The Florists^ Review 



JcMB 22. 1922 



Eeport of the annual meeting of the 

 California Association of Nurserymen ap- 

 pears in the Nursery Trade Department 

 of this issue. 



PASADENA, CAL. 



C. L. Washburn lias boon in town, on 

 a visit to liis son, E. B. Washburn, in- 

 specting the palm ranch at Sierra Ma- 

 dre. He left for Chicago June 16. 



A visit to the Bassett & Washburn 

 palm-growing establishment, at Sierra 

 Madre, is declared a treat for any flo- 

 rist by Henry A. Siebrecht, Jr., who 

 was there June 15. 



Closing exercises and graduations in 

 the Pasadena high school and the Marl- 

 borough school, in Los Angeles, brought 

 ■wonderful business to Siebrecht 's 

 House of Flowers. One solid load of 

 flowers was sent to the Los Angeles 

 school. 



LOS ANGELES, CAL. 



The Market. 



The glut of gladioli continues and 

 some of the wholesale houses are send- 

 ing out the flowers at ridiculously low 

 prices. The plentiful supply allows re- 

 tailers to make a good show for little 

 money and many of them are taking 

 advantage of it. A few fine dahlias are 

 in, but they are not much of a feature 

 as yet. Outdoor roses are scarce and in- 

 door roses are good and plentiful. Car- 

 nations from inside meet a ready mar- 

 ket, .but the outdoor flowers are poor 

 and sell cheaply. 



There is still a good demand for del- 

 pliiniums, Canterbury bells and snap- 

 dragons, as they make a good showing 

 and are cheap. Greens are scarce. 

 Wholesalers say that shipping is not 

 up to the average for this time of the 

 year. 



Various Notes. 



^ T. Honda, of Enomoto & Co., San 

 Francisco and Eedwood City, was a vis- 

 itor last week. Mr. Honda says that 

 business is good with his firm and notes 

 tliat, although some stock is cheaper at 

 San Francisco, better prices are being 

 obtained for gladioli, possibly on ac- 

 count of better shipping facilities. S. 

 Murata was showing Mr. Honda about. 

 ^ Edward Eeynolds, of George Hall & 

 Co., is taking a trip to Bakersfield, 

 Fresno and other points north of the 

 Tehachapi. Shipping business is pick- 

 ing up well here. 



Paul Miller reports a considerable im- 

 provement in shipping at the place of 

 the California Floral Co. 



Ralph L. Scott, of Portland, Ore., has 

 arrived in Los Angeles again and savs 

 that this time he intends to stay. 



Darling's Shop has some especially 

 fine window displays in choice gladioli 

 and roses. 



D. Stathatos, of the Broadway Flo- 

 rist, says he is more than satisfied with 

 the way business has been coming, es- 

 pecially in funeral work. 



Albert Goldenson opened his new 

 store at Sixth avenue and Spring street 



June 10 and in the first few days noted 

 a fine transient business. This is a 

 wonderfully busy corner and should 

 prove a success. He is still running the 

 store on West Sixth street. 



Howard & Smith report several good 

 decorations from the retail store, at 

 Ninth and Olive. 



The funeral of a well known pioneer 

 led to big business for Wright's Flower 

 Shop last week. 



At the store of tlie Alexandria Florist 

 a fine window decoration of the new 

 gladiolus, Virginia, was noted.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Trade activities for the last ten days 

 have been quiet. Little counter trade is 

 being done, while some graduation ex- 

 ercises have taken place during the 

 month of June, and also some doings in 



the order of the Eastern Star. Outdoor 

 flowers are becoming more plentiful 

 every day. Delphiniums are showing 

 in the market. Gaillardias and coreop- 

 sis are running second. Peonies are 

 past their prime, and during the hot 

 weather they were not in prime condi- 

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



Gus Weisenstein, of the Lakewood 

 Greenhouses, Milwaukie, Ore., intends 

 to leave for Chicago with his family the 

 latter part of June. He will combine 

 business with pleasure. 



Peter Bisset, of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, was a re- 

 cent visitor. He was shown the various 

 activities in horticultural lines, and en- 

 joyed a wonderful trip over our famous 

 highway. 



Martin & Forbes are showing some 

 fine zinnias in their store on Washing- 

 ton street. 



The rose festival board is lining the 



STATICE, the Everlasting Flower 



We have the finest quality of Statice this year that

 ful and cheap. Our Shasta Daisies have never been 

 better.
