The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 31. 1902 



SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. 



A few days' sojourn in this most in- 

 teresting eity gave the writer an oppor- 

 tunity to make the acquaintance of the 

 florists, who are endowed with an 

 abundance of hospitality, and who ap- 

 parently are doing a good business. 

 Trade has slackened up some since July 

 1st, yet seldom a day passes without 

 liriiiging an order for funeral work, and 

 all stores keep open until 8 p. m. 



Not unlike some other sections of the 

 Western country where there is a short- 

 age of rain during the summer monthii, 

 vegetation is made to thrive by the irri- 

 gation process, and outdoor flowers are 

 in ample supply and of the first quality. 

 Carnations are grown under glass all 

 summer, and we marvel at the quantity, 

 length of stem and size of blooms. The 

 cool nights are a boon to the florists, 

 :ind, indeed, if the same stock could be 

 shipped successfully to an Eastern mar- 

 ket it would fetch $3 per 100 at whole- 

 sale. 



Rose culture is a failure • here, due 

 principally to the lack of moisture in 

 the climate, and the trade depends en- 

 tirely on Council Bluffs for its rose sup- 

 ply. Think of shipping roses twelve 

 hundred miles in the month of July, 

 which Mr. Wilcox is doing, the same re- 

 tailing at $1.50 per dozen in this market. 

 An item of news which may interest 

 florists who are located in the mining 

 districts is the surprisingly large trade 

 done here in metal work with the nearby 

 mining camps. We find every store well 

 supplied with this material, and the 

 profits derived therefrom are enormous. 

 The Salt Lake Floral Company are 

 building six new houses, and when com- 

 pleted they will have a fine range of 75,- 

 000 feet of glass. J. H. Mitchell, 

 formerly of Butte, Montana, a green- 

 house architect of considerable ability, 

 has charge of the entire plant. 



The Huddart Floral Company arc 

 renovating their store and fixing up gen- 

 erally. Mr. Huddart took an active part 

 in organizing a florists' club, and is 

 laboring hard to interest the florists in 

 giving a chrysanthemum show next fall. 

 The B. C. Morris Floral Company aro 

 also making extensive improvements and 

 will build two new houses this summer 

 Thomas HoUday, who is one of the mem- 

 bers of the firm, and who has assumed 

 the entire management of the firm's in- 

 terests, IS a good business man and a 

 real good fellow. 



It is seldom one sees a more attractive 

 mtle store than that owned by E E 

 Evans. It is complete in" every detail' 

 Mr Evans does a large retail business 

 and looks more like an English states- 

 man than a florist. 



Ralph Rieben has started earlv in life 

 with 4,000 feet of glass and Will grow 

 cut flowers and plants for Mount Olivet 

 Cemetery trade. 



Salt Lake City, or "Zion," as it is 

 called by the Mormons, is situated in a 

 fertile valley at the foot of the Wasatch 

 Mountains. Its streets are wide and 

 well shaded with poplars and maples. 

 The places of interest which attract visit- 

 ors are the Mormon Temple and Taber- 

 nacle, two imposing structures, and 

 Amelia Palace, built by Brigham Young 

 for his favorite wife, for whom it was 

 named. 



Truck gardening in the valley is pra<?- 

 tically controlled by the Japs and the 

 Chinese. H. J. M.
