The Florists' Review 



59 



ticultural shows be held at intervals and 

 other attractions provided to draw the 

 general public and the exposition 

 cro'v^sy- ^ulriihe' £l»ffiBssi(»-4was'^8«chi as- 

 to seem to preclude all possibility of 

 concerted action, which was what the 

 meeting^wtr^prinmTily called for. After 

 a scrambling argument as to the form 

 of motion to be voted on, Mr. Ford, of 

 the Qermain Seed & Plant Co., suggested 

 that the chair appoint a conttaiittee to 

 wait on the Chamber of Commerce and 

 secure its aid. A strong committee was 

 named by President Winsel. Should the 

 nurserymen and others carry their 

 scheme to a successful issue, either with 

 or without the aid of the society, they 

 will have done a good work which aU 

 will give them credit for. If I may be 

 allowed a personal expression of feeling 

 in this matter, I should like to thank all 

 the florists, wholesale and retail, who 

 attended this meeting at my own re- 

 quest and to express my regret that 

 they were so cavalierly treated by an 

 element that I feel does not represent 

 the true feeling of the majority of the 

 members of the society. 



Various Notes. 



The opening of the new quarters of 

 the German-American bank, June 16, 

 ~\was the occasion of the use of quite a 

 number of presentation pieces. The 

 largest of all was an immense floral 

 eagle put up by the Boserie. This must 

 have been at least ten feet high and 

 ten feet across the wings and was made 

 of sweet peas, yellow centaureas, carna- 

 tions and a number of choice orchids. 



Among the improvements at the store 

 of the Los Angeles Flower Market is a 

 new stock room, 20x35 feet, enclosed 

 with glass and equipped with all neces- 

 sary shelving, tables and boxes. The 

 ice-box has been moved to a lighter 

 position and new lighting fixtures have 

 been put in, greatly improving the ap- 

 pearance of the store and facilitating 

 business. 



Polder & Groen are cutting heavily 

 on the better varieties of Spencer sweet 

 peas; their lavender and pink are espe- 

 cially good. John Polder now has two 

 of Ms brothers associated with him; 

 the Polders and Mr. Groen all are work- 

 ers. They have made great progress in 

 the short time they have been in busi- 

 ness. Among the latest additions is a 

 lath house 50x250 feet, planted partly 

 to asparagus and Boston ferns. A cel- 

 lar also has been excavated for use in 

 handling the cut flowers. 



C. Lewis, of the Freeman-Lewis Co., 

 arranged some decorations at a dinner- 

 dance last week that were quite novel. 

 An artificial garden was made with 

 greens, oak leaves, bay trees and about 

 1,000 Easter lilies. 



O. C. Saakes is handling a large num- 

 ber of wedding orders and turning out 

 the work in his uSual fine style. 



H. Reeve Darling, of the Hayward 

 Floral Co., fi^ras his early June busi- 

 ness as sixty-five per cent better than 

 that of last year. His window displays 

 are well kept up and fine stock in plenty 

 is always on hand. Several large deco- 

 rations have helped out here of late. 



To one unacquainted with the big 

 business done at Wright 's Flower Shop, 

 it would seem impossible to clean up 

 the immense cuts of roses, carnations 

 and other choice stock arriving daily 

 from the Gardena greenhouses, but it 

 goes somewhere and one never sees stale 

 stock shown.
