The Florists' Review 



n 



of the Los Angeles Flower Market at 

 Easter, with the proprietors, Charles 

 Morton and Fred Sperry, in the fore- 

 ground. 



LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Trade is dull, much more so than is 

 usual at this time of year, and growers 

 are somewhat discouraged. In the re- 

 tail stores the low prices at which stock 

 can be purchased help to soothe the 

 feelings, especially when some good fu- 

 neral work appears, but business all 

 around is on the quiet side and the flo- 

 rists' business as much so as any. The 

 stock on hand is about the same as 

 last noted, except that some nice gla- 

 ' dioli have appeared. The great heat of 

 a few days ago practically finished the 

 tulij)8 and also burned up much of the 

 Spanish iris. 



Various Notes. 



Walter Garbett, manager of Dar- 

 ling's Flower Shop, secured the work 

 at the Merritt-Polk wedding, one of 

 the best here for many months. The 

 wedding was at St. John's church, and 

 all the decorations were carried out 

 in Delft colors. The bride's bouquet 

 was of lily of the valley, orchids, for- 

 get-me-nots and Cecile Brunner roses, 

 tied with imported spun glass ribbon 

 and shadow lace. The other bouquets 

 were of similar color, but smaller. The 

 amount paid for bouquets alone was 

 over $400. Mr. Garbett is, of course, 

 in full charge of all business matters 

 connected with this busy store. 



C. C. Wooden, formerly bookkeeper 

 for W. Armacost & Co. and more re- 

 cently for the H. N. Gage Co., has left 

 Los Angeles for Baltimore and his 

 place at the Gage store has been filled 

 bv A. J. Burchett. The gladioli han- 

 dled here are especially good. 



Wolfskin's & Morris Goldenson fur- 

 nished the pall for the O'Neil funeral, 

 using over 1,000 lily of the valley and 

 a large number of orchids. 



James O'Reilly, until recently with 

 J. W. Welters and previously at 

 Wright's Flower Shop, was married 

 April 14 to Miss Florence Becker. 

 They will make their home at San Fer- 

 nando. 



Fred Sperry has again been on the 

 sick list. 



Robert Shenk is no longer with the 

 Los Angeles Flower Market. 



The annual spring show of the Santa 

 Monica Women's Club was held April 

 21 and was a great success. Colum- 

 bia hall was filled with a choice gath- 

 ering of flowers of all kinds, well ar- 

 ranged and of good quality. The group 

 of roses, rhododendrons and other flow- 

 ers put up by W. Armacost & Co. was 

 excellent in every particular. I never 

 saw American Beauty roses more ar- 

 tistically displayed than they were by 

 this firm's capable decorator on the 

 side of the stage. The judges were C. 

 Morton, W. Felgate and H. R. Rich- 

 ards, all of whom later in the day had 

 an enjoyable visit to the Armacost 

 greenhouses at Sawtelle. 



Following the distribution of their 

 catalogue, immense numbers of young 

 roses are being shipped from the Die- 

 terich & Turner range, at Montebello, 

 and according to H. Turner this will 

 be a record season along this line. 



Frank Wilhelm reports unusually 

 large sales of chrysanthemum cuttings.
