 tion and is dodging the traffic as 

 nimbly as ever. He reports a fine de- 

 mand for his Christmas plants. 



H. W. Turner reports a big demand 

 for roses, on some days more than can 

 be filled from the big greenhouses. 



Tony Tassano and his two brothers 

 apparently put in a good deal of time 

 at the store now, when business is 

 booming. The quality of the green 

 goods shipped in from their Glendale 

 nursery is fine. 



Big shipments of northern greens 

 continue to arrive at the store of the 

 California Evergreen Co. and are 

 quickly cleaned up daily.

The Market. 



The extra demand for flowers for 

 Thanksgiving has tended to make con- 

 ditions more nearly normal than they 

 have been at any time this fall. This 

 extra business was as brisk as was ex- 

 pected and all had stock of excellent 

 quality to meet the call. While the 

 volume of stock handled probably 

 nearly equaled that of last ye.ar, the 

 amount received from the sales was 

 less by at least twenty per cent. 



This decrease is divided between the 

 grower and retailer in about equal 

 shares. The public has had the bene- 

 fit, getting extra fine flowers at low 

 prices. This accounts, perhaps, for the 

 large sales reported. Some retailers re- 

 port good business from their regular 

 customers; others think their large 

 Thanksgiving sales were due to drop-in 

 customers. There was a normal de- 

 mand from outside points, and shippers 

 were busy. 



Potted plants sold well, cyclamens 

 being the favorites. The beautiful 

 weather Thursday brought people out 

 and made trade brisk in corsages and 

 boutonnieres. A few violets still come 

 in from the vicinity, but the bulk of 

 the stock is California-grown. Orchids 

 are more plentiful, Cattleya labiata 

 leading. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Clemmens, the sweet pea spe- 

 cialist of Newberg, was a visitor Fri- 

 day. He reports having greatly en- 

 larged his outdoor area of sweet pea 

 stock and says it is his intention to
