The Florists^ Review 



JANUARY 13, 1921 



risu Co., spent a short vacation at Pa- 

 louse, Wash. 



Monday, January 10, the regular 

 meeting of the Florists' Club was hold. 

 Plans for the annual banquet, which is 

 usually held in February, were made. 



Mrs. S. Younkin's mother is well on 

 the road to recovery. She was seriously 

 ill during the holiday season. 



December 31 was a record day for cor- 

 sage work. Some stores wore kept busy 

 from early morning until late at night. 

 All available violets, sweet peas, bou- 

 vardia and roses were used. Funeral 

 work was also heavy immediately after 

 Christmas. H. H.

The Market. 



The Christmas rush being over, the 

 difficulty is to get enough stock to keep 

 a fairly good-looking display in the 

 different shops. All of the wholesalers 

 cleaned up on blooming jjlants this 

 season. As a whole, there was never a 

 better lot of stock to offer tlie public 

 than was shown this year. Poinsettias, 

 cyclamens and begonias were in the 

 best of condition. There were few 

 mums, Maude Dean being the only va- 

 riety the stores had to offer. Orchids 

 were not plentiful, and the few that 

 came in were soon sold. There was an 

 absence of pickled carnations this year, 

 as the continuous cloudy weather for 

 1 e last three months has been unfavor- 

 ;, lie for the carnation growers, and it 

 has caused most varieties to become 

 soft, making it impossible to hold any 

 over. 



Home-grown violets have been scarce 

 this season and so the retailers had to 

 depend on shipments from California. 

 With the additional express charges, 

 this was not a profitable business, 

 tliough some stores advertised them in 

 their windows at cost price. 



Paper White narcissi and freesias 

 are arriving in plentiful numbers and 

 a ready sale is found for them. In fact, 

 everything in small flowers that can 

 be used for corsage work is cleaned up 

 every day. The week's vacation that 

 was given tlie students, from Christ- 

 mas to New Year's, brought a large 

 number of them home for the holidays, 

 and many dancing parties were given 

 during the week, keeping all the stores 

 busy with corsage work every after- 

 noon. 



Roses are getting scarce and the 

 few that arrive daily are soon sold out 

 at a good price, ranging from $4 to 

 $7. no per dozen. 



Various Notes. 



Rahn & Herbert report that their 

 stock for Christmas was completely 

 sold out. 



Niklas & Son had their new Ford in 

 time for the holiday rush, which was a 

 big help for them in the delivery de- 

 partment. This firm sold out a big 

 stock of strawflowcrs which they liad 

 arranged in baskets during the dull 

 periods earlier in the month. They had 

 a wedding decoration December 29, the 

 home being tastefully decorated with 

 cut pink poinsettias. 



The Martin & Forbes Co. had the 

 biggest cut of roses for Christmas that 

 it has ever had and of the best quality. 

 Ophelia was a little more plentiful than 

 any of the others. Hadley had all 

 been sold in advance, and so the last- 

 minute buyers found nothing left in 

 red. In fact, all cut flower sales ceased
