The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



March 24, 1904. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The H. Harrington Co., of Vasbon, is 

 breaking ground for two more houses, 

 20x150 feet, for carnations. Tliey built 

 three houses last year, besides rebuilding 

 two small houses. Their carnations are 

 in good shape and have been producing 

 steadily since September. Enchantress, 

 Adonis and Harlowarden are winners 

 among the new ones this year with them. 

 Their lilies are in fine condition and will 

 no doubt be in time. Their bulbs pro- 

 duced about eightv per cent good plants. 



The Woodland " Park Floral Co. has 

 the finest lot of roses to be seen in the 

 state. They have just finished rebuild- 

 ing five houses 12.xl50 feet which they 

 have planted to vegetables for the spring 

 and summer trade, after which they will 

 be used for mums, etc. Mr. Hoffmeister. 

 proprietor of the Washington Floral 

 Co., is recovering from his attack of 

 rheumatism. 



The demand for flist-class carnations 

 has been good this year. There was a 

 scare of a big surplus after the holidays, 

 caused by heavy shipments sent down 

 from Victoria, but now we hear that a 

 great manv of their plants have gone 

 bad. 



This has been a very bad winter, an 

 unusual amount of dark weather, but 

 not much frost. February broke the rec- 

 ord for rainfall, about eight inches. 

 Sweet peas, snapdragons and verbenas 

 have wintered over; rose bushes have 

 not lost their foliage, and have made 

 some growth during the winter. 



E. A. Perry, of Vashon. is building 

 three houses for vegetables. This is Mr. 

 Perry's first attempt at the business. 



AN EARLY AZALEA. 



We have now to do with a rich rose- 

 eolored rzalea, which, jiulging from the 

 plate in the Revue de ^'Horticulture 

 Beige for February, has flowers of a 

 good shape, fine color, and an early- 

 blooming tendency. It is Azalea indica 

 Rose de Xoel and was raised by M. De 

 Smet-Duvivier as a sport, and flowers in 

 December.
