The Rorists^ Review 



March 24. 1921. 



finely flowered specimens of ramblers 

 were shown during the week. Eussell 

 is the best of the current deliveries 

 from California, with one large lot of 

 White Killarney brought in for a spe- 

 cial decoration. 



The local cut of carnations continues 

 spotted, one or two growers bringing 

 in as nice stock as could be asked for, 

 while other lots are not holding up as 

 well as should be the case. This has led 

 to some buying in Portland and Spok- 

 ane, and Yakima valley growers are 

 also delivering some stock at this time. 



Various Notes. 



One local grower is showing a dis- 

 tinct novelty in the form of a pink, 

 dwarf Easter lily never before grown 

 in this country and originated in Japan. 

 This is of an orchid-pink shade and it 

 cannot be forced. "While being shown 

 in a small way already, it cannot be 

 offered in commercial quantities until 

 next season, it is stated. 



Albert W. Itamage has been added to 

 the staff of the Pinehurst Floral Co. 

 and arrangements are being made for 

 additional space. Last week's activ- 

 ities included several out-of-town wed- 

 dings. 



The new greenhouse of the Beall 

 Greenhouse Co., on Vashion island, has 

 been practically completed. This con- 

 cern is showing some fine hydrangeas, 

 the stock being sturdy enough to need 

 no staking, while the colors are excel- 

 lent. 



The annual convention of the north- 

 west division of the Eotary Club, held 

 here last week, brought a great deal of 

 business for the Woodlawn Flower Shop, 

 Harry Crouch being the Rotary florist 

 for Seattle. Al Moore developed an at- 

 tractive window, with a sunken foun- 

 tain set in the foreground, surrounded 

 by spring flowers and fruit blossoms, 

 while at night the effect was height- 

 ened with colored lights playing on the 

 blooms. The background was made of 

 specially painted scenery representing a 

 marine landscape. 



A. C. Aldridge, of the M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia, was a trade visitor last 

 week and left for Portland, Ore. J. P. 

 Schmal, representing the General Bulb 

 Co., of Holland, also completed his visit 

 and entertained a number of florists at 

 dinner before leaving. Mr. Sisler, rep- 

 resenting Andrew Haxton & Co., of 

 Yakima, Wash., was another trade vis- 

 itor. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. has been 

 showing some fine bulbous stock. 



The Hollywood Gardens is offering 

 the best home-grown sweet peas since 

 the season's opening and also some ex- 

 cellent hydrangeas. There has been a 

 much better demand for violets. Lilies 

 at the greenhouses will be ready for 

 Easter. 



F. J. Bell has been bringing in some 

 of the best late narcissi and will turn 

 his benches to vegetables as the indoor 

 stock clears up. 



J. E. Lamble, of L. W. McCoy's, has 

 returned from a stock-buying trip to 

 Portland, Ore., and reports most stocks 

 as coming along splendidly. This firm's 

 greenhouses are supplying some fine 

 white orchids and a much increased cut 

 of sweet peas. 



George Eosaia, of Bosaia Bros., spent 

 a recent week-end at Portland, going 

 over the stock situation there. A win-

 den of Eden in a shadow box, connect-
