The Florists^ Review 



July 1, 1915. 



stock by, the smaller growers are ex- 

 tremely heavy, and only long or extra 

 fine roses show any firmness in the 

 market. Cecile Brunner and Sunburst 

 still do well. 



A big crop of Lilium giganteum is 

 appearing, much of it trashy and slow 

 to move. Several other kinds of lilies 

 are also appearing and take fairly well. 

 Valley is scarce. Gardenias are nothing 

 extra in size, but are still good and a 

 large cut sells readily. Orchids are 

 hardly so plentiful, but as good as ever 

 in quality; the demand is good. Hy- 

 drangeas continue the most prominent 

 of potted plants. Boston ferns and 

 other potted greens find ready sale. 

 There is a large shipping business in 

 Asparagus plumosus. 



Various Notes. 



B. M. Joseph has the sympathy of the 

 San Francisco trade on account of the 

 death of his wife, who passed away 

 June 21, after an illness of several 

 months. Many of the florists sent floral 

 offerings to the funeral, Which took 

 place Wednesday, June 23. Joseph's 

 establishment was closed Tuesday and 

 Wednesday. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, made a, 

 visit to the San Francisco trade last 

 week. 



Frank Pelicano is bringing in a lot 

 of potted yellow callas from his own 

 garden. They find some demand as a 

 novelty, though no effort is made to sell 

 them in a large way. Mr. Pelicano has 

 a second crop of Panama gladioli that 

 will be ready in a few weeks, the first 

 crop being off. He reports considerable 

 success with Teddy, Jr., ferns, having 

 disposed of a large lot from his houses. 



Mr. Kooyman, of the Hogan-Kooy- 

 man Co., reports the booking of many 

 substantial orders for Purity freesia 

 bulbs during the last few weeks. 



J. W. Wolters, of Los Angeles, made 

 a short visit in San Francisco last 

 week on his way home from Honolulu. 



Joseph's shop is making a handsome 

 showing of Lilium auratum, believed 

 to be the first of the season. 



Ferrari 'Bros., of the Ocean View dis- 

 trict, have a fine crop of Lilium gi- 

 ganteum, about the best ever brought 

 in here at this time of year. 



J. Edward Johnson, of the Pikes Peak 

 Floral Co., Colorado Springs, Colo., is 

 visiting San Francisco and the exposi- 

 tion. 



R. E. Dunleavy, who recently took a 

 partnership in the flower shop of Witt 

 & Dunleavy, in Alameda, has filed suit 

 for dissolution of -the partnership. He 

 charges that he was induced to invest 

 v500, and on investigating found the 

 business in bad shape, and that his 

 partner absconded, leaving him with an 

 undesirable business on his hands. 



C. W. Ward, the nurseryman of New 

 York and Eureka, Cal., is stopping in 

 San Francisco this week. 



F. J. Elder, assistant manager for 

 Lord & Burnham Co., Irvington, N. Y., 

 is calling on the San Francisco trade. 



The lawn of the convention garden 

 in Golden Gate park is now coming up 

 nicely. Many of the exhibits have al- 

 ready been installed and the plants are 

 in good shape. 



The Gill Nursery Co., of West Berke- 

 ley, has been sending a lot of Irish 

 Elegance roses into th^ market this year 

 and the buds are T>rOTihg quite popular,

The Market. 



Cool, showery weather has held back 

 the approach of summer conditions. 

 Inside-grown stock continues to com^ 

 in showing good quality, better than 

 usual at this season. The supply of 

 carnations about equals the demand; 

 they have good color and stems, and 

 are nearly prime in size. Valley is 

 scarce. Orchids are in full supply. 

 Roses are still abundant. Excellent 

 sweet peas, grown outdoors, are seeri 

 everywhere. Inside - grown gladioli 

 come in nearly in oversupply. Peren- 

 nials, such as coreopsis, gaillardias, 

 Shasta daisies, delphiniums, calendulas 

 and gypsophilas, are plentiful and are 

 used a great deal in decorations and 

 bouquets. 



Many eastern people are stopping a 

 few days on their way to and from 

 the exposition, and a large number of 

 orders for Portland roses to be shipped 

 to eastern friends have come from 

 them. 



The public schools held their gradu- 

 ating exercises last week, and the high 

 school girl graduates carried arm bou- 

 quets. The orders for these have in 

 most cases been given to the lowest 

 bidder for the lot, an arrangement 

 which is not advocated by the florists. 

 The school authorities frown on the 

 use of flowers at the exercises in the 

 grade schools, and but few are used. 

 They try also to prevent the use of 

 flowers other than arm bouquets in the 

 high schools. These rules are to some 

 extent disregarded, but the florists lose 

 a great deal of business by them. The 

 quantity of flowers used at social 

 events and funerals has been no more 

 than normal. 



In potted plants, a few hydrangeas 

 are still seen. Gloxinias and fancy 

 bedding varieties are offered. 



Various Notes. 



L. C. Shearer, who built a range of 

 two houses at East Sixty-second and 

 Powell Valley road last year, took out 

 his benches of carnations after Easter 

 and put in tomatoes and cucumbers. 

 He plans to make the same rotation
