The Florists' Review

SEATTI£, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business is good, with a fair demand 

 for all seasonable flowers. Carnations, 

 owing to the dull weather, are not ar- 

 riving in profusion and there is good 

 sale for those offered. Roses are by no 

 means plentiful. There is a short sup- 

 ply of daffodils and prices remain good 

 for them. A small quantity of local 

 violets is offered and these sell readily. 

 Hyacinths and tulips are plentiful; or- 

 chids and valley are sufficient to sup- 

 ply the demand. Pot plants now are 

 moving nicely and there is more variety 

 than has been the case in recent weeks. 



The growers of lilies are beginning 

 to warm their houses to hasten the 

 tardy Easter lily buds. 



The seedsmen are unusually busy for 

 this time of the year, and indications 

 point to increased business in all their 

 lines. There is a good demand for 

 nursery stock of all kinds and, although 

 business in the fall was above the nor- 

 mal, there is more being sold this spring 

 than for years. The rose shows held 

 during the last three years have in- 

 creased the demand for roses, especially 

 for the newer kinds, and to do business 

 nowadays one must keep the newest 

 varieties. 



Various Notes. 



Carnation Bosette is of fine appear- 

 ance in the houses of Buxton & Quil- 

 lin, and is proving a better flower than 

 Gorgeous in every respect. T. W.

The Market. 



Favorable weather last week more 

 than equalized the effect of Lent on the 

 sale of flowers. The number of public 

 events was decreased, but more flowers 

 were worn and used in home affairs. 

 Several large funerals cleaned up the 

 surplus stock. The demand for potted 

 stock was normal. Outdoor daffodils 

 were offered in large quantities and 

 retailed at prices ranging from 25 cents 

 to 50 cents per dozen. Potted bulbous 

 stock still is shown and sells fairly 

 well. Some splendid azaleas are of- 

 fered. 



Home-grown violets are in oversupply 

 and several growers let their crops go 

 to waste. The quality of the carnation 

 cut has improved and the supply is nor- 

 mal. The cut of Richmond and Killar- 

 ney roses has increased, while that of 

 Ophelia is below normal. St. Patrick's 

 day brought the usual demand for tint- 

 ed flowers and cleaned up everything 

 that could be used for that purpose. 

 Several stores made special displays of 

 these flowers and of shamrocks. As- 

 paragus still is decidedly scarce. 



Various Notes. 



August Zitzewitz is supplying excel- 

 lent Primula obconica in light pink and 

 lavender tints. 



H. W. Von, who has been with the 

 Wilson, Crout & Gehr Co., has taken a

 to the new location, which will be re-

fitted for the purpose. The new front 

 offers better opportunities for display 

 and the interior will be more conve- 

 niently arranged, with more room for 

 stock and wider aisles for customers. 

 This move was necessary, as the com- 

 pany found its business had outgrown 

 the old quarters. 



Clarke Bros, are making deliveries 

 in a new Studebaker car, a neat and 

 substantial appearing vehicle. 



W. H. Dunham, superintendent of 

 school gardens, reports that there will 

 be thirty-six community gardens oper- 

 ated by the pupils this season. 



F. A. Van Kirk reports heavy cuts of 

 carnations during February, all of 

 which were readily sold. At present 

 he is unable to supply the demands for 

 his flowers. 



Martin & Forbes are cutting some 

 good Fireflame roses. 



The Retail Grocers' Association has 

 started a movement to close the public 

 market. Should it succeed, the flower 

 stands there would be abolished. 



In many places the hypericums, lo- 

 quats and bridal myrtles have had their 

 foliage destroyed by the severe cold, 

 but the plants have not been killed. 



William E. Dungee has a new de- 

 livery car of his own design. The 

 running gear and body are of Ford 

 manufacture, but all else is specially 

 made. s. W. W.
