The Florists' Review 



March 17. 1921. 



Walter Armacost & Co., says Mr. Wil- 

 liamson, and it looks that way. Every- 

 body is busy and there is plenty of fine 

 stock. Boses will be in good crop for 

 the coming holiday. H. E. B. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



An active demand for the spring of- 

 ferings, coupled with a heavy funeral 

 call last week, served to keep stock 

 cleaned up. Eetailcrs agree that busi- 

 ness has shown less of a depression than 

 they would have been willing to predict 

 at the beginning of this year. Growing 

 weather has been about as good for 

 local stock as previously reported, with 

 the result that outdoor daffodils are 

 now being offered freely and outdoor 

 stock in other lines has been making 

 satisfactory progress. The first of the 

 potted Easter lilies have appeared and 

 growers advise that hydrangeas will be 

 far enough along to make deliveries by 

 the end of this week. The local cut 

 of roses is increasing and two stores 

 are getting enough stock to be able to 

 discontinue tke shipment of California 

 roses. Ward, Crusader and Butterfly 

 are increasing in quantity, while Co- 

 lumbia remains the market leader. 



There is a rather light cut of orchids 

 to report, and the supply of lily of the 

 valley is not more than enough to care 

 for the existing demand. This has led 

 to extensive use of white sweet peas 

 and some nice stock is being delivered. 



Various Notes. 



William Holmes, of the Hollywood 

 Gardens, notes a growing tendency on 

 the part of buyers of large funeral 

 pieces to leave the selection of the sub- 

 ject to the florist. He believes this is 

 something the trade can well keep 

 under control and every simple and 

 artistic design delivered is just one 

 more wedge in the real popularizing 

 of real flowers. 



J. P. Schmal, representing the Gen- 

 eral Bulb Co., Holland, has returned 

 from a trip to Vancouver and Victoria, 

 B. C. Since his return he was delayed 

 here several days by a minor illness, 

 but left for Portland, Ore., early last 

 week. 



The first potted Easter lilies of this 

 season wore shown last week by Bosnia 

 Bros. This firm has some fine hydran- 

 geas coming along. A novelty used in 

 window display last week was a bloom- 

 ing Christmas cactus, its red blossoms 

 attracting passers-by. 



W. D. Desmond, of Bisdon & Des- 

 mond, says that his firm expects to 

 have as fine a stock of Easter lilies as 

 it has ever grown. Some of the best 

 sweet peas coming to hand now are 

 being sent in by this firm. 



N. B. Healy, of the Seattle Fern & 

 Moss Co., reports an early inquiry for 

 Easter lilies from the intermountain 

 country, which would presage a ship- 

 ping business ahead of anything yet 

 reported for this section of the coast. 



La Verne Jackson, of L. W. McCoy's, 

 spent the week-end on a short vacation 

 trip into Kitsap county. 



Ben Delfonti, of. the Winter Garden 

 Flower Shop, reports that he has had 

 good business since the opening of this 

 shop less than a month ago. 



The Woodlawn Flower Shop has been 

 featuring fruit blossoms for general 

 decorations, and has disposed of large 

 quantities. Some nice local roses from 

 the Beall Greenhouses, on Vashon
