The Florists' Review 



July 14. 1021 



to send members of the staff on their 

 vacations in rotation. The firm has 

 considerable funeral work. 



Mr. and Mrs. Darbee are expected 

 back soon from a long automobile trip 

 into some of the unfrequented beauty 

 spots of California and Oregon. They 

 went to Crescent City, in Del Norte 

 county; across the mountains to Grant's 

 Pass, Ore.; by the Columbia highway 

 to Portland, returning along the coast 

 and the Sacramento valley. General 

 and Mrs. Gooch^ of this firm, spent July 

 4 camping on the banks of the Russian 

 river. 



Tlie United Flower & Supply Co. has 

 found wt'uther conditions so unusual 

 this season that chrysanthemums are 

 expected ten days, at least, earlier than 

 usual. I. Inque states that they had to 

 pinch off ten days before the usual date 

 and the crop promises to come in early. 



Enomoto & Co., while commenting 

 with interest on the fact that asters are 

 in the market, stated that their grow- 

 ers will not send in the kind fitted for 

 shipping till the third week in July. 

 The popularity of strawflowers is on the 

 increase, according to Mr. Enomoto. 



Domoto Bros, have had the baby pur- 

 ple pompon chrysanthemums in for 

 some weeks. Local florists have been 

 using these flowers for decorative pur- 

 poses. 



Mori Bros., growers of San Mateo, 

 have had some Golden Glow chrysan- 

 themums for some weeks, but they are 

 not yet of shipping quality. The first 

 mums did not make the sensation, lo- 

 cally, that the first asters did. 



When Victor 'Podesta, of Podesta & 

 Baldocchi, visited Italy some months 

 ago, he bought at Naples some porcelain 

 baskets, known as ceramica. These 

 have now arrived and, filled with roses, 

 lilies of the valley and other flowers, 

 are attracting much attention as a win- 

 dow display. 



Angclo Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co., is passing his vacation with his 

 family at Skaggs' Springs. P. L. 

 Rosaia, of this firm, has returned from 

 visiting his brothers, who are florists 

 in Seattle. 



Fred Bertrand, of the Palace Hotel 

 Flower Shop, stayed and worked over 

 the recent holidays, allowing his staff 

 to take vacations. He is going to Eu- 

 reka with his fellow Shriners. 



B.' M. Joseph, of Joseph's, has re- 

 turned from his vacation, which was 

 spent in Vancouver, B. C, and on the 

 island of that name. M. M. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Marset. 



There was little interest in sales last 

 week, but stock deliveries are not 

 heavy, so that this is causing little in- 

 convenience to the trade as a whole. 

 Business of late has been mainly con- 

 fined to social decorations and funeral 

 work, although there was some work in 

 the decorating of floats for the Inde- 

 pendence day parade. Roses are plen- 

 tiful, and there has probably been a 

 greater share of these blooms used in 

 funeral work than at any other time 

 this year. Ulrich Brunner must still 

 be ranked as the market leader at this 

 time, and the fine quality of the late 

 cut has been a big factor in maintain- 

 ing the prices on this variety. Colum- 

 bia and Ophelia are both in lighter sup- 

 ply, and the cut of Butterfly is light.
