The Florists' Review 



JOLY 21. 1921 



selecting a boiler for greenhouse heat- 

 ing, it would be advisable to select one 

 rated for about one-third more radiation 

 than will be used in the house, for hard 

 coal, and to allow fifty to sixty per cent 

 if soft coal is to be used.

a run of funeral work, which has 

 cleaned up stock in good order. A re- 

 cent noteworthy decoration was for a 

 club luncheon, where sweet peas of many 

 shades and bachelor's buttons were com- 

 bined, making au attractive setting. 



Ben Del Fanti has resigned his posi- 

 tion with the Pinehurst Floral Shop. 



The City Flower Shop is the latest 

 to use water lilies as the basis of a win- 

 dow display, a medium-sized tank, 

 flanked with moss, being used for the 

 container. 



George Eosaia, of Kosaia Bros., witli 

 his entire family, has left on a vaca- 

 tion trip to California, and Louis Sca- 

 gle, of the same shop, accompanied 

 them. They will drive both ways and 

 expect to be away more than a month. 

 P. F. Rosaia and L. Ghilarducci, of the 

 California Florists, Tacoma, have just 

 returned from the same trip and Mr. 

 Rosaia reports the roads in excellent 

 condition for the greater part ot the 

 way. A lieavier cut of Butterfly roses 

 is seen at the greenhouses of Rosaia 

 Bros. 



A summer window has been devel- 

 oped by McCoy 's, with mirrors, moss, 

 ferns and foliage combined to make a 

 miniature landscape, which can easily 

 be freshened when necessary. Funeral 

 work showed an increase, both for local 

 and out-of-town work. 



Mrs. Sandahl, of the Orplieum Flor.il 

 Co., is at present away on her vaca- 

 tion. Some fine holly ferns have been 

 handled by this shop recently and were 

 used in effective window displays. 



C. H. Benson is brinj;ing in some fine 

 forced rubrum lilies, the color lieing es 

 ])ecially good. 



The Pinehurst Flor.il Shop showed ;i 

 novel window last week. The effect 

 was jiroduced by using fine oriental 

 rugs of neutral shades for the floor .-ind 

 as drai)es, with all flowers in tlH> win 

 dow shown on low stands, l^or short- 

 stemmed flow<'rs, this makes a full ilis 

 pl;iy of the blooms ]iossible. 



Alteration work on the new lionie of 

 the Woodlawn Flower Shop, whicli is 

 located at Second avenue and F^nion 

 street, has already been started, .'il- 

 though nothing definite has been ile 

 cided as to when the move can be madr. 

 ]\Iiss Zula fJreeii is away on two weeks' 

 vacation. i)art of which will be s]ient 

 on a motor tri]) to liake Quinault nnd 

 the remainder in visits to various Ore- 

 i^on beatdies. 



A better demand for flowers markeil 

 the close of l;ist week at Melby 's Flower 

 Slioj), with funeral busin(>ss furnishing 

 the ;;ve;iter share of this increase.
