The Florists' Review 



ti 



every week, and is getting* into shape 

 for the bowling contest at the 8. A. F. 

 convention. 



Chas. Stappenbeck has been receiv- 

 ing some fine roses this season from 

 L. G. Gardner, of Oakland, and makes 

 the claim of having the finest in the 

 city. He is especially well satisfied 

 with Ophelia, of which he has had a 

 good supply of fine stock all through 

 the winter.

The Market. 



The weather last week was the warm- 

 est for March since 1886, and, as a 

 consequence, stock intended for Easter 

 trade has been forced so rapidly the 

 growers have been kept busy putting 

 potted stock into cooler quarters to 

 hold it back. Benched stock, too, is 

 maturing prematurely. Fruit blossoms 

 of many kinds are to be had, and the 

 demand for them is strong, causing a 

 falling off in the sale of carnations and 

 roses. All sorts of indoor cut flowers 

 are in oversupply. No slump in prices, 

 however, has resulted. Locally grown 

 violets, especially the double varieties, 

 are off color from the effects of the 

 heat. Blooming hydrangeas sell well 

 and tulips, hyacinths and outdoor daffo- 

 dils are in demand. Perennials, hardy 

 ornamentals and orchard stock are more 

 in demand than usual. The call for 

 orchids, amaryllis and other expensive 

 flowers is light. Sweet peas are prime 

 and are moving well. While the unex- 

 pected warm spell has brought out con- 

 siderable stock ahead of time, there is 

 enough in sight for the Easter rush. 

 Business has been brisk with the retail 

 seed and nursery concerns. 



Varioua Notes. 



R. C. Cook is displaying some attrac- 

 tive Azalea mollis grown by the Wood- 

 mere Floral Co. 



George Betz has a flower store at 697 

 Union avenue and grows most of his 

 stock in a range of greenhouses at- 

 tached to the store. He reports busi- 

 ness good and says he is kept busy 

 making deliveries. 



Tonseth Floral Co. is showing laven- 

 der rhododendrons in full bloom. 



Martin & Forbes Co. has in its win- 

 dow display a red azalea, Ernest Enck- 

 haute, which has a tint quite different 

 from the other varieties. 



Several vases of Narcissus poeticus 

 are now seen in the stores. 



Rahn & Herbert Co. is sending in 

 some good Cecile Brunner roses. 



William Borsch, of Hillsdale, says he 

 is selling more perennials this year than 

 usual. He has been shipping quantities 

 of them into the interior towns of 

 Washington and Oregon. 



G. Teufel, who has a range of green- 

 houses near Kings Heights, says he is 

 well satisfied with the season 's business. 

 He grows large quantities of carnations^ 

 and greens, which he says he has dis-'^ 

 posed of without waste. He has de- 

 veloped a rose-pink sport of Carnation 

 Victory, which he grows successfully. 



Wood & Scott have started business 

 at their new greenhouse near Columbia 

 park. They retail their products at the 

 , greenhouse. 



Routledge Seed & Floral Co. has im- 



*.:> pprted from Englaijkd some shoe nozzles
