The Florists' Review 



Septrmber 7, 1916. 



his summer vacation at his home here. 



Miss Minnie Goodale, of the store of 

 the Hoyt Bros. Co., Spokane, spent a 

 few days here in August and last week 

 W. S. Hoyt visited Portland. 



A. J. Wilson went to Long Beach 

 with his family; E. C. Gehr to Seaside, 

 and A. Alenius took a camping trip up 

 the Columbia river highway. The Wil- 

 son, Crout & Gehr Co. has completed 

 three of the six houses planned for 

 erection this fall. The houses are con- 

 structed of materials taken from the 

 old Pfunder range. The cedar sash- 

 bars were remilled and shortened and 

 have proved serviceable for use with 

 pipe frames. 



Mrs. M. Fichheimer, of the Floral 

 Studio, takes pride in arranging flow- 

 ers in original designs. Last week she 

 showed a piece for a table center which 

 represented a dame of the days of hoop 

 skirts. The flowers were arranged in 

 the style of those days. S. W. W.

Various Notes. 



The outlook for the coming winter is 

 unusually good and all tradesmen seem 

 optimistic. This feeling undoubtedly 

 has its origin and support in • the un- 

 usual prosperity of this particular sec- 

 tion, surrounded as we are by one of 

 the greatest and richest wheat coun- 

 tries in the world, by wonderfully pro- 

 ductive fruit farms and by an inex- 

 haustible wealth of minerals in the 

 mountains that lie about us. Spokane 

 is the geographical and, therefore, log- 

 •ical, center of a great wealth-producing 

 territory,^ and the florists feel that of 

 the millions of dollars coming into our 

 city a few dollars will find their way 

 into the flower store cash registers. Pre- 

 paratory to handling the increase of 

 business, many of the retailers either 

 have provided new -quarters or are en- 

 larging their old stores. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. is having changes 

 made at its Post street store that will 

 add materially to the floor space. Addi- 

 tional balcony space also will be pro- 

 vided, to be largely used for display of 

 basket ware. The large cooler, in 

 which ice now is used, will be operated 

 by artificial refrigeration. 



Jack Burt seems to be doing- well in 

 his store on Lincoln street. Last June 

 he bought the retail business, includ- 

 ing store, stock and furnishings, of 

 Bumette Bros., and has since been con- 

 ducting the business under the nam'e of 

 Jack Burt's Flower Shop. 



Miss Winifred Doyle, formerly book- 

 keeper for A. J. Burt, was married Au- 

 gust 23 to Wilfred C. Dumas. The cere- 

 mony took place in Saint Aloysius* 

 church. The decorations were made 

 under the direction of Emil Stapleton, 

 decorator for A. J. Burt. The couple 

 will make their future home at Marble, 

 Wash. 



The Spokane Gxeeuhouse Co., of Mar- 

 shall, Wash., is enlarging its range by 

 the addition of one house 35x150 feet, 

 which will be devoted to palms and 

 ferns. This company has been bring- 

 ing into the market some unusually fine 

 Ophelia roses and reports that all stock 

 is doing well, especially the 6 and 7-inch 

 cyclamens. One of the men, Robert 

 Welch, had the misfortune to fall 

 through a greenhouse roof, -while glaz- 

 ing, and cut a long gash on his fore- 

 arm. He has been in the hospital for 

 nearly a week.

 ' We were certainly pleased with the results secured from your Seed last year and 

 florists who visited the University greenhouses said they were the finest sweet peas 

 'they had ever seen. They made an unusually strong growth and produced great Quanti-

 faction DlVIES&SON. 



I have received over 1000 such testimonials inside of ten months. 



WARNING:— There are or will be advertised many so-called new Winter Spencers. I 

 have seen many new names on the Exhibition tables, but by careful examination all were 

 identical with my older Winter Orchid, years in commerce, excepting the Tarrawa. Should 

 you buy any such so-called novelty, test it side by side with my original varieties and 

 jadge for yourself.
