The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 1, 1917. 



J. G. Bacher read a prose jjoem, Walt 

 Mason style, on the rose, from tlie time 

 the cutting was made to the mature flow- 

 ering bush, and then following the rose 

 bud to its place in a casket spray. Re- 

 freshments and cards were enjoved after 

 adjournment. 



Various Notes. 



Carl Starket is still bringing in Maud 

 Dean mums. He does not know exactly 

 how he has caused so late a crop. He 

 intends this season to enlarge his produc- 

 tion of asparagus. 



H. F. Richards, the carnation grower 

 has been sick nearly the entire winter' 

 At one time it was feared an operation 

 on a troublesome growth in his mouth 

 would be necessary, but this has been 

 avoided, and he now is somewhat better 



James Forbes, of the Martin & Forbes 

 <- IS proud of a vase of red carnations 

 cut froni some plants propagated by 

 Wilham Martin. It is a red variety of 

 Crorgeous, having the same size of bloom 

 and length of stem. Its color is unlike 

 any red grown here. The blooms bring 

 $2 per dozen, and for display purposes 

 they are worth double the price of the 

 smaller rods. Several of the flowers 

 measured fully four inches across. The 

 company's store showed the first Nar- 

 cissus poeticus blooms last week. 



The engagement of Thomas c' Luke, 

 of Max Smith 's store, to Miss N. A 

 Tobey, has been announced. The wed- 

 ding is set for April 18. 



Mrs. James Keency, of Bend, was here 

 last week. g -[^ -^y 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business last week was practicallv the 

 same as that reported for the week pre- 

 vious—everybody busy. Funerals and 

 parties are using up quantities of stock, 

 but there seems to be no limit to either 

 the quantity or quality. Bulbous stock 

 is abundant, r'amations are in adequate 

 supply, but roses continue scarce. Easter 

 lilies and callas are plentiful and good. 



Various Notes. 



Bernson & TTallo are having unusual 

 success with their sweet peas this Avinter. 

 The quality of their peas has seldom 

 been excelled and rarely equaled. Car- 

 nation Aviator has made a hit with 

 them, ns well as with their customers. 

 They are doing a good business in root 

 ed cuttings of this variety. 



Harry Kipp, who has been associated 

 with the Spokane Florist Co. for the last 

 five years, has severed his conner-^^ion 

 with the company. He has not an- 

 nounced his future plans, but will, for 

 a .while at least, devote his time to his 

 private interests and investments. 



A. J. Burt, who, after retiring from 

 businos'; the first of the year, left for an 

 extended trip to California and planned 

 to go to TToroliihi, is reported to be still 

 in Los Angeles, liis wife havinjr been 

 taken seriously ill. He will remain there. 

 it is reported, until ^frs. Burt is a<Tnin 

 ablo to travel. They will return to Spo 

 kane. Air. liuvt expects to continue in 

 the landsca].ing business, which he first 

 estahlis)K',l some twelve or fifteen years

th.at good prices arc niaiiitained. Tlicrc 

 has not been mtich bulbous stock in the 

 market this week, which has had a tend 

 ency to stifTtMi jirices for other flowers. 

 Carnations are moderately jdentiful, but 

 there are few h'ft .aftei- eacli day's sales. 

 The dull weather experienced lately does 

 not ijnprov(> their quality and there are 

 more than the usual number of splits. 

 l{oses are scarce and almost entirely 

 from soiitliern points. A number of 

 I'alla lilies are coming in and are being 

 used for funeral work. Free.sias are be- 

 ing used more extensively than formerly 

 and fine-quality flowers are coming in.
