The Florists' Review 



Jaxuauy: 20, 1921 



picking up in a few lines, but this will 

 not be true for long, as a number of the 

 growers will turn their benches to green- 

 house vegetables just as fast as their 

 mums are cleaned up. They say there 

 is greater profit in this section to the 

 small grower with no retail outlet in 

 the handling of cucumbers than there 

 is in the j'ear-around work witli 

 flowers. 



Funeral and decoration jobs have 

 been the biggest things to report lately 

 from a trade standpoint, with decora- 

 tions limited to medium sized jobs, but 

 plenty of tliem. 



There have been plenty of orchids 

 cut here of late, and tliese figure promi- 

 nently in decorations. Euphorbia, 

 Cecile Brunner roses, freesias, Ophelia 

 roses and violets have been the main 

 items comViined with the orchids. The 

 supply of valley is increasing. 



There has been a heavier delivery of 

 Ophelia roses, but this cut is still short 

 of that of Columbia and Ward, so far 

 as local deliveries are concerned. Port- 

 land growers have been sending in some 

 nice Ophelia and Eussell stock. Eetail- 

 ers report a persistent and Tinsatisfied 

 demand for deep red shades of roses. 



Traders are still forced to discourage 

 the sale of carnations, since good whites 

 are not overplentiful and good reds 

 scarcer. However, most deliveries are 

 stronger in stem and carry better. 



Various Notes. 



Jus Burkman, formerly connected 

 with the greenhouses of the Hollywood 

 Gardens and Kosaia Bros., and for the 

 last year liead of the greenhouses of 

 the Butte Floral Co., was a recent xis- 

 itor. He states that the trade en- 

 joyed a generally good holiday business 

 in Montana and made a showing more 

 nearly like that of previous years than 

 any other line of business. He made 

 the trip yirimarily to get a short rest, 

 and incidentally to look over orchids, 

 euphorbia and other flowers needed for 

 a big Wedding decoration. 



Frank Bell advises tliat ;is soon ;is 

 his current cut of mums is done lie will 

 plant his benches to cucumbers and to- 

 matoes and practically drop tlowers 

 until next fall. 



Jacob I'nlauiT, who was recently 

 named toin|X)rarily city (lark superin- 

 tendent, has been confirmed :is the per- 

 manent official by the Seattle board of 

 park commissioners. 



A. Barton, who recently n])cned a 

 small shop in Yakima, will increase the 

 size of his slio]i three feet on either 

 side, to l.".\2,3 feet. 



W. D. Desmond, of Risdon & Des- 

 mond, has been receiving the con- 

 dolences of the trade on the death of 

 his mother, Mrs. Nellie Comforth, at 

 Larimore. X. D., December 24. 



The Hollywood Gardens reports a 

 continued good demand for cut stock. 

 It has been making an attractive show- 

 ing of potted stock of late. William 

 Holmes lias disposed of his home in the 

 university district and will make his 

 home at the Castle apartments. 



Melby & Allen report an increase in 

 funeral demand. This firm also handled 

 some novel luncheon decorations. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Allen were hosts last week 

 at a dinner for a number of the local 

 florists. 



The Burns Floral Co. has been sliow- 

 ing the best mums coming into tlie mar- 

 ket nt this time and reports n real 

 scnrcity of fine yellow stock.
