The Florists^ Review 



January 9, 1913. 



US, for, following his directions, we 

 came to a ditch big enough to stop a 

 bulb salesman, but the big yellow car 

 makes little of such obstructions and a 

 few miles of good road brought us to 

 Lawndale and Frank Speakman's place. 

 Here Mr. Speakman and his partner, 

 Mr. Dille, were busy taking the after-

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather has turned slightly 

 warmer, after a spell of several days 

 of frosts. Although not severe at any 

 time, it has been enough to stop out- 

 side growth and as a consequence we 

 have nothing to show outdoors except 

 narcissi and violets. Of the latter, 

 although the flowers are not quite so 

 plentiful as they have been, there is 

 enough to meet all requirements. In- 

 side stock since the holidays has been 

 piling up in many quarters. Roses 

 are a shade more plentiful than they 

 usually are in the month of January, 

 but carnations have advanced in price 

 fully twenty-five per cent since our 

 last quotations. There is no scarcity 

 of them, as one might think from the 

 fact that they have advanced, and it is 

 the season, apparently, rather than the 

 scarceness which appeals to the grow- 

 ers. Romans and valley are in good 

 form and color and move fairly well. 

 Other varieties of inside stock have ad- 

 vanced slightly in the last two weeks, 

 but are bound to lower in price in a 

 short time. 



Now that the principal holidays are 

 over, it might be well to recapitulate. 

 Christmas trade was much better than 

 that of New Year's day and practi- 

 cally everyone was sold out of stock. 

 The trade during the holidays, from 

 all accounts, was for cheaper articles, 

 but the aggregate was well up to last 

 season.

THE CALIFORNIA QUARANTINE. 



Our attention has been called to a 

 news item on page 54 of the issue of 

 The Review for December 19, relative 

 to the destruction of plants shipped 

 into California from North Carolina 

 infested with Aleyrodes nubifera, or 

 white fly. 



A short time ago the state of Cali- 

 fornia passed a quarantine preventing 

 the shipment into California of any 

 trees, plants, vines, etc., from the states 

 of North Carolina, South Carolina, 

 Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, 

 Louisiana and Texas, because of the 

 white flies. Very recently, December 

 17, this quarantine order was amended 

 to include only the plants known to be 

 the hosts of the white flies, Aleyrodes 

 nubifera and Aleyrodes citri. We en- 

 close this quarantine order, which gives 

 quite a long list of infested plants. 



It is not the intent of the California 

 State Commissioner of Horticulture to

Whereas, we have information from the en- 

 tomologists of the United States Agricultural 

 Experiment Stations of the South Atlantic and 

 Oulf States that tbls same white fly, Aleyrodea 

 citrl. Is widely distributed In North Carolina, 

 South Carolina, Oeorgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis-

Whereas, it hns been received into California 

 on nursery stock from North Carolina and 

 Mississippi; and, 



Whereas, another species of the white fly, 

 Aleyrodes nubifera. Is present in Florida; and. 



Whereas, both of these white flies are serious 

 pests, being regarded in Florida as second to 

 none in their Injurious work on citrus and 

 other trees; and, 



Whereas, there is great danger of Introducing 

 Aleyrodes cltrl Into the citrus groves of Cali- 

 fornia on plants or nursery or ornamental stock, 

 if such stock serves as host plants of the citrua 

 white fly, from each of the states aforesaid at 

 the present time; and. 



Whereas, there la danger of said Aleyrodes

Therefore It is ordered and declared, that a
