The Florists^ Review 



July 1, 1920 



ported all that can be expected for a 

 new firm at this time of the year. 



Domoto Bros, have a fine lot of 

 rubrum lilies, which they expect to start 

 cutting in about two weeks.

SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The supply now is chiefly made up of 

 outside stock and is sufficient in quan- 

 tity to meet the demand. Some fine 

 gladioli are to be had in greenhouse 

 stock and they clean up daily. Wed- 

 ding and graduation work has kept most 

 of the stores busy. 



Club Meeting. 



Monday, June 14, the regular meet- 

 ing of the Spokane Florists' Club was 

 held at the Spokane hotel. The guest 

 of honor was Mrs. Ruth Day, president 

 of the Pacific Coast Association of 

 Nurserymen. The speakers of the eve- 

 ning were S. Yonkin, A. Eahn and H. 

 Hill. 



Mr. Hill spoke on the necessity of 

 keeping the price of flowers down on 

 Mothers' day, as stock at that time is 

 always plentiful and the florist reaps 

 a good harvest with prices normal. 

 Mr. Yonkin spoke on the needs of Me- 

 morial day, saying that it was one day 

 that the growers do not plan ahead for, 

 as they should, especially regarding 

 potted plants. Mr. Eahn spoke on how 

 and when to buy, speaking mainly for 

 the growers. 



The attendance was the largest in 

 many months and all present expressed 

 satisfaction with the year's business. 



Various Notes. 



The Davenport Flower Shop had a 

 nice wedding decoration in the Daven- 

 port hotel for a prominent wedding 

 which took place June 14. 



C. Enis, who for the last year has 

 had charge of A. J. Burt's greenhouses, 

 has accepted a position with H. L. 

 Olsson Co. Mr. Burt intends to close 

 his greenhouses, the ground being quite 

 valuable. H. H. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Ideal growing conditions have exist- 

 ed all over the Pacific northwest for 

 the last week and have caused an al- 

 most complete reversal of the stock sit- 

 uation from the close of the previous 

 week. Peonies, violets and Spanish iris 

 are plentiful and the prices on- the last 

 two offerings have been lowered by 

 growers to partly offset the oversupply. 

 Carnations are also in liberal supply 

 and will continue to increase for some 

 time, as the outdoor stock is arriving. 

 These almost cause a glut some days. 



Business has been generally good, 

 partly due to graduations. Baskets 

 were apparent!}' the most popular item 

 with those who were buying for the 

 graduates, although a large amount of 

 cut flowers went to the same affairs. 

 There has been plenty of work on wed- 

 dings and several of the larger retail- 

 ers state that the average expenditure 

 shows a greater increase than would be 

 necessary to keep even with the high 

 cost of flowers. Funeral business has 

 been about the average. 



Outdoor offerings have assumed prac- 

 tical control of the market and promise
