The Florists^ Review 



Sbptembbb 9, 1920 



Much interest has been taken by local 

 florists in the sudden illness of the 

 nephew and adopted son of F. J. Bert- 

 rand, of the flower shop in the Palace 

 hotel. He was seized with appendicitis 

 so suddenly that he had to be rushed 

 to the hospital for an operation August 

 30. The boy is now pronounced on the 

 way to recovery. Mr. Bertrand has had 

 decorations for some big Palace ban- 

 quets lately, including that of the Build- 

 ers ' Exchange, at which over 500 guests 

 were present. An interesting event was 

 a dual wedding celebration in the Katz 

 family. The father and mother cele- 

 brated their golden wedding anniver- 

 sary on the day of their son 's marriage. 

 The floral decorations were pink for the 

 wedding and gold for the anniversary. 

 Mr. Bertrand arranged, among the flow- 

 ers, an electric fountain with gold- 

 colored water.

The Market. 



There has been somewhat of a short- 

 age on certain lines of stock, but this 

 has not been oppressive to florists, since 

 there was more than enough of other 

 lines to offset this. Rains recently put 

 an end to the sliipments of several early 

 summer flowers. Water lilies iire about 

 at an end now. There were more water 

 lilies sold this season than ever before, 

 but towards the last of the season stock 

 was so plentiful that no real profit was 

 made. 



Outdoor chrysanthemums and some 

 new varieties of dahlias are the latest 

 arrivals. The mums were October Frost. 

 Valiant and Venetia were the most strik 

 ing of the new dahlias to be shown 

 here. Dahlias from local growers show 

 fine keeping qualities this season. There 

 li.is been a continued sale of tall baskets 

 in which calendulas, gladioli, asters, 

 ilahlias, mums, zinnias and other out- 

 door flowers have been freely used. 

 Cnndytuft has been shown in a small 

 way to good effect and flowering thistles 

 are also popular. Gypsophila is still 

 ii: heavy demand. 



The delivery of roses seems to run 

 v(y^ heavily to the older varieties, such 

 ;is Ward, Ophelia and Columbia, with 

 ( n( ugh Russell, (Vcile Brunner, Ulricli 

 Hniiiner, Butterfly and Irish Elegance 

 to warrant mentioning. Butterfly has 

 sold well when available, since it com- 

 bines so well with the sweet peas which 

 are being received at present. The lat- 

 ter offering is holding up well, although 

 a little off color. There are plenty of 

 orchids available, and some gardenias, 

 although the latter could increase con- 

 siderably without affecting the prices. 

 There has been a slow sale for carna- 

 tions and most dealers report their stocks 

 as composed of short-stemmed new-crop 

 blooms. 



Various Notes. 



Seattle florists were shocked by the 

 news of the sudden death of Paul Rap- 

 pio, who has been in this section for 

 the last twenty years. He is survived 

 by a widow, two sons, Joseph and John, 

 and two daughters, Miss Christine Rap- 

 pio and Mrs. L. Raffo. 



Miss Rodd, of the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens, has returned from her vacation. 

 This firm is receiving some fine Helen 

 gladioli and October Frost mums from 

 its greenhouses. Charles Tabel has been 

 added to the staff. He has until re-
