The Florists' Review 



Mabch 26, 1914. 



general appearance. The show win- 

 dows, which formerly covered consider- 

 able floor space, have been cut prac- 

 tically in two and also finished with a 

 tile floor. The workroom has been 

 screened from the main store with at- 

 tractive fittings. The whole atmos- 

 phere presen<-ed by the new alterations 

 is one of refreshment and shows Mr. 

 Bossi's general good taste. 



The Fairmount Floral Co. has made 

 a few alterations in its store, screen- 

 ing ofp the workshop from the view of 

 the customers. The company's automo- 

 bile, we understand, is to have a new 

 body, unique in design, and painted 

 white. This firm featured green carna- 

 tions for St. Patrick's day, and Mr. 

 Avansino reports having sold 125 

 dozen. 



Mr. Garbitt, of Darling's Flower 

 Shop, in Los Angeles, has been inspect- 

 ing Easter stock at the different nurs- 

 eries around the bay. He seemed im- 

 mensely pleased with the progress of 

 the growers and florists in San Fran- 

 cisco, this being his first real tour of 

 inspection. 



J. E. Fotheringham, who is now per- 

 manently established on the Pacific 

 coast, representing several of the lead- 

 ing eastern houses, has just booked an 

 extensive order for ribbons, etc., for 

 the Francis Floral Co., a new establish- 

 ment launched by Mr. Schlotzhauer, on 

 Powell street. 



Daniel MacRorie, of the MacRorie- 

 McLaren Co., is sojourning in Santa 

 Barbara and Los Angeles, where he is 

 trying to secure stock for his many 

 large orders. 



Ralph Stevens, of the University of 

 California, is preparing for a trip to 

 Los Angeles, where he will deliver lec- 

 tures on landscape gardening and hor- 

 ticulture to many of the leading socie- 

 ties in the south. W. A. H.

The Market. 



Conditions are improving slightly and 

 the call for flowers has been brisker 

 during the last week. There is not the 

 same glut in stock of some varieties and 

 trade is certainly better. Carnations 

 are in fair demand and the quality is 

 all that could be desired. Roses are 

 fairly plentiful and home-grown violets 

 are having a short period of brisk de- 

 mand before their season closes. The 

 market for bulbous stock never was 

 worse than this year and now outdoor- 

 grown narcissi are flooding the market, 

 to the detriment of inside stock. An 

 early spring has brought these flowers 

 into bloom three weeks earlier than 

 last year. The supply of lilies for 

 Easter appears to be plentiful, although 

 some growers will have to keep them 

 fairly warm to get them in in time, 

 but with an unknown quantity in the 

 hands of the Japanese growers, it looks 

 as if high prices would not prevail this 

 year. The Japanese are becoming a 

 serious proposition in the flower trade 

 here; they are satisfied with lower 

 prices than a white man can grow stock 

 for in most instances, and judging by 

 some of their products seen this year, 

 they are not behind the white man 

 in the matter of producing good flowers.

 cumbers from his plants at Brighton
