SPOKANE NOTES. 



[OontlnueU from piifire 61 . I 



had. His Primula malacoides and ob- 

 conica were especially fine and proved 

 great sellers for the retailers, 6-inch 

 pots selling readily at retail for from 

 $3 to $4 each. His specimen cyclamens 

 were fine and sold on sight. 



Bernson & Halle came in with a good 

 and large cut of Chadwick and Maud 

 Dean mums, which found a ready 

 market. 



Henry Keimers handles the output 

 from his own houses almost entirely. 

 The quality of stock produced always 

 is good. He reports the holiday busi- 

 ness as being all that could be asked. 



Jack Burt has weathered his first 

 Christmas in his new store, and is 

 pleased over the showing made. 



C. T. Kipp, of the Spokane Florist 

 Co., says it was by far the biggest 

 Christmas he has known. All lines sold 

 well, especially the more expensive 

 plant arrangements and large azaleas. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. worked harder 

 than ever before and did a bigger busi- 

 ness than ever before. So great was 

 the volume of business that the com- 

 pany closed its doors at noon December 

 24 and refused orders until the follow- 

 ing day, not so much because of lack 

 of stock, but because of the physical 

 inability to care for more orders. 



A business change has been announced 

 in which the store, stock and business 

 of A. J. Burt becomes the property of 

 Adolph Donart and J. E. Stapleton, 

 who will conduct the business under the 

 firm name of Donart-Stapleton — House 

 of Flowers. Mr. Burt has been in the 

 landscape business for some twenty 

 years, and after a few months' rest will 

 devote his time entirely to this line. He 

 has conducted a flower store for about 

 six or seven years. He will retain his 

 greenhouses on Augusta avenue, using 

 tliem in connection with his landscape 

 work. Mr. Burt contemplates a trip 

 with Mrs. Burt to California and pos- 

 sibly to Honolulu before returning to 

 Spokane. The new firm is composed of 

 two men who bring to the venture 

 practical experience in both ends of 

 the business. Mr. Donart is the owner 

 and active manager of the largest 

 range of glass in this section, about 

 70,000 feet, at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. 

 The output of this range will be han- 

 dled largely through tlie Spokane store, 

 which will be managed by Mr. Staple-

ton. Mr. Stapleton learned his busi- 

 ness with Jenkinson & Son, of Stafford- 

 shire, England, serving a three years 

 apprenticeship and later remaining in 

 their employ for twelve additional 

 years. He came to Spokane about a 

 year ago from Brown Bros., of Van- 

 couver, B. C, with whom he had been 

 employed for eight years. He therefore 

 is fully qualified to fill the position he 

 has chosen, 



A recent most welcome visitor was 

 Martin Eeukauf, representing H. Bay- 

 ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia. Arriving 

 with the beginning of the Christmas 



rush, Mr. Eeukauf proceeded to make 

 himself useful. As a Christmas sales- 

 man he is a crackerjack. L. B. H.

 funeral work had to be provided for on 

 the following Tuesday, and it took close 

 figuring, using all sorts of makeshifts, to 

 fill orders. The most acute shortage of 

 cut stock this market has ever seen ex- 

 isted all of last week. A number of 

 holiday weddings and social events put 

 the florists at their wit's end to satisfy 

 their customers, as in most such cases
