The Florists' Review 



January 27, 1921 



during the last week, and reports east- 

 ern stocks shaping up well. This firm 

 is shipping bulbous offerings and freesias 

 heavily at the present time. 



What is conceded to be the largest 

 wedding decoration handled here this 

 season was handled last week by Eosaia 

 Bros. One of the most elaborately fur- 

 nished residences in the city was the 

 scene of this event, and full advantage 

 of this splendid setting was taken. In 

 the entrance hall wall pockets of pink 

 mums, stevia, asparagus and cibotium 

 were used along with tall baskets of 

 Ophelia roses and lily of the valley. The 

 dining room was used for the bride's 

 cake, and the central table was sur- 

 rounded by four others bearing five large 

 orchid plants with about seventy-five 

 blooms. The central table was strewn 

 with cut cattleyas and Adiantum Far- 

 leyense, while the groom's cake was 

 shown in tTie adjoining room on a table 

 with four baskets of Ward roses, sweet 

 poas, lily of the valley and stevia. The 

 bridal ceremony was held in the drawing 

 room, and a pergola effect was secured by 

 the use of freesias, white mums and as- 

 paragus on a white background. The 

 aislo for the bridal party was made 

 of two large baskets and fourteen stands 

 containing white chrysanthemums and 

 asparagus and flanked by large wicker 

 lamps topping white mums. Yellow 

 mums formed the decorations in the 

 conservatory, while a pink scheme was 

 carried out in the living room with pink 

 and white mums, Columbia roses and 

 woodwardia ferns. The bride's bouquet 

 was one of the most elaborate ever made 

 here, containing white orchids and 

 phala^nopsis showered with lily of the 

 valley. The bouquets for the women 

 attendants were also elaborate, three 

 using orchids and pink cyclamens, and 

 two containing Columbia roses, orchids 

 and cyclamens. A basket of baby roses 

 showered with sweet peas was used by 

 the little flower girl. 



Charles E. Sullivan and Miss Zula 

 Crreen have returned to the Woodlawn 

 Flower Shop following their usual post- 

 holiday vacation of one week, while Mrs. 

 Kuth Muenah and A. Moore are away 

 at present. This shop has been showing 

 some fine daffodils from local growers of 

 late. Miss Lillian Carlson lias resigned 

 her position as bookkeojior with this firm 

 and will return to her liome in pastern 

 Washington. 



John Balnier, the Clo Ehnn grower 

 whose sweet peas have attracted the at 

 tention of the retailers of late, was » 

 street visitor last week. He says the 

 stock has been holding up well and that 

 continued shipments may De expected for 

 some little time. 



An attractive window of spring flow 

 ers was arranged at the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens by S. A. Dunlap last week, the 

 display proving a veritable breath of 

 spring as compared %vith the snow on 

 the streets for several days. Tulips, 

 hyacinths, lily of tlio valley in ])ots ;ind 

 pussy willows were the main items used 

 here. This shop showed the first liome- 

 grown azaleas, and has also been offering 

 some fine primroses. Miss Wlinrton and 

 Russell Jones have been on short vaca- 

 tions. 



Charles Cole, of McCoy's, is another 

 of the local trade who hns been enjoying 

 a short vacation, except that in this case 

 "enjoying" must be used advisedly. A 

 greater share of this period was spent 

 in the dentist's chair. A steady increase 

 in tlic cut from its greenhouses is re
