The Florists' Review 



Fkbrlarv 6, 1913. 



fine Narcissus Von Sion and other 

 bulbous flowers from the Montebello 

 rancn. 



Morris Goldenson and his capable 

 manager, John Gordon, believe in the 

 square deal to the public. They have 

 not raised the price of carnations dur- 

 ing the recent scarcity, their contrncta 

 being filled to the letter by their grow- 

 ers. Such a policy is bound' to have a 

 good effect on the business at the store. 



John Bubach, the energetic repre- 

 sentative of Lion & Co., New York, 

 has been calling on the trade in this 

 city and in the northern part of the 

 state, leaving here at the beginning of 

 February for Salt Lake and Denver, 

 after a short trip to San Diego. Mr. 

 Bubach reports good business all along 

 the line. He makep friends rapidly 

 everywhere, owing to his clean-cut 

 business methods and the excellent 

 line he carries. 



The new market run by the Japa- 

 nese growers is a busy place these days 

 and Mr. Tamati, the manager, is evi- 

 dently a live wire. Many thousands 

 of bunches of violets are disposed of 

 every morning in short order. 



The Los Angeles Flower Market is 

 handling magnificent stock now. Eoaes 

 and orchids are leaders, but immense 

 lots of Easter lilies, both cut and in 

 pots, are also sold. Business shows a 

 large increase over that of last year 

 notwithstanding the shortage of out- 

 door stock, thus indicating the stable 

 quality of the trade. 



Howard & Smith report exceedingly 

 heavy orders on all classes of goode, 

 especially nursery stock, and their big 

 Packard trucks are running full speed 

 late and early. 



Wright's Flower Shop is showing 

 particularly good azaleas, small, but 

 bright and well flowered.

Tbe Market. 



This section of California is grad- 

 ually getting back to pleasant weather 

 conditions again, and if the improve- 

 ment continues we may expect plenty 

 of flowers in a few days. .Not that 

 stock is particularly scarce even now, 

 but it certainly has been scarce for the 

 last three weeks. Narcissi and vari- 

 ous kinds of daffodils are being brought 

 into town in large lots and, while not 

 yet at their best, they give everything 

 a springtime aspect that seems to be 

 gratifying to the flower-buying public. 



For the last three or four weeks car- 

 nations and roses have been more ex- 

 pensive than they were at Christmas. 

 This was due to the cold snap in Jan- 

 uary. Violets showed the effects of it 

 also, and are not yet at their best. 

 Valley, Romans and freesias are prob- 

 ably the most popular flowers where 

 white stock is wanted, and they move 

 rapidly. Quite a lot of early tulips are 

 shown, but they do not sell as well as 

 the daffodils. Orchids, cape jasmine 

 and a few other items are in about the 

 same condition as they have been for 

 some time. With the approach of Lent 

 there have been plenty of doings in the 

 society whirl here, and these, with a 

 good sprinkling of funeral orders, have 

 kept everyone busy.
