The Florists^ Review 



June 19, 1913. 



June 15, when the members were enter- 

 tained at the factories of the (jarden 

 City Pottery Co., at San Jose. 



John Gill, of West BerJ5;eley, and 

 John Vallance, of C. C. Morse & Co., 

 left this week to attend the nursery- 

 men's convention at Portland, Ore. 



Fred Seulberger, horticultural com- 

 missioner of Alameda county, who, with 

 his wife, has been on a trip through 

 Oregon, has returned to his home in 

 Oakland. 



Samuel K. Love has taken charge of 

 the floral establishment of the H. M. 

 Sanborn Co., at Berkeley. 



The California Retail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation held its regular meeting June 9 

 at Native Sons' hall. 



The Thorsted Floral Co. moved into 

 the new Broadway store last week. It 

 is one of the most attractive and well- 

 appointed establishments in Oakland. 



G. 



E. W. McLellan Co. states that it is 

 no longer in any way connected with 

 the Hackel Floral Co. For a few days, 

 while the creditors were coming to an 

 agreement, the McLellan Co. conducted 

 the place in the interests of the cred- 

 itors, but has not taken over the store 

 and is not in the retail business in any 

 way.

The Market. 



Business in general has held out well. 

 There is an abundance of stock of all 

 varieties. Carnations are a glut and 

 it is hard to keep them moving. Yet 

 it will only be a matter of a few weeks, 

 as the stock is rapidly being thrown 

 out. The field stock is small and some 

 time will elapse before it will be 

 reaidy to transplant. Roses are in 

 heavy crop, but the quality is grad- 

 ually being reduced by the effects of 

 the warm weather. Sweet peas are im- 

 proving in quality, with an increasing 

 demand. In miscellaneous stock there 

 is a plenty — gaillardias, delphiniums, 

 daisies, stocks and lupines. Peonies 

 are rapidly passing out of the market; 

 the stock remaining is hardly fit to 

 send out on orderp. Green goods of 

 all kinds are plentiful, maidenhair par- 

 ticularly so. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held .Tune 16. Considerable 

 business was before the house. In 

 commencing the second year of its 

 existence, officers were elected: Presi- 

 dent, F. A. Van Kirk; vice-president, 

 Jas. Forbes; secretary, R. M. Bodley; 

 treasurer, A. .1. Clark. The latter two 

 succeeded themselves. Three trustees 

 were also to be chosen. J. G. Bacher 

 and .Julius Dorsche were elected, while 

 E. O'Hara and L. W. Scott tied for 

 third choice, which will be decided 

 later. 



The Rose Carnival. 



The annual rose fiesta was held here 

 last week, and also a grand show of 

 outside roses was held at the armory. 

 Many beautiful specimens were exhib- 

 ited. The Mildred Grant won the So- 

 ciety's cup, the blooms exhibited 

 measuring eight inches in diame- 

 ter. J. B. Clark, Caroline Test- 

 out, La France and Cochet came in 

 for their share of ribbons." Special 

 features of the carnival were various 

 parades and the decorated autos of

June 11, the latter being considered 

 the best. The grand prize was awarded 

 the Bell Telephone float, which was 

 done in yellow lupines, gaillardias and 

 larkspurs, Clark Bros, being the deco- 

 rators. The second prize was cap- 

 tured by an Oakland car. J. Seulber- 

 ger came up with his decorator, A. 

 Rossi, to superintend the arrangement, 

 which was extremely effective. • San
