The Florists^ Review 



Febbdaky 19, 1914. 



Many of the rose bushes have roses on 

 them, which were the immature buds 

 of last summer's crop. If placed in a 

 vase, well developed, fairly nice roses 

 could be had, considering conditions.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Market conditions have experienced a 

 decided change, owing to a succession 

 of bright days. Roses are again at a 

 normal price and in good supply. 

 Among the best are Russells, American 

 Beauties and Killarneys. There has 

 been a heavy influx of spring flowers 

 during the week. Particularly strong 

 has been the offering of daffodils and 

 the market for these is unsettled. Vend- 

 ers arc selling them at ridiculously low 

 figures. Largo quantities of flowering 

 fruits are available; acacias also are ar- 

 riving in profusion. Tulips are coming 

 in gradually and are excellent sellers. 

 Freesias are deteriorating in quality 

 and are not moving as rapidly as last 

 week. Violets are still fairly good sell- 

 ers, particularly in conjunction with 

 jonquils. Cattleya Trianse is still in 

 good supply, but the flowers are not so 

 large and perfect as during the early 

 part of .January. The Irish Fire Flame 

 rose, of recent adoption, has ceased to 

 be a novelty and is much sought for. 

 Fine sprays of daphne are among the 

 offerings of the week and prove to be 

 wonderfully good sellers. 



Club Meeting. 



The meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society was held Feb- 

 ruary 7. An important feature of the 

 evening was the installation of the of- 

 ficers for the ensuing year, which was 

 impressively conducted by J. W. Bagge. 

 The officers are as follows: President, 

 H. Plath; vice-president, Thomas Tay- 

 lor; corresponding secretary, Walter A. 

 Hofinghoff; financial secretary, B. 

 Meyer; treasurer, Donald McLaren; li- 

 brarian, H. Kempf ; ushers, D. Raymond 

 and .John Pos; trustee, John McLarep. 



The following new members were in- 

 itiated: Charles Rice, Gerrard Samson, 

 W. Ehrich. Gardner A. Dailey, A, H. 

 Serveau, Peter A. De Vries, Andrew 

 Butvil and Frank Thatcher. 



The monthly exhibition included a 

 finely flowered Cattleya Triana; contain- 

 ing forty blooms, exhibited by the Mac- 

 Rorie-McLaren Co. and awarded 95 

 points. Dr. .1. P. Parker, of Santa 

 Cruz, exhibited a plant of Cattleya Tri- 

 anse alba, carrying two flowers, which 

 caused considerable comment and admi- 

 ration. 



Various Notes. 



It is interesting to hear that the flo- 

 rists of Sacramento have organized a 

 horticultural society, with Mark Ebel 

 as president and W. .1. Meldrum as sec- 

 • retary. The object of this society will 

 be to cooperate with the Pacific Coast 

 Horticultural Society of San Francisco, 

 particularly in securing the convention 

 of the Society of American Florists for 

 San Francisco in lOl.*}. The organiza- 

 tion will undoubtedly be of general ben- 

 efit to Sacramento, in improving local 

 conditions. Members of the nursery 

 trade, as well as florists, will be in- 

 cluded in the roll.
