The Florists^ Review 



Sbptiubbb 27, 1917. 



L. Seal, Mr8. E. Lymbery, Mrs. W. E. 

 Estes, L. R. Kessiiig, A. Rossi, Leslie 

 E. Doolittle, Pierson Durbrow, A. 

 Twitchett, R. C. Delamater, F. C. Burns, 

 C. S. Quick and C. Goecker. The vogue 

 of dahlias in California is shown by 

 the number of amateur and semi-ama- 

 teur shows being held here as well as 

 in other parts of the state. Announce- 

 ments this week include a show at Wat- 

 Bonville under the auspices of the 

 Woman's Club, and a show to be held 

 by the Paikside Mothers' Club in this 

 city. 



Henry E. Bothin and Mrs. Bothin, 

 begonia growers, of Ross, Cal., will hold 

 a public exhibition of begonias at their

TACOMA, WASH. 



Tlie Market. 



Stock continues scarce, and tlie little 

 there is does not leave room for much 

 choice. There is no novelty. Auratum 

 lilies are more plentiful, as well as 

 rubrums, but little can be said about 

 their quality. Carnations are only fair. 

 Local roses are still scarce, most of those 

 seen on the market having been shipped 

 in from the south or from east of the 

 mountains. Ophelia roses lead all 

 others, both as shippers and in local 

 sale. Gladioli and asters still form the 

 backbone of the market. Mums are 

 coming in from San Francisco, arriving 

 in good condition. The mums draw a 

 crowd, but it is still a little early in the 

 seasoh for active buying, as the outdoor 

 flowers are still blooming in private 

 grounds, though not in abundance. 



The weather is perfect for early fall. 

 Autumn tints prevail, and tinted vine 

 maple is being used to good effect in flo- 

 rists' windows and in interior decora- 

 tions. The boys in khaki are good cus- 

 tomers, and with so many boys away 

 from home it is only to be expected that 

 the telegraph delivery and night letter 

 business will increase during the winter 

 holidays. If florists all over the country 

 would make a special effort to inform 

 the soldier boys with regard to the 

 practicability of distant deliveries, it 

 would be a big boost for the business 

 later on. 



Various Notes. 



A. Zirkman called on the trade last 

 week. Mr. Zirkman was well pleased 

 with business conditions on the coast. 



Mrs. M. E. Hayden, of the Hayden- 

 Watson Co., motored to Mount Tacoma 

 last week with a party of friends. 



William Crammatte, of the Home Flo- 

 rists' Co., of Aberdeen, has purchased 

 Mr. Van Slyke 's interest in the Van 

 Slyke & Seamons Co. The company will 

 hereafter bear the name of Tacoma 

 Wholesale Floral Co. The company ex- 

 pects to make improvements as soon as 

 practical. 



The Hayden-Watson Co. has incorpo- 

 rated under the name of Hayden-Watson 

 Floral Co. It expects to handle a whole- 

 sale line of florists' supplies for the con- 

 venience of local and coast florists.

The Market. 



The market at present is crowded 

 with stock. Business, while good, is 

 not sufficient to consume the great quan- 

 tity of flowers arriving. Roses are in 

 full crop in the houses; they have not
