The Florists' Review 



71 



The Mountain View Floral Co. is get- 

 ting its new place at Linnaman sta- 

 tion in fine shape. The company has 

 :about 75,000 grafted rose plants, which 

 will be ready for distribution this fall. 



Stock for Easter is looking fine tnis 

 year and the indications are'^that there 

 will be plenty of it. Window arrange- 

 ments for St' Patrick's day were seen 

 ■on all sides. While green carnations 

 "were used considerably, they are wan- 

 ing in popularity. E. R. C. 



SAN FRANCISCO, ■ CAL. 



The Market. 



When one views profuse display of 

 :fruit blossoms, wild flowers, bulbous 

 stock and spring flowers, along with 

 Jong-stemmed roses, carnations, peonies, 

 ■etc., one cannot help but wish that the 

 Lenten Season could be put oflP until 

 a time when nature has less floral 

 grandeur to offer. Our retail stores 

 have not been--Mo overtaxed for recep- 

 tacles for many a day. The market at 

 this writing, offers Bermuda lilies in 

 ;great quatttitiEs.rr The series of warm 

 •days has rushed them in a little pre- 

 maturely. Boses of all varieties are 

 in abundance. Least perfect, perhaps, 

 at this time are Beauties. We have, 

 however, a fine lot of long-stemmed 

 Killarneys and good Richmonds, also 

 many well grown Radiance. It might 

 'be said here that Radiance has found 

 immediate favor among the western 

 flower connoisseurs, and its new shade 

 has made it an attractive seller. Mi- 

 lady is also particularly sought. Yel- 

 low roses, such as Aaron Ward and 

 Lady Hillingdon, do not move so well, 

 due, undoubtedly, to the presence of 

 so much of the yellow color on. the 

 market. 



All classes of bulbous stock grace our 

 shops. Jonquils are in oversupply. 

 Tulips are fine in quality but not suffi- 

 cient in quantity or of long enough 

 stems for high-class work. Narcissi 

 are in good supply, and unusually popu- 

 lar this year has been the snowdrop. 

 Freesias are thinning out and less per- 

 fef-t. We have good supplies of flower- 

 ing quince, cherry and crab-apple. 

 <I!ecile Brunner roses are a commodity 

 -of the past, inasmuch as the shipments 

 to the eastern states have made it im- 

 possible to handle the flowers on a pay- 

 ing basis in San Francisco. Valley has 

 dropped in price and is not in large 

 supply. Added to this are unlimited 

 ■quantities of acacias, lilacs, potted 

 lilies, rhododendrons, camellias, sweet 

 peas, ranunculus, marigolds, primulas, 

 sweet peas and violets. There is no 

 end to the variety of cut flowers avail- 

 able. The outlook for Easter is quite 

 encouraging. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Hjjrtieultural Society, held on 

 the evening of March 7, proved to be 

 one of unusual interest. Two move- 

 ments for the betterment of the society 

 were the adoption of lectures on horti- 

 •culture for the regular meeti^^s, and 

 also the appointment of a committee 

 of five to circularize and advertise in 

 every way possible the desirability , of 

 securing for San Francisco the 1915 

 convention. 



Interesting exhibits were made at the 

 meeting by the MacRorie-McLaren Co., 

 which displayed a vase of Phalapnojisis 

 amabilis, for which the company was 

 awarded 96 points. The flower spikes
