The Florists^ Review 



AoODST 16, 1917. 



German Floral Co. The houses are be- 

 ing repaired and planted to 20,000 

 mums. There are two houses of aspara- 

 gus. Tlie comj)any disposes of the stock 

 at a stand near the public market. 



Charles Betz is taking his vacation 

 at Walla Walla, and during his absence 

 his father is in charge of the range. 

 Mr. Betz is going to use gas briquettes 

 this year, a form of fuel that is said 

 to be gaining in popularity in the face 

 of high coal prices. 



Howard Earl, of Burpee & Co., Phila- 

 delphia, was in town last week. 



E. J. Steele is busily engaged with 

 his pansy crop. He has employed about 

 twenty-five women to gather the seeds. 



H, Niklas and F. A. Van Kirk report 

 rather cool weather at Newport, where 

 they are spending their vacations.

SPOKANE, WASH. 



Weather conditions are more satis- 

 factory now, though it should be added 

 that we never have to endure the ex- 

 treme heat that the middle west does. 

 Seldom does the temperature register 

 100 degrees and the hot days are always 

 followed by cool, refreshing nights. 



So far as we are able to learn, carna- 

 tion stock has been benched for at least 

 a month and is looking well. H. L. 

 Olsson was perhaps the last to plant, 

 having been delayed by reason of un- 

 finished buildings. The new range is a 

 model and will form a splendid nucleus 

 for the company's future operations. 

 From two to four more houses may be 

 added next year. 



Stock is sufficient for most demands, 

 but it generally is of poor or medium 

 quality. Carnations are of usual sum- 

 mer grade; roses ditto. Hutchinson's 

 sweet peas are, as usual during the sum- 

 mer, the best in the market. 



The Spokane Greenhouse Co. has been 

 supplying the town with rubrum lilies. 

 In this item the company has managed 

 to have almost the entire market to 

 itself. 



Adolph Donart caught tlie market 

 with a fine cucumber eroj) and realized 

 a handsome profit. Higli prices, holding 

 for a longer period than usual, have 

 been a good thing for the vegetable 

 growers. 



Bernson & Halle have had two houses 

 of cucumbers and tomatoes. These have 

 paid well tliis summer. Young carna- 

 tion stock is looking well. Particularly 

 is this true of Aviator, of which they 

 expect great things. 



C. T. Kipp, of the Spokane Florist 

 Co., returned a few days ago from a 

 trip to Alaska. He says Alaska is a 

 great place for a vacation. 



A recent visitor was the always wel- 

 come Martin Reukauf, representing H. 

 Baversdorfer & Co., Philadelphia.

The Market. 



Perfect weather conditions have pre- 

 vailed and may be partly responsible 

 for the manner in which business has 

 kept up. There are dull days, of course, 

 but large funerals and other work main- 

 tain a good average. 



Stock is short in variety, but there 

 are enough blooms of the few varieties 

 available. Peas are fine, the best seen 

 for years. They sell anywhere from 

 5 to 25 cents ])er bunch, according to
