The Florists' Review 



Jlxk S. 1922 



and other seasonable flowers were in 

 good demand. 



Among the new offerings last week 

 were rhododendrons and columbines, the 

 former coming mainly from out-of-town 

 florists. Peonies were in heavier sup- 

 ply, and some highly colored anenomes 

 proved popular with buyers. The 

 weather has been extremely hot, and 

 this has served to bring all outdoor 

 offerings along at a fast rate. Sweet 

 peas are common, but the coloring and 

 size of blooms have led to an easy clean- 

 up of this offering. 



Eoses are making a good showing, es- 

 pecially as to color, with Premier about 

 the fanciest. Houses handling the 

 potted Dorothy Perkins report a good 

 demand. The supply of carnations, 

 while heavy, barely served to fill the 

 demand for the holiday. 



There is still a good sale of bedding 

 stock, and the call for fuchsias has been 

 extra good. Martha Washington gera- 

 niums were another item that met with 

 a good demand, especially in the smaller 

 sizes. Potted mignonette, in 3-inch 

 pots, has been a good seller for shops 

 handy to the offices. 



Various Notes. 



Large shipments were required by the 

 B. E. Hammond Co. to care for the 

 nearby florists' needs on Memorial day, 

 and the volume of business has so far 

 been holding up better than was to be 

 expected for the summer months. 



Rosaia Bros, report an increase in the 

 cut of outdoor flowers at their green- 

 houses. The firm has been using these 

 to good advantage in a group of topical 

 window displays. There has been an in- 

 crease in the number of small social 

 decorations, and several good-sized wed- 

 dings have been handled. 



Stuber & Richardson are pretty well 

 through with all but potted plants for 

 the summer months, Ijut liave a large 

 number of mums propagated for the fall 

 business. The total is about the same 

 , as that of last year, but a greater per- 

 centage is devoted to standards. 



The Art Floral Co. enjoyed an es- 

 pecially good Memorial day trade, the 

 demand being about equally divided be- 

 tween cut flowers and potted offerings. 

 Some changes are being made in the 

 arrangements of this shop. 



Transient business for the holiday ex- 

 ceeded all expectations for Morgan's 

 Flower Shop, and this establishment dis- 

 posed of a large number of potted 

 Dorothy Perkins roses for use in ceme- 

 tery decorations. 



The Hollywood Gardens developed a 

 most unusual Memorial day window, in 

 which simplicity was the keynote. Gen- 

 eral activity in the way of social deco- 

 rations has been heavier of late. 



A nice run of shipping business is re- 

 ported for the Seattle Fern & Moss Co., 

 and judicious use of trade advertising 

 is constantly extending the clientele of 

 this house. 



Several attractive theater decorations 

 have been developed for the Winter 

 Garden theater by Melby 's Flower 

 Shop, the occasion of one of these being 

 the initial bill presented under new 

 management for this house. 



Felix Rosaia has been featuring popu- 

 lar cut items in his windows of late. 

 with good results. He has been moving 

 a large amount of stock. There has been 

 a continued call for potted geraniums 

 for resetting also. 



McCoy's window for Memorial day 

 was rendered effective through the use
