The Florists' Review 



APBIL 16, 1914. 



"tion between the growers and retailers 

 in San Francisco has stood in the way 

 •of correcting the evil. 



There is an excellent supply of Cecile 

 Brunner roses, eastern shipments having 

 ceased, and they have dropped to a 

 xiormal price, retailing at 25 cents for 

 a fine large bunch. We see a great 

 many gardenias around town and they 

 seem to be selling well. Cattleya Mos- 

 siffi is beginning to put in an appear- 

 ance, but not in sufficient quantities to 

 jsupply the demands. We see more 

 Schroederaj and Trianae. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Sehlotzhauer, . of the Francis 

 Floral Co., showed us a new store ar- 

 rangement by opening several bales of 

 hay in his show windows and on his 

 shojp floors. Over these he scattered 

 ■em^ty can covers, giving an additional 

 touch of the barn effect. The effect 

 was unique, to say the least. 



The Fairmont Floral Co. features 

 baskets in the Easter window. This 

 store showed more cut lilies than any 

 -other downtown. 



The Julius Eppstein Co. has as a 

 special attraction a plant of Cypripe- 

 •dium caudatum. Mr. Eppstein 's win- 

 dows always contain something unique 

 and his Easter stock is above the aver- 

 age. 



Podesta & Baldocchi massed ram- 

 bler roses intertwined with delicately 

 shaded ribbons in one window and in 

 the other a profusion of Pink Pearl 

 rhododendrons and spray orchids. The 

 •effect was striking, 



Pelicano, Bossi & Co. show many 

 .skillful creations typical of the season, 

 among others a dexterously constructed 

 "hat with ranunculus as the main flower; 

 also a flower nest of Easter eggs, the 

 •eggs being highly colored tulips. 



Albert O. Stein set in his spacious 

 show window a full sized figure of a 

 model entirely garbed in floral array. 

 Every detail of the costume was car- 

 ried out to perfection and it proved to 

 "be a wonderfully interesting piece. 



The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 ■Coast Horticultural Society was held 

 April 4 and the society was favored 

 with an instructive lecture by Balph T. 

 "Stevens, professor of landscape garden- 

 ing and floriculture at the Universitv 

 of California. May 2 Prof. J. W. Greeg 

 will handle the subject of "Soils and 

 .Fertilizers." A fine specimen of Phal- 

 senopsis Stuartiana was exhibited at 

 the meeting and awarded ninety-eight 

 points. The Ramona rose also was ex- 

 hibited, but the flowers did not show 

 the deep red which is supposed to be 

 characteristic of them. It is possible 

 that the bay climate is not as well 

 adapted for this creation as the climate 

 jn the southern part of the state, where 

 the rose had its origin. Members of 

 the society are looking forward to a 

 banquet and dance to be held at the 

 Fairmont hotel Mav 9. W. H. H.

The Market. 



Writing on the eve of Easter, condi- 

 tions are excellent. The growers seem 

 to have plenty of stock to take care of 

 the demand. Lilies are plentiful and 

 are in a much healthier condition than 

 ip former years. There will be plenty 

 of cut flowers to meet the demand, car- 

 nations being especially abundant. 

 •Owing to a late Eaater, violets are prac- 

 'tically gone, and are being supplanted
