The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 18, 1920 



William Green. Mrs. Burt sang our 

 song, "Say It with Flowers." The 

 menu was: 



Oactuf cocktail a la ipine. 



Nlco-Fame with Ironlte southern. 



Stuffed Amaryllis vittata with bousalnTllIea 



sauce. 



Club glKanteum on mushroom spawn. 



Browned hydrangea yita plastic. 



Buttered tradescantia. 



Tulip salad. 



Forget-me-not cake. 



Klpp's moonshine. Inland lime sulphur. 



Wednesday, March 10, was florists' 

 day at the Ad Club luncheon. The 

 tables were decorated with Laddie car- 

 nations and each arch in the banquet 

 room was decorated to show different 

 uses of flowers, such as cradle, corsage, 

 bride's bouquet, birthday gifts and 

 wreaths. The center of the room was 

 strung with telegraph wires, with flow- 

 ers coming and going by wire. 



Various Notes. 



The local growers state that they 

 have to watch the Easter lilies closely, 

 as they are all more or less backward 

 and, with Easter so near, no chances can 

 be taken. 



B. Briggs, formerly of Lewiston, 

 Idaho, has joined the force of the Spo- 

 kane Florist Co. 



Eetailers report a large number of 

 funeral orders, although all signs of the 

 flu have gone. H. H.

The Market. 



With funeral work holding up well 

 and the increased arrivals of spring 

 flowers attracting the casual buyers, 

 there was a noticeable increase in busi- 

 ness last week and general satisfaction 

 is expressed by members of the trade. 



The first anemones of the season ar- 

 rived during the week. Tulips are ar- 

 riving in such large quantities as to 

 bring some reduction in prices. The 

 same is true of California violets, but 

 a falling off of orders is expected to 

 remedy this to a certain extent. The 

 local greenhouses are supplying more 

 roses for the market, with Columbia and 

 Ophelia leading. White Killarney and 

 Premier are also to be seen in quantity 

 and Ward and baby roses are the main 

 items in late California arrivals. Free- 

 sias are plentiful but in slower demand, 

 as the result of the many novelties. 

 They have been freely used in funeral 

 pieces recently and help to hold down 

 the cost of this work. Local sweet peas 

 are in heavy enough supply and of fine 

 enough quality to keep out southern of- 

 ferings. 



Buyers as far away as Denver have 

 been taking stock from the local green-
