The Florists^ Review 



April 2, 1914. 



15 cents each, which is below the whole- 

 sale price, and is an injustice to the 

 nursery business. E. B. C. 



SAN DIEOO, CAL. 



The Market. 



The French shared the honors with 

 the Irish March 17, the presence of a 

 French battleship in the harbor on St. 

 Patrick's day accounting for this. 

 Business has been fair, but not rushing, 

 and the supply of flowers is about equal 

 to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



At Lanier's I noted an exceptionally 

 fine assortment of outdoor flowers, es- 

 pecially single and double annual chrys- 

 anthemums, phloxes and other annuals, 

 grown on the ranch at Chula Vista. A 

 visit to the ranch with Fortune Lanier 

 showed everything in fine order. Mr. 

 Lanier prides himself, and justly, upon 

 the clean condition of the place. The 

 houses planted to Asparagus plumosus 

 looked fine and the whole place is a 

 credit to the growers. 



Boyle & Darnaud showed a typical 

 Irish table decoration for St. Patrick's 

 day, which was much admired. Some 

 excellent stock in cut flowers and 

 plants, including especially good aza- 

 leas, is being shown, and a look through 

 the growing place at Sutter street 

 showed everything in fine shape. Val- 

 ley is grown in considerable quantity 

 and a varied and healthy collection of 

 orchids can also be seen here. Plants 

 of Cattleya Mossiae and Dendrobium 

 formosum are in flower. 



Miss A. M. Bainford has moved to 

 a larger store next door to her old ad- 

 dress, on Fourth street. 



Chas. E. Morton, of the Los Angeles 

 Flower Market, and Mrs. Morton vis- 

 ited here en route to Brawley. 



A spin through the parks with Super- 

 intendent John Morley showed a mar- 

 velous change in their appearance. The 

 expense of planting in the way Mr. 

 Morley is doing is heavy, but the re- 

 sults amply justify the means, for the 

 trees, shrubs and other plants are al- 

 ready making a magnificent growth.. A 

 large rose and flower garden is being 

 made near the entrance to the exposi- 

 tion grounds, which will be most at- 

 tractive to visitors, but what strikes 

 one most is the wonderful transition 

 from bare, rocky hillside to beautiful 

 parking, drives and flower beds in so 

 short a space of tim . In the propagat- 

 ing houses large quantities of young 

 nursery stock have been raised and the 

 quality in all cases is good. I was glad 

 to find Mrs. Morley much improved in 

 health. H. B. Bichards. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Dull times in the flower business is 

 still the complaint of grower and re- 

 tailer. Stock is too plentiful for the 

 demand, and probably there will not be 

 a revival till after Lent is over, when 

 everyone is looking for better business. 

 Boses and carnations are plentiful and 

 bulbous stock is hardly moving. Lo- 

 cally grown violets are nearly over, and 

 sweet peas are more in evidence. Pot 

 plants move slowly and altogether there 

 is a depressed feeling among those in 

 the trade.
