The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 25, 1915. 



especially a collection of cut roses by 

 the E. W. McLellan Co., flowering 

 shrubs by the MacRorie-McLaren Co., 

 and a miscellaneous collection of bulbs 

 by C. C. Morse & Co. 



The manager of the show was H. 

 Plath, with J. R. Fotheringham as his 

 assistant. 



Various Notes. 



Bulbous stock planted by various ex- 

 hibitors in the horticultural gardens of 

 the exposition, near the Palace of Hor- 

 ticulture, is beginning to blossom nice- 

 ly, while the courts and spaces around 

 other buildings have been a mass of 

 color for the last week with bulbous 

 and a few annual flowers, and the pink 

 flowers are beginning to appear on the 

 famous "living wall" around the 

 grounds. Among the exhibit plots, in 

 the Netherlands plot on the west side 

 of the Palace of Horticulture the hya- 

 cinths are all in bloom and the tulips 

 are just beginning. Just south of the 

 palace is a handsome plot of Gesneriana 

 major tulips from the Pacific Coast 

 Bulb Co., of Santa Cruz, but elsewhere 

 in the horticultural gardens there is as 

 yet little bloom, except in the corner 

 east of the lumbermen's buildings, oc- 

 cupied by C. C. Morse & Co., who are 

 showing some rather notable things in 

 the way of bulbous stock. As a back- 

 ing for the plot, which occupies one- 

 third of an acre, the newer varieties of 

 Spencer sweet peas are being planted 

 on the English cordon system. 



Schwerin Bros., at Visitation Valley, 

 in the southeast corner of San Fran- 

 cisco, have been bringing in a large 

 crop of fine hyacinths. 



Fred Burki, of Pittsburgh, is making 

 a visit to San Francisco, accompanied 

 by his family. 



Hogan, Kooyman & Co. have been 

 making numerous shipments of sweet 

 peas to florists at outside points around

The Market. 



There was little increase in the de- 

 mand for flowers due to St. Patrick's 

 day; in fact, this saint's day is not ex- 

 tensively observed here. Only a few 

 stores displayed potted shamrocks. 

 The usual number of green tinted 

 blooms were sold. 



The demand for funeral offerings con- 

 tinues good. The request "Please omit 

 flowers" is seldom seen in obituary 

 notices and when it does appear often 

 is disregarded. As the season advances 

 the call for roses is getting lighter. 

 Potted tulips are plentiful and good. 

 A fair supply of excellent carnations is 

 coming in and is cleaned up without 

 loss. There is a full supply of cut 

 callas and Easter lilies. The azaleas 

 shown are quite fully bloomed and 

 there may be a shortage of prime plants 

 at Easter. Orchids are in full supply, 

 Cattleya Trianae leading. There is an 

 oversupply of cinerarias. Outdoor daf- 

 fodils are abundant and cheap. Spring 

 work on lawns and parkings is being 

 rushed and the nurserymen are busy. 

 The days are warm, with showers now 

 and then, and no firing is needed except 

 for tender plants or for forcing. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society was held March 16, with 

 a good attendance, at its headquarters 

 in Masonic Temple. The current finan-
