The Rorists' Review 



JUNK 23, 1921 



that business while Mr. and Mrs. Dar- 

 bee are taking an automobile trip into 

 Oregon, plan to start on a similar tour 

 as soon as the latter get back. 



Mr. Raymond, of the Garden City 

 Pottery Co., San Jose, Cal., was in San 

 Francisco and reported that he has had 

 no difficulty in selling all the flower 

 pots he can turn out. 



Vacations are keeping busy those of 

 the staff who remain at F. C. Jaeger 

 & Son's. 



San Francisco growers have taken 

 steps to organize a company for the 

 manufacture of their own pots, in the 

 hope of producing them cheaper than 

 they can buy them. It is likely the 

 factory will bo located either at Bi«h- 

 mond, an industrial suburb on the east 

 side of San Francisco bay, or in Visi- 

 tacion valley, south of San Francisco. 



Angelo J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co., worked hard for the big Booster 

 ball and festival held in the civic audi- 

 torium^ June 18, launching a gigantic 

 advertising campaign for northern and 

 central California. He served as chair- 

 man of the committee on decorations 

 and also on the floor committee at the 

 dance. A feature of the decorations 

 was the transformation of the Polk 

 street hall of the auditorium into a 

 flower garden, in which were set re- 

 freshment booths of all descriptiohs.

SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Summer quietness has been the rule 

 of late. Increasing quantities of water 

 lilies and an improvement in the quality 

 of outdoor sweet peas are the only 

 changes to report. However, there was 

 enough funeral and general decoration 

 work at the close of the week so that 

 the trade did not have to carry over 

 large surpluses. 



The usual interest in early deliveries 

 of water lilies has been manifested, 

 and practically every shop has used 

 these flowers as a whole or part of its 

 window display. Other seasonal items 

 which have been featured include some 

 fine snapdragon, Siberian iris, some 

 stocks, columbine and oriental poppies. 



There has been a small cut of orchids, 

 but it has been ample to meet the de- 

 mands, since most of the recent wed- 

 dings have been simple. One shop 

 handled a wedding last week by using 

 the different shades of peonies for the 

 bride and bridesmaids and sweet peas 

 for the flower girl. The cut of peonies 

 is increasing rapidly and, from present 

 indications, may easily lead to a mar- 

 ket glut. Gladioli are also improving 

 steadily, both as to quantity and qual- 

 ity. Among the short-stemmed items, 

 calendulas and anemones have been 

 common and sweet peas continue a fa- 

 vorite. 



Ulrich Brunner roses are in good 

 supply and selling freely, deliveries be- 

 ing all that could be desired. Locally 

 grown Cecile Brunncrs are more plenti- 

 ful, and there have been a better deliv- 

 ery and sale of Russell. Butterfly and 

 Columbia are also plentiful. 



Carnations are showing more strength 

 of stem, and somewhat better color, but 

 irregular weather conditions are affect- 

 ing full color development on all out- 

 side offerings. 



Taking decorations as a whole, grad- 

 uations have been about the best source 

 of trade income, and those who have

fairly accurate figures say that there 

 has been a greater use of flo'vvers this

 to the fact that prices arc still high on

Various Notes. 



Interest in the work of the publicity 

 committee of the Seattle Florists' As- 

 sociation shows no sign of abating, and 

 more and more indications are seen that 

 the cooperative advertising is going to 

 succeed. Five more of the growers
