The Florists' Review 



Fkbulaiiy 8, 1917. 



Fred Spcny, of the L. A. Floral Co., 

 reports some interference with shipping 

 north on account of snow storms, but 

 so far this season the company has had 

 little trouble. Shipments hold up well 

 and keep everyone on the jump. 



The advent of S. Murata & Co. on Los 

 Angeles street rounds out a regular mar- 

 ket locality. The sympathy of all in 

 the trade is extended to Mrs. Cart- 

 wright, the bookkeeper, whose husband 

 died January 27 from injuries received 

 in falling from a ladder. 



H. W. Turner is sending in magnifi- 

 cent roses now, his September Morn, 

 Hoosier Beauty, Prima Donna and others 

 being the equal of anything seen in this 

 market. Mr. Turner has recovered suf- 

 ficiently from his recent injury to be 

 able to drive the big car again. 



Darling 's Flower Shop has been show- 

 ing some of the finest cyclamens ever 

 seen on the Pacific coast. They are 

 magnificent plants in every way and are 

 marvels of cultural skill.

The Market. 



Business continues to improve. There 

 is no overabundance of stock of any 

 kind and in some items there is a short- 

 age. Carnations are selling about the 

 best of any cut flowers at present, and 

 as the supply is none too plentiful there 

 are none left over from each day 's sales. 

 Eoses also are scarce; there are hardly 

 enough to go around. Daffodils, tulips 

 and hyacinths sell well at good prices. 

 There does not appear to be too much 

 bulbous stock in the market this year.* 

 Violets now are of excellent quality and 

 the demand for them is good. Many be- 

 gonias, cyclamens and primulas are com- 

 ing to hand and their sales are moder- 

 ately good. 



Varioiis Notes. 



A visit to the conservatories in Vol- 

 unteer park is now particularly inter- 

 esting to florists. Jacob Unlauff, the 

 superintendent in charge, has developed 

 a fine strain of cyclamen plants, and 

 the plants now on display as a result of 

 his selection of seed are the admiration 

 of all visitors. Florists, more critical 

 than the average visitors, see nothing to 

 complain of in colors, habit or health of 

 the plants. The park commissioners 

 have decided to build an additional 

 house, to be principally used for propa- 

 gating purposes. 



J. J. Bonnell has some curious prod- 

 ucts at his nurseries just now. He has 

 received many novelties from Japan and 

 visitors find much to interest them in 

 the plants and in Mr. Bonnell 's descrip- 

 tions of the ways and doings of the ori- 

 entals. 



The Seattle Landscape Gardeners' 

 Association has been formed and starts 

 out under favorable auspices. At a re- 

 cent meeting the following were elected 

 officers for the first year: President, "W. 

 C. Sherven; vice-president, L. Holland; 

 secretary, P. H. Williams; treasurer, J. 

 J. Bonnell; executive committee, E. W. 

 Smith, J. Sandahl and J. Lindley. About 

 twenty members have signed the charter 

 and it is expected many more will join 

 soon. The first meeting was held Feb- 

 ruary 6. Sessions will be held twice 

 monthly in the Chamber of Commerce 

 assembly rooms. 



The Fremont Floral Co. is busy reno- 

 vating its benches in two of the houses.

This new class of miniature roses is saining won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so. Their 

 exceeding freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any other bedding or border plant. Their 

 possibilities are worth your attention and consideration.

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little 

 rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and 

 startling in its brilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with 

 clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele- 

 gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the 

 very best, strong and compact; freedom of bloom is 

 remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea- 

 son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and 

 have no hesitancy in o£Fering it as the one best selling 

 rose you ever handled. It is a money-maker. 



Also special prices on all commerial varieties of 

 Hybrid Teas.
