The Florists' Review 



May 1, 1013. 



fornia flowers are shown and the work 

 turned out here is of a high order. 



George Bros., out at Elmhurst, have 

 a novel way of keeping their daffodil 

 bulbs from ripening off too quickly. 

 They allow volunteer barley and oats 

 to come up between the rows and 

 "grow together till harvest," when 

 the whole thing is cut for hay. The 

 brothers George are natives of the 

 flowery Isles of Scilly, off the Land's 

 End, in England, where daffodils are 

 grown by the trainload. 



As a "stranger within the gates," I 

 have to thank all the San Francisco 

 boys for the glad hand and a most 

 pleasant time, only regretting it was all 

 too short.

SAN JOSE, CAL. 



The Market. 



Lack of rain has held business back 

 in the seed and small plant trade here, 

 but the florists are keeping their end 

 up well, having plenty of funeral work 

 and a good transient business. The 

 supply of flowers is good in all lines, 

 making it possible to turn the work 

 out at a profit, and some excellent de- 

 signs are sent out. Bulbous stock is 

 fine, but there seems to be a scarcity of 

 really good roses. Carnations are good. 



Various Notes. 



The Chas. C. NavLet Co.,, the pioneer 

 flower firm of the town, reports busi- 

 ness fine in all lines. J. Mieuli, man- 

 ager of the flower -store, returned from 

 his honeymoon trip April 21 and set- 

 tled down to work, looking fine. At 

 the nursery large numbers of all kinds 

 of plants are grown for the city and 

 mail order trade. The propagating 

 houses are also full of fine stock. I 

 had a most delightful ride through the 

 cherry orchards here with A. E. Buhot, 

 who manages the nursery and mail or- 

 der house. Even in this dry season the 

 country is beautiful, and the miles of 

 fruit orchards of all kinds, and the 

 good, hard roads, make automobiling 

 one of the joys of life. 



I found Arthur Cann up to his eyes 

 in business, funeral work keeping him 

 and his force strictly on the jump. 



The Garden City Bulb Co. is a 

 thriving young concern, run by L. E. 

 Doolittle. At the time of my call his 

 tulips w«re in fine condition. 



San Jose is surely a paradise for the 

 outdoor rose grower. Though well used 

 to California roses, I never before saw 

 such magnificent masses of Gold of 

 Ophir, Beauty of Glazenwood, Chero- 

 kee and such types as are here to be 

 seen scrambling all over large old trees 

 and houses, and simply one mass of 

 flowers. A Chinese wistaria, too, 

 covering entirely an old Monterey 

 cypress thirty-five or forty feet high, 

 and every inch covered with the beau- 

 tiful racemes, was a sight long to be 

 remembered. H. R. Richards. 



SAN DIEGO, CAL. 



Among Growers and Retailers. 



Miss Kate Sessions has long been 

 known and respected in the southland 

 and her place is exceedingly interesting, 

 containing much that is choice and rare 

 in nursery stock. Roses are especially 

 well done here and a magnificent plant 

 of Beauty of Glazenwood, scrambling
