The Florists^ Review

several months, in order to have a suffi- 

 cient supply on hand for the holidays, 

 and is now rewarded for his work by the 

 popularity of the idea and the many ex- 

 pressions of appreciation of the orig- 

 inality displayed in the designs. 



The nursery stock of the MacKorie- 

 McLaren Co. was about depleted in the 

 way of potted plants for the Christ- 

 mas trade. Due to the lateness of the 

 heather, there was more of this on hand, 

 but eastern shipments were fast clear- 

 ing out the potted heather, Fred Ber- 

 tram, manager of the Powell street 

 store, states that there will be a cut 

 of heather a little later, both for local 

 consumption and for eastern shipping. 

 The nursery at San Mateo was entered 

 by burglars on December 16 and was 

 robbed of plants and flowers valued at 



^ about $150. As yet no trace of the 

 / thieves has been found. 



,J\ Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co., 

 states that the shortage of flowers 

 brought on by the recent cold weather 

 made it difficult to supply the constantly 

 growing eastern orders M. M. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The sale of cut flowers dropped off 

 considerably last week, although the de- 

 mand for funeral flowers, the many 

 Christmas decorations and the prepara- 

 tions for the holiday trade kept all hands 

 busy, including the extra help. Stock 

 was so plentiful last week that it was 

 not likely that there would be a scarcity 

 this week; a shortage of roses would be 

 made up from the heavy California ship- 

 ments. All potted stock was high; cy- 

 clamens of good quality seldom brought 

 less than $2.50 wholesale. 



Betailers Meet. 



At the special meeting of the Seattle 

 Retail Florists' Association November 

 18 W. H. Paulhamus, president of the 

 fair association, spoke to the members 

 on advertising through displays at the 

 Puyallup fair, which takes place during 

 the month of October. At this meeting 

 a committee was appointed to investi- 

 gate and decide on what type of build- 

 ing should be erected on the fair grounds 

 for the use of the florists. The fair as- 

 sociation is willing to meet the whole 

 cost of erecting such a building as may 

 be chosen by this committee, which is 

 composed as follows: Mr. Clark, P. F. 

 Rosaia, H. A. Crouch, Mr. Hulmes and 

 George Antoney. At the last meeting 

 of the association, the chief topic of dis- 

 cussion was pool advertising. A good 

 suggestion offered by P.'F. Rosaia was 

 that of advertising collectively every 

 week in the leading paper in the form 

 of a story about a particular flower, tak- 

 ing a different flower each week. In 

 that way people could be taught the 

 meaning of the names of different flow- 

 ers and thus could be more easily per- 

 suaded to "Say It with Flowers." 



Various Notes. 



Stuber & Richardson have had a heavy 

 cut of Maud Dean, Chadwick, Golden 

 Chadwick and Marigold mums. They 

 have also been cutting carnations, at 

 first only about 1,000 a day. Their cut of 

 Klondyke and other pompons found 

 ready sales. 



Rosaia Bros, have received some fine 

 roses from their greenhouses, notably 

 Premier, which thrives well in this vi-
