The Weekly Florists' Review* 



August 7, 1902 



SEATTLE, WASH, 



We are passing through a (lull summer 

 ami there is nothing alarming to report 

 from the "City on the 'Sound." The 

 general order of the times is building, 

 repairing and planting the houses with 

 young stock. There is great activity in 

 this line, as the florists are trying to 

 keep pace ■nith other lines of trade. 

 July 4th saw the end of a most prosper- 

 ous season, and an early revival of busi- 

 ness is looked for when the "Elks" hold 

 their carnival, from the 18th to the 30th 

 of August. The retailers are making very 

 creilitable window displays of carnations 

 and plenty of good outdoor stock. Light 

 colored roses are the only scarce article 

 in the market. The climate here is de- 

 lightfully cool and "quite Englishj you 

 know.'" Herbaceous stock and summer 

 blooming plants thrive luxuriantly and 

 our gardens are a paradise. 



The Alaskan Steamship Company, now 

 running excursions to Alaska, is adver- 

 tising that country as an ideal summer 

 resort, and a few of the florists now make 

 the trip annually for a month's rest. 



The Seattle Floral Company has out- 

 grown its present location and is build- 

 ing 10,000 feet of glass at the corner of 

 Clay and Danny streets. 



C. Hofmeister, of the Washington Flo- 

 ral Company, reports a big sale for to- 

 matoes and cucumbers, which he grows 

 under glass and finds more profitable 

 than lut flowers during the summer 

 nionths. 



.lohn Hoize, with unlimited ambition, 

 will soon move right iuto the center of 

 the residence district, Thirteenth and 

 East Union streets, where he is building 

 lli.OOO feet of glass. 



M. K. Galloway has rented part of a 

 large drugstore at 904 Second avenue, 

 formerly occupied by Mrs. McCoy, which 

 he is fixing up neatly to attract the bet- 

 ter trade. H. J. M.

The Liondon Horticultural Association 

 will hold its Sweet Pea or Mid-summer 

 Shsw on Aug. 6th and 7th. As the sea- 

 son has been favorable to the growth of 

 outdoor flowers, it is expected that this 

 show will eclipse any of its predecessors. 



The weather continues wet, and great 

 damage is being done to the crops. A 

 tornado swept over this part of the 

 country July 27, doing much damage to 

 trees and overthrowing barns and sheds, 

 but so far we have not heard of any glass 

 being destroyed. 



Convention matters are now the gen- 

 eral topic, and from present appearances 

 the fifth annual convention will be a 

 record breaker. 



We are pleased to hear that a deter- 

 mined effort is being made to revive the 

 trade paper, and hope that the efforts of 

 the executive committee may prove suc- 

 cessful. " LOND.
