The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 10, 1921. 



measures four and one-half inches 

 across and the cup two and one-half 

 inches deep, with a spread on top of 

 one and one-half inches. The price of 

 the bulbs is still too high to replace the 

 standard varieties of smaller flowers, 

 however. 



The funeral of a prominent Seattle 

 man was the occasion for a lot of tele- 

 grams from Seattle florists who were 

 trying to get stock. Eugene Lamble, 

 manager for L. W. McCoy, made a spe- 

 cial trip here to buy orchids and re- 

 ported business good, but stock not up 

 to standard. 



Weddeman Bros, are bringing in the 

 best carnations so far this season. This 

 firm has fared well with its rooted 

 carnation cuttings, having sold over 

 25,000 to local growers. Of this number 

 10,000 were Enchantress Supreme. 



Thomas Luke sent a shipment of 

 Oregon grape, pussy willows and salal 

 to Mrs. Warren G. Harding to be used 

 in the decoration for the inaugural ball. 

 This was a gift from the Smith Flower 

 Shop. A book on the Oregon country 

 was also enclosed. A basket of fine 

 Darwin tulips was the window attrac- 

 tion last week at the Smith Floral Shop. 



Mrs. Mazey, of Minneapolis, Minn., 

 spent a day in this city, en route to 

 California. 



S. A. Dunlap and wife are again in 

 this city. Mr. Dunlap is to be man- 

 ager and part owner of a new flower 

 store soon to be opened here, which 

 will be known as the Swetland Flower 

 Shop. Associated with him are Fred 

 Young, wholesale grower of this city, 

 and Mr. Hawkins, owner of the Swet- 

 land Candy Shop. The opening day has 

 not been set, but will likely be early in 



March.

SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



An extremely heavy rush of funeral 

 work and a good general business com- 

 bined to give a fine showing for the last 

 week in February, and most shops were 

 able to report a month 's business which 

 compared in volume of sales more than 

 favorably with the same period in 1020. 

 The difference in prices, of course, 

 meant that the gross cash turnover was 

 less, l)ut this failed to change the fact 

 that in the Pacific ncirtliwest the flo- 

 rists' trade is probably more nearly nor- 

 mal than almost any other line. 



Growing weather has been all that 

 could be asked, but there is still an ad- 

 mitted feeling on the jiart of tlie grow- 

 ers that Enstor lilies are not all going to 

 be ready for the holiday. Tliat there 

 will be more than enoiigli to care for 

 local business is conceded, and a num- 

 ber of greenhouse men are in a position 

 to offer some fine stock for shipj)ing. 

 That prices are more reasonable is also 

 generally conceded, and this is expected 

 to helj) in the matter of sales to the 

 public. 



As far as new offerings went, the first 

 cut Easter lilies from local growers 

 proved about the only novelty seen in 

 last week's market. 'There have been 

 more plentiful deliveries of potted 

 spring offerings and members of the 

 trade agree that bulbous stock deliv- 

 eries this season are finer than anything 

 seen here in late j'ears. 



The cut of roses is showing some im- 

 provement, but local growers are still 

 unable to care for the trade needs. 

 Some of the first California American 

 Beauties seen here in some time were
