The Florists^ Review 



April 17, 1913. 



of it out of shape. In a little over 

 two years Mr. Bridgford has made a 

 fine showing and he will soon be a 

 power to be reckoned with. 



J. Mieuli, of C. C. Navlet Co., San 

 Jose, was married March 30 and has 

 been making a honeymoon trip, visiting" 

 this city, among others. He reports 

 business good. 



C. E. Morton and several others in 

 the trade took a round trip to Long 

 Beach and Wilmington, calling on 

 Charles Brazee at the latter place and 

 on Herbert Morton at Liong Beach. Mr. 

 Morton reports business good for the 

 season, though falling off a little as 

 the tourists leave. At Mr. Brazee 's 

 the tulips were grand, the many fine 

 varieties being now at their best. The 

 trip, taken in Mr. Morton's new Buick, 

 was exceedingly enjoyable. 



Trade is brisk with Morris Golden- 

 son and he has lots of fine stock. The 

 orders for the funeral of one well 

 known business man in the town to- 

 taled seventy-three pieces, many of 

 them of an elaborate character. 



Business keeps up well at the Los 

 Angeles flower market. The number 

 of daffodils handled here this season 

 totaled around 750,000. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is receiving fine 

 stock now from the Montebello ranch 

 in considerable variety. The stocks 

 and ranunculus are especially good. 



Polder & Groen are cutting heavily 

 on good snapdragons. Their forget- 

 me-nots in pots are also pretty and 

 sell well. H. E. Richards.

The Market. 



The spring avalanche of flowers has 

 arrived. Lilac, both purple and white, 

 is now at its best and is a good selling 

 article. Spanish iris, in a host of col- 

 ors, many of them new to this coast, is 

 also in big demand. Late flowering 

 outside-grown tulips are making a much 

 bigger showing than the earlier inside- 

 grown stock. Fruit blossoms, sweet 

 peas and late flowering daffodils help 

 to swell the showing, which, owing to 

 the favorable weather conditions, is the 

 best ever seen in San Francisco. Most 

 of the hyacinths are over and the vio- 

 lets are getting fewer daily. Inside 

 roses have gotten over the setback of 

 last month and the spring crop is well 

 under way. Carnations could not be 

 improved upon and the prices are low 

 throughout. Maidenhair ferns and as- 

 paragus are feeling the effects of the 

 warmer weather and the growers are 

 beginning to be more prodigal with the 

 sizes of the bunches sent to the retail- 

 ers. Business, however, is not as flour- 

 ishing as we should like to see it and 

 with the exception of funeral work 

 there is little doing. 



Various Notes. 



The California Retail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation held its regular moi^thly meet- 

 ing April 7, at Native Sons ' hall. There 

 was a large attendance and a pleasant 

 time for everyone. 



Tb% planting of trees and various 

 shrubs at the Panama Pacific Exposi- 

 tion site is going on at a lively rate 

 under the supervision of John McLaren 

 and assistants.
