The Florists' Review 



April 24, 1913 



A window full of Gesneriana tulips 

 was quite a draw recently, the stock 

 having been purchased from the Los 

 Angeles Flower Market. 



H, R. Richards. 



SAN FBANCISO, CAL. 



The Market. 



Everything is active except trade and 

 that is not what we should like to have 

 it. Plants of all. seasonable kinds are 

 as plentiful as one could desire them. 

 There is for the first time this year a 

 shortage of nothing that should be in 

 bloom at this time. Violets are about 

 over, however, and another couple of 

 weeks will end them for the season. 

 Lilac is plentiful and good and moves 

 well. Spring bulbous stock is on the 

 wane. There is nothing now except 

 late-blooming tulips and iris. Freesias 

 and hyacinths are over for the year. 

 Inside roses and carnations are plenti- 

 ful, but the prices are not quite as good 

 as they were one year ago. Fruit blos- 

 soms are being used quite extensively 

 for decorating. Lilies and valley are in 

 good supply and move fairly well. 

 Orchids are plentiful and are in steady 

 demand. Other lines of stock are about 

 as usual. 



Various Notes. 



The large beds of late-flowering tulips 

 and hyacinths in Golden Gate park 

 attract throngs of visitors during these 

 warm spring days. 



A visit to the recently established 

 nursery of Henry Kempf, at Colma, 

 shows that wonderful progress is being 

 made and a great deal of propagating 

 is being done. This nursery was re- 

 cently moved there from San Francisco, 

 where it had been established for over 

 forty years. 



Podesta & Baldocchi have had some 

 stunning window displays of orchids 

 during the last few days. Much of the 

 stock is from the houses of J. A. Car- 

 bone, at West Berkeley. 



The recently enacted alien land laws 

 of California may have the eflPect of 

 curtailing somewhat the number of 

 Japanese growers, who have almost the 

 entire carnation growing industry in the 

 neighborhood of San Francisco. 



E. Wagner, of San Lorenzo, Cal., is 

 bringing into town some of the finest 

 late tulips and Spanish iris ever seen 

 here. 



E. J. Roberts, formerly of Los An- 

 geles, is in San Francisco and has the 

 intention of permanently residing here.

. The Market. 



Business conditions have been nor- 

 mal. There is little to create a de- 

 mand other than a general counter trade 

 and funeral work. There is plenty of 

 stock. Roses are unusually fine, Maid 

 especially, with stems measuring from 

 twenty-four to thirty inches, with the 

 flowers in proportion. Beauties are 

 showing fine color and form. While 

 these are not especially profitable in 

 this section, they serve as a novelty. 

 Carnations are plentiful in all varieties, 

 yet the standard of prices is maintained 

 for choicer stock. Outside tulips are 

 coming in, but are rather short for com- 

 mercial purposes. Inside stock has about 

 given out.

Various Notes. 



C. S. Crego says the aster seed sales 

 have been good, except in the middle 

 west, which he attributes to the flood 

 conditions. 



Wm. Schaumann has decided to give 

 up his business venture here and go to 

 San Francisco. He thinks there is a 

 larger field there for his line of work. 



There is considerable complaint on 

 the poor results with tulips this year. 

 One reputable grower failed entirely on 

 account of the inferior bulbs, yet they 

 paid for first-class stock. 



Niklas & Son have a nice lot of yellow 

 callas displayed in the window. 



The Swiss Floral Co. reports outside 

 work plentiful. About thirty men are 

 kept busy all the tinie. This enterpris- 

 ing concern finds this a profitable fea- 

 ture of the business.
