The Florists^ Review 



Jandabt 16, 1913. 



of Dr. Houghton, J. J. Jones and Ern- 

 est Braunton, was appointed to confer 

 with other local societies with regard to 

 park affairs and other matters of in- 

 terest to all interested in horticulture. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. E. Morton made a trip to San 

 Diego January 7. 



J. GruUemans, of Lisse, Holland, 

 developed a stiff case of the grip when 

 here and had to be doctored at the Hay- 

 ward hotel. He recovered and left for 

 Denver January 8. 



Dieterich & Turner lost a lot of fine 

 stock in the freeze, especially in large 

 specimens of kentias, philodendrons and 

 other decorative stock. 



Howard & Smith lost heavily on 

 tender nursery stock. 



Polder & Groen lost practically their 

 whole stock and everyone feels sorry 

 for these hard-working young men. 



Mr. Cushman, of the Cushman Gladi- 

 olus Co., Sylvania, O., has been in this 

 locality several weeks and has about 

 decided to remain here, or at least to 

 return soon and build a home. His 

 son, Ralph, is also en route to the coast 

 and, should he decide to remain, they 

 will probably buy land and go into 

 the nursery business here or in San 

 Diego. 



Morris Goldenson had a good deal of 

 the work for the opening of the Mo- 

 rosco theater, including an immense 

 panel, suitably inscribed. Azaleas are 

 still making a fine showing here. 



Charles Brazee, of Wilmington, Cal., 

 lost about $700 worth of daffodils, as 

 well as $100 worth of pipe, which burst 

 in the recent freeze. 



J. W. Wolters had a large share of 

 the work at the Dominguez funeral, in- 

 eluding a fine pall of white roses and 

 valley, which was one of the most costly 

 pieces ever turned out here. 



Richard Altman, formerly of the 

 flower department of the Hamburger 

 store, has gone into business for him- 

 self in Phoenix, Ariz., under the style 

 of the Phoenix Florist. He is well sat- 

 isfied with the business so far. 



At the Huntington estate may now 

 be seen the rare spectacle of two species 

 of encephalartos in fruit, namely, E. 

 villosus ampliatus and E. pungens 

 glauca. The cone on the latter, unfor- 

 tunately, was broken in the younger 

 stages. Another interesting sight is a 

 large bed of cyclamens, flowering finely 

 in the open air. They have immense, 

 well colored flowers and foliage like 

 cabbages. The new orchid houses are fin- 

 ished and the plants are in fine condi- 

 tion and flowering freely. A nice white 

 Cattleya Trianse was in flower at the 

 time of my visit. H. R. Richards. 



SAN FSANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



The weather is colder at the present 

 writing than it has been at any time 

 this season. The unusual dry spell at 

 the end of last month finally gave way 

 to quite a bit of rain and this was 

 followed by severe frosts. The effect 

 has been to cause quite a shortage of 

 all kinds of stock. With the close 

 cropping of the -holidays, which fol- 

 lowed ideal weather, we are in the 

 midst of cold nights and colder days. 

 There is nothing outside except violets 

 and these are few and far between, but 

 with the advent of rain they will again

 suffered also. Carnations are poor in 

 color and short in stem. Prices are no 

 higher than they were during holiday 

 week, but the supply is much shorter. 

 Eoses are practically at a standstill, 

 fancy stock being out of the question. 

 There is a fair quantity of short- 

 stemmed seconds, but they are hardly 

 worth the prices asked for them. Nar- 

 cissi, which should be at their best at 

 this time, are absent. Inside grown 

 daffodils, valley and Komans are not

 funeral work has to figure closely. 



The street hucksters are having a 

 hard fight, this cold weather, to get 

 sufficient stock with which to carry on 

 business. Now that the violets are 

 not plentiful, their baskets and stands 

 present rather a sorry appearance.
