The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FEBRUAilT 17, 1919. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



The weather has continued to be 

 bright and sunny, except for one day of 

 rain, followed by high winds, which 

 caused a decided drop in the tempera- 

 ture, with frosts at night again. 



The business done has been quite sat- 

 isfactory to all the florists. There have 

 been many weddings and much enter- 

 taining. We used to be told that peo- 

 ple did not die in California, but the 

 florists always seem to be busy doing 

 funeral work, and large designs predomi- 

 nate. 



Flowers of all kinds are plentiful, the 

 continued sunshine bringing out quanti- 

 ties of blooms of good quality. Some 

 of the stores are selling, hothouse carna- 

 tions at 50 cents and 75 cents a dozen, 

 while others are still charging $1. Spring 

 flowers are everywhere and have good 

 sale. Trumpet Majors are now coming 

 in from outside in great abundance. 



The Acacia Baileyana trees are in full 

 bloom just now, and they are indeed a 

 beautiful sight, with their yellow blooms 

 hanging in such graceful profusion. 

 Many of them are seen in the parkings, 

 some streets in Hollywood having rows 

 of them the entire length. The flowers 

 sell in the stores at $1 a dozen. A win- 

 dow of these and the yellow daffodils 

 was especially attractive. 



Various Notes. 



The show greenhouses at East Lake 

 park are gay with poinsettias, azaleas 

 and spring flowers. The superintendent 

 says this has been the coldest winter in 

 many years, and nothing can do well out- 

 side with a difference of 40 degrees be- 

 tween noon and night, as there has been 

 many times. There are many liUes and 

 bulbs of all kinds to be seen in the cold- 

 frames. Marguerites in bloom, all the 

 way from three to twelve feet through, 

 are seen everywhere in this locality. 



Scotch heather plants are shown in the 

 stores. A spineless cactus has been~^l^^ 

 tracting much attention in the Angelus 

 window. 



Morris Goldenson made two palls last 

 week, one of violets and Boman hya- 

 cinths. The larger one was nearly seven 

 feet long. 



H. Von Hofgaarden, proprietor of the 

 Mira Mar Nursery, at Long Beach, has 

 a sales yard with lath houses at 322 

 American avenue. He also has two 

 acres on Tenth street. He sends many 

 fine maidenhair ferns and cyclamens, of 

 which he makes a specialty, to the Los 

 Angeles florists. He came to California 

 three and a half years ago, not knowing 

 a word of our language, but in that 

 short time he has built up a good busi- 

 ness and has become proficient in Eng- 

 lish. S. A. C. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



There has been a decided moderation 

 in the weather. We have had no touches 

 of frost for over a week and the rainy 

 spell has ceased for the present. As a 

 consequence flowers of all kinds are 

 much more plentiful than they have been 

 at any time this year. This is especially 

 noticeable with carnations and roses and

the prices of both these articles have been 

 reduced fully one half. Violets have 

 had a similar fall in a twenty-five per 

 cent reduction. Daffodils are strictly in 

 their prime at present and they can be 

 bought at from 75 cents to $1.50 per 

 hundred. Tulips are in heavy supply 

 and move slowly. Valley is not plenti- 

 ful, but there is quite suflScient for all 

 demands. Narcissi are cheap, but they 

 show the results of the continued cold 

 weather, either in the size of the flowers 

 or in the shortness of the stems. They 

 cost the stores from 75 cents to $1 per 

 hundred. Fruit blossoms and wild 

 flowers have made quite a showing in the 

 shop windows within the last few days 

 and are proving to be good sellers with 

 the flower loving public. 



Easter lilies are being brought into 

 town in fair sized quantities, but they 

 are only of fair quality. The price to 

 the retailers is from $^.50 to $3 per

 asked for them during the next fc^ 

 weeks. 



All kinds of green goods in the fern 

 line have been scarce, but the prospects 

 are for plenty of everything if the pres- 

 ent good weather continues. Business is 

 fair, with splendid prospects for a heavy 

 Easter trade both locally and in the 

 country.
