The Florists' Review

baskets. The steamer sailings bring 

 busy days, and sailings are becoming 

 frequent. 



The MacEorie-McLaren Co. finds that 

 business is holding up remarkably well, 

 after Easter, according to the manager, 

 L. J. Capurro. 



George Severini and August Filie 

 started in business at Twenty-second 

 and Broadway, Oakland, Cal., as the 

 Key Boute Inn Florists, only a few 

 months ago. Mr. Severini stated last 

 week that business has been excellent. 



The Ferry Florists find that the pop- 

 ular fancy in corsage bouquets, just 

 now, is running to tulips. Especially 

 do the ferry commuters want baby 

 roses, in combination with tulips, for 

 street and dinner wear, M. M.

colored yellow bloom, exceptionally 

 large and long of stem, and is called 

 No. 4. 



Carl E. Melby, lately with the Pine- 

 hurst Floral Shop, is about to start a 

 new shop of his own. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. has been 

 showing some fine late Vermilion Bril- 

 liant tulips and white cyclamens in pots, 

 both of which have proved to be good 

 sellers. 



F. Van dcr Schoot, of R. A. Van 

 der Schoot, a Holland bulb house, 

 called on the northwest trade during 

 the last two weeks. He is planning to 

 return to England as quickly as possiblef, 

 calling on the Canadian trade en route. 

 E. 0. Peterson, of the Hollywood 

 Gardens, has been enjoying a short vaca- 

 tion, and, on his return, Russell Jones 

 is to leave. Rather novel wedding 

 bouquets were developed by Miss Whar- 

 ton, of this shop, for one of the week's 

 social events. The four bridesmaids' 

 bouquets were made of forget-me-nots, 

 Delphinium Belladonna and blue hya- 

 cinths, bound in two shades of blue 

 tulle. The bouquet for the matron of 

 honor consisted of a sheaf of long- 

 stemmed Darwin tulips. The bride 

 carried five Easter lilies. The breaking 

 away from the usual in wedding decora- 

 tions was the cause of much comment 

 here. 



The Piiiehurst Floral Shop has been 

 showing some splendid locally grown 

 snapdragon and portulacas, and in addi- 

 tion Dr. Allen has been able to feature 

 Keizerskroon grown in his own yard. 

 He will have about 500 blooms to cut 

 this season. 



W. A. Beall, who owns greenhouses 

 at Vashon, Wash., reports a notable 

 increase in the cut of Ophelia and Co- 

 lumbia roses, but the halt in California 

 shipments has placed such a load on the 

 local growers that the demand is still 

 ahead of supplies at times. 



William Goldsbary, of Kenney's Home 

 of Flowers, has returned from a busi- 

 ness trip to Vancouver, where he found 

 the florists reporting generally satis- 

 factory business. There has been an 

 especially good showing this year in 

 business occasioned by trans-Pacific 

 travel. 



L. W. McCoy showed the first Japa- 

 nese cherry blossoms of the season, and 

 is drawing from his greenhouses what 

 are considered the best of the local 

 Laddie carnations. La Verne Jackson 

 spent the last week end in Bremerton. 

 Rosaia Bros, handled a good share of 

 the booth decorations for the automobile 

 show and used more roses' in tliis work 



Do You Know This? 



"We have a glazing material that 

 is better than putty. It is called 



fEALRITE 



because that is just what it does-it SEALS- RIGHT. 



Applied with putty knife or glazing gun, SEAL- 

 RITE makes every pane of glass air-tight. Remain- 

 ing elastic within while hardening on the outside, 



SEALRITE yields to contraction 

 and expansion due to changing 

 weather conditions, but will not 

 crack or peel. 



Unexcelled as air-tight, gas-tight 

 covering for boiler settings. 



No moisture can make its way 

 through a layer of SEALRITE; 

 therefore it is the ideal covering 

 for retaining walls and cisterns. 



Cement, concrete, wood, brick 

 and stone are given longer life 

 when protected by SEALRITE.
