The Florists' Review 



Januabx 15, 1920. 



book "so delightfully different that it must be a 

 pleasant surprise to those who have long sought 

 to find in a seed book real information and 

 guidance." 



X. O. Tyler, Portland, Ore. — A 16-page dah- 

 lia catalogue. A general assortment of stand- 

 ard Tarieties la offered, but a specialty Is made 

 of "Mastick" dahlias, which, says Mr. Tyler, 

 "are the results of many years of hybridizing 

 experiments by 0. L. Mastick, a merchant of 

 this city."

 Illustrated catalogue of gladioli; sixteen pages, 

 in narrow, bandy, pigeonhole or pocket form.

 prices quoted I deliver bulbs, transportation 

 free, to all points in the United States." 



WASHINGTON, D. 0. 



The Market. 



The market last week was little dif- 

 ferent from the previous week. Stock 

 was still scarce and prices high. Warm- 

 er weather brought an increase in the 

 plant trade. The supply of sweet peas 

 and carnations was better last week, 

 despite the dark weather. There was 

 a scarcity of Paper Whites and stevia. 

 A fine supply of orchids came in and 

 they averaged $1.75 each. Out-of-town 

 business was satisfactory last week. 



Various Notes. 



Marche & Co. had a large decorating 

 job last week at the new Bialto restau- 

 rant and furnished over 2,000 blooms, 

 which were given out as favors at the 

 opening. Mr. White reports a number 

 of other decorating jobs on hand. 



The Washington Floral Co. has re- 

 placed its electric sign with a fine, three- 

 action, * * Say It with Flowers ' ' sign. J. 

 Harper Hetherington, manager of the 

 establishment, says that he feels it will 

 be a help to the out-of-town florists as 

 well as to the local members of the 

 trade, because it advertises the * ' Say It 

 with Flowers" movement. This firm is 

 cutting some fine cattleyas, sweet peas 

 and roses. It is also getting in some 

 nice 6-inch Scottii ferns. ^ 



The Oehmler Floral Co. was busy 

 with funeral work last week. 



Miss Daugherty, of the Louise Flower 

 Shop, had a large dinner party at the 

 Chevy TDhase Club January 9. She also 

 had a large amount of decorating work 

 at a dinner party which was given 

 January 7 by the manager of B. F. 

 Keith's theater. During the holidays, 

 she found stock so scarce that she had 

 to use the leaves from crocus and be- 

 gonia plants for working up. G. V. S.

 ert Hardies has been bought by Edwin
