The Florists^ Review 



Januabt 16, 1919. 



flowers are becoming more plentiful, 

 especially roses and carnations, as the 

 demand since January 1 has dropped off 

 at least sixty per cent, compared with 

 that of the last three months. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Boehnning has resigned his 

 position with the Eugene Flower Shop 

 and taken the management of Adolph 

 Donart's House of Flowers, succeeding 

 Mr. Sanders, who has resigned to go 

 back into the growing business with Mr. 

 Donart, at Coeur d' Alene, Id. Mr. 

 Boehnning has been prominent in the 

 retail trade of Spokane for several 

 years. At one time he was in charge of 

 the Davenport Flower Shop and he had 

 the decorations for the Davenport hotel 

 and restaurant. He promises Spokane 

 a modern flower shop, as he is remodel- 

 ing and redecorating the salesroom and 

 installing an up-to-date refrigerator. 



Robert G. Lowe, proprietor of the 

 Wallace Flower Co., at Wallace, Id., has 

 taken a 5-year lease on the glass and 

 residence of Walter IngersoU at Kel- 

 logg, Id. Mr. Lowe contemplates run- 

 ning this in connection with his busi- 

 ness at Wallace. B. W. N.

The Market. 



Stock of all kinds is scarce. There is 

 barely enough to carry on business. 

 Funeral work is the principal feature of 

 the demand and good prices prevail. 

 Never before in the history of the flower 

 trade in the northwest, in fact, have 

 prices been received equal to those in 

 force at present. Carnations bring $2 

 per dozen. Boses are selling at from 

 $2 per dozen for short-stemmed stock to 

 $7.50 for long-stemmed. Ophelia, Bus- 

 sell, Columbia, Ward, Killarney and 

 White Killarney, Hoosier Beauty and 

 Rose Marie, all of good quality, are the 

 varieties noted. Most of the rose stock 

 is shipped in from California. 



Various Notes. 



Bosaia Bros, are sending in fine roses 

 and orchids from their range at Thomas, 

 Wash. G. Bjorkman has gone from the 

 store to the range. 



Stuber & Bichardson are cutting good 

 carnations. 



C. E. Sullivan, formerly manager of 

 the Hollywood Gardens, is now with the 

 Woodlawn Flower Shop. 



William Hawkins has purchased a 

 range of glass near Sacramento, Cal. 



Charles Gilmer, who was rose grower 

 for the Thomas Floral Co. when he en- 

 tered the service of Uncle Sam, has re- 

 turned to Camp Lewis, at American 

 Lake, Wash., from Camp Lee, Peters- 

 burg, Va., and expects to don overalls 

 and jumper in the near future.

The Market. 



The market is settling down to more 

 nearly normal conditions, although fu- 

 neral work still keeps all hands rushing. 

 However, the last few days have been 

 cold and clear and the influenza will 

 soon be wiped out, it is hoped. 



This week has marked an increase in 

 the general flower supply, although some 

 members of the local trade are still hav- 

 ing difficulty in obtaining enough blooms
