The Florists' Review 



NOTBMBEB 28» 1918. 



H. Siebrecht, Jr., of Pasadena, notes 

 a livening up on business, especially 

 among his clientele at the principal ho- 

 tels in the Crown City. 



The H. N. Gage Co., Inc., of Monte- 

 bello, is propagating and will exhibit 

 a new sport of Nephrolepis Teddy, Jr. 

 It is a crested form, growing erect, and 

 it is a distinct variety. It was origi- 

 nally detected in a batch of the parent 

 kind by W. Squires, who was in the 

 employ of the Gage Co. for fourteen 

 years. Mr. Squires has been overseas 

 during the greater part of the war. Mr. 

 Gage probably will name the fern for 

 him when it is ready for dissemination.

offices. Now there are the Lambourne 

 Floral Co., the Huddart Floral Co., L. C. 

 Miller, etc., each occupying an up-to- 

 date store independently. However, 

 there is one essential lacking in this 

 district. That is a nursery business. 

 All the retailers in this and smaller 

 cities in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming are 

 looking to find sufficient stock from Salt 

 Lake markets and supplies are always 

 short in all seasons. During the war 

 all the retailers in this region suffered 

 from the difficulty experienced in ob- 

 taining sufficient stock and the only way 

 they could fill orders satisfactorily was 

 by obtaining stock from California. 

 There is room for a number of nursery- 

 men to operate profitably in this region. 

 Coal is cheap, water plentiful, railroad 

 facilities splendid, the soil fine and 

 the climate better than in more densely 

 populated regions. The demand for 

 flowers is immense all through the year. 

 Growers are getting better prices for 

 flowers here than in any other state of 

 the Union at any time. The public and 

 the retailers want more growers, more 

 greenhouses and a larger supply. 



The "flu," which swept over this re- 

 gion recently, was reported to be under 

 control, but it has returned and cases 

 are reported daily now in large numbers. 

 Of course this unfortunate occurrence 

 has brought a heavy demand for flowers. 

 Market prices of flowers are higher now 

 than last week. The last few days of 

 cloudy weather and short supplies from 

 California both contributed to reduce 

 stocks to the point of distress. 



Various Notes. 



The death of Miss Mabel G. Atkin, of 

 Pocatello, Ida., is noted in the obituary 

 column. 



The Salt Lake Florists' Association 

 held its meeting at the store of the Hud- 

 dart Floral Co. November 20 to discuss 

 the matter of donations of flowers to the 

 Bed Cross and other charity organiza- 

 tions. The plans of the florists will be 

 reported in the next issue. 



The president of the ' ' Church of Lat- 

 ter Day Saints," Joseph F. Smith, com- 

 monly known as the president of the 

 Mormon church, died November 19 at the 

 age of 80 years. President Smith being 

 also the head of many Mormon institu- 

 tions, such as banks, an insurance .com- 

 pany, schools, wholesale and retail busi- 

 ness institutions, and several social or- 

 ganizations, his funeral will be one of 

 the most elaborate ever held in this city. 

 The florists are making all possible 

 preparations to meet a heavy demand 

 for funeral work. The date of the fu- 

 neral has not been announced.
