The Florists' Review 



April 1, 1915. 



)T5S^ 



SAN FRANCISCO NO: 



[OoDtlnaed from pasre 71.] 



Co., is making a large planting of dah- 

 lias and gladioli. 



Fred Burki, of Pittsburgh, Pa., left 

 last week for Portland, Ore. 



Carl Purdy, at Ukiah, has a fine crop 

 of Darwin tulips, daffodils and other 

 bulbous stock, the supply of which at 

 nearby points is giving out. A good 

 deal of Air. Purdy 's stock is being 

 shown here by the Hogan-Koovman Co. 



The Misses Hannon, at 14.38 Polk 

 street, say the exposition has so far 

 been a detriment to the house trade, as 

 most San Francisco people are spending 

 as much time as possible out at the 

 grounds. They look for a substantial 

 improvement, however, as the season 

 advances. 



Lundberg's Flower Shop, on Polk 

 street, did some decorative work in the 

 New York state building at the expo- 

 sition last week. 



Cleis & Jacobsen, formerly at Fill- 

 more and McAllister streets, have been 

 located on Fillmore, near Haight street, 

 about a year, and feel that they have 

 a much better location than the old 

 one. 



Navarret Bros., who some time ago 

 sold out the New Rosery, at California 

 and Devisadero streets, to Louis 

 Ghiotto, resumed business about three 

 weeks ago at 1422 Haight street, under 

 the name of the Sunset Floral Co., and 

 are getting nicely started in their new 

 location. The store which they formerly 

 conducted was recently taken over by 

 Mr. Olson. 



H. E. Hallawell, of the Hallawell 

 Seed Co., says business has been rush- 

 ing this month, making up for the dull 

 times of February. The heaviest run, 

 he says, is on fruit trees and vegetable 

 seeds, though he has a good demand 

 for plants for bedding, flower seeds 

 and bulbs. 



Mr. Cohen, of Cohen & Figone, in 

 the Ferry building, says business is 

 not all that it should be, as there have 

 been too many street venders for the 

 last six months, and there are too many 

 flowers grown for the probable business, 

 but he believes the exposition will help 

 greatly later on. 



The town of San Leandro, Cal., will 

 hold its second annual flower show 

 April 9 and 10, in the auditorium of 

 tlie San Leandro grammar school. Wild 

 flowers from all parts of the state will 

 be shown, and a number of prizes are 

 offered for garden exhibits. 



G. H. Evans, of 323 Clement street, 

 has purchased a 40-acre place near Oc- 

 cidental, Cal., where he expects to make 

 his home. A. P. B. 



Marshfield, Ore. — For March 6, annual 

 clean-up day in this city, a committee 

 made arrangements with the Drews 

 Floral Co. for the latter to supply rose- 

 bushes to the citizens at reduced prices. 

 Over 1,000 bushes were disposed of, 

 and a large quantity of shrubbery.

RADIUM MAKES 

 THINGS GROW 



Every florist who sells Radium 

 Brand Fertilizer (R. A. F.) can 

 add to his profits. It is in handy 

 package form, easily displayed, 

 and has the greatest selling ar- 

 Kument in the world back of it— 

 the fact that it has Radium 

 in it. One pound will fertilize 

 50 SQ. ft., or a plot 5x10 ft. 



has been thoroughly tested on 

 K)0-acre farm, in conservatories, 

 gardens, etc. In fact, scientists 

 in Europe and Amer- 

 ica have been testing 

 the effect of Radium 

 upon plant life for ten 

 .vears. In addition to 

 its wonderful beneficial 

 effects, it has been dis- 

 covered that where Ra- 

 dium Brand Fertilizer 

 (R. A. F.) was used, 

 plants suffered less from 

 soil parasites, especial- 

 l.v cutworms.
