The Florists^ Review 



May 18, 1922 



Walter Hinz did all the banquet hard 

 work ill a businesslike manner.L. B. M 



seatti;e, wash. 



The Market. 



Unfavorable weather conditions have 

 kept down stocks of all kinds, so the 

 trade has easily cleaned up current 

 offerings. There has been fair delivery 

 of larkspur and a good demand for it. 

 The demand for cut forget-me-nots has 

 been ahead of the supply daily the last 

 week. On carnations the supply is 

 short, and at wholesale these arc cleaned 

 up as fast as offered. 



The supply of roses has been fair and 

 has cleared well. Daffodils and tulips 

 are about the only items that approach 

 oversupply. Some fine cut tulips are 

 being shown, and the varicolored va- 

 rieties, especially, are in good demand. 

 The cut of orchids is down to a mini- 

 mum and big demand would force the 

 trade to go elsewhere for its stock. 

 Sweet peas are showing up well as to 

 color. 



Bedding stock has been easy to sell, 

 and gladiolus bulbs have been money- 

 makers. 



Potted items are free-moving lines, 

 geraniums, tulips and hydrangeas being 

 the leaders. 



Various Notes. 



Wallace Beall, of the Beall Green- 

 houses, is receiving the sincere sympa- 

 thy of the entire trade over the acci- 

 dental death of his 3-year-old son last 

 week. The boy fell into an open post 

 hole and before he could be rescued had 

 strangled. 



Kenney's Home of Flowers has en- 

 joyed an increased transient business 

 during the few days of better weather. 

 This shop continues to show fine hy- 

 drangeas. 



Satisfactory progress on all crops at 

 the greenhouses is reported by Eosaia 

 Bros., with only a little good weather 

 needed to bring along a fine crop of 

 roses. Increased activity in the line of 

 social decorations has been noted, al- 

 though none of the recent commissions 

 has been large. Mrs. P. L. Eosaia has 

 returned from a short vacation follow- 

 ing the Easter rush. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. handled the 

 corsages for a university function last 

 week, using violets and sweet alyssum 

 to reproduce the school colors of purple 

 and gold. 



F. A. Allen, of the Pinehurst Floral 

 Shop, has returned from a visit with 

 relatives in Vancouver, B. C. He re- 

 ports trade conditions there as gener- 

 ally good. 



Better general business is reported 

 for the City Flower Shop, which has 

 been displaying some fine roses in its 

 Third avenue window. The sale of bed- 

 ding stock has been good, especially on 

 pansies. 



At the last regular meeting of the 

 Seattle Florists' Association the follow- 

 ing officers were named for the ensuing 

 year: President, Dr. Walter A. Moore, 

 of Hollywood Gardens; vice-president, 

 Harry A. Crouch, of the Woodlawn 

 Flower Shop; secretary, David L. Jones, 

 (if the Woodlawn Flower Shop, and treas- 

 urer, P. F. Eosaia, of Eosaia Bros. With 

 the exception of secretary, this consti- 

 tutes no change from the officials of the 

 previous year. A challenge was received 

 from the baseball club of the Spokane 

 Florists' Association for a game to be 

 played at the coming picnic of the local 

 association, and steps were taken to ar-
