The Florists' Review 



Jdlx 3, 1913. 



Mfg. Co., Chicago, was in town this 

 week and reports business satisfactory. 



Frank Teufel has purchased a new 

 machine, roadster type. 



H. J. Hefty has taken a position in 

 Vancouver, B. C. 



Hans Niklas left for Chicago this 

 week. He will be gone several weeks. 



A. Burkhart says window boxes and 

 tubs are one of the best sellers he has. 

 Being located in the residence district, 

 he carries a good stock at all times.

The Market. 



As usual at this season, there is not 

 much doing in cut flowers. The cars 

 from suburban districts have many pas- 

 sengers carrying in flowers to their 

 friends, so that the few who do not 

 have gardens are kept well supplied by 

 the many who have, and there is conse- 

 quently not much demand for flowers 

 at the stores. Funeral work and wed- 

 dings, however, have been plentiful and 

 there has not been much unsold stock. 

 Carnations are not so low in price as 

 they have been at this time and good 

 roses are ready sellers. 



The Rose Show. 



With an attendance of 40,000 people, 

 an ideal spot to hold a show, fair weath- 

 er and, for the most part, satisfied ex- 

 hibitors, the second annual rose show 

 of the Mount Baker Park Improvement 

 Club may well be said to have been an 

 unqualified success. The exhibits by 

 amateurs were an improvement on last 

 year's show and prove that there are 

 many good and enthusiastic rose grow- 

 ers in this city. Their roses in many 

 instances would compare favorably with 

 those of professional growers. The 

 bloom of Melanie Soupert which won 

 the sweepstake prize and gold medal 

 for best individual rose was a beauty. 



The trade was fairly well represented. 

 Some notable exhibitors were conspicu- 

 ous by their absence, but those present 

 more than made up for it. The H. B. 

 Burdett Co. had an artistic display, but 

 owing to neglect in finishing was not 

 in the prize list. The display of the 

 Rosery certainly deserved its place on 

 the prize list. The Burns Floral Co. 

 was well represented and had a most 

 attractive stand. Thomas Wylie put up 

 a show of perennials that received con- 

 siderable attention. Eosaia Bros, had 

 a good background of palms and 

 roses and nsed sweet peas for the 

 centerpiece. The Seattle Landscape & 

 Nursery Co. had a varied collection of 

 roses, shrubbery, alpines and perennials 

 and the booth was crowded for most of 

 the two days. J. J. Bonnell, the Aab- 

 ling-Ebright Co. and the Burdett Co. all 

 had good displays of shrubbery, new 

 roses, etc. Following is the prize list 

 for the trade: 



Potted plants and cut flowers— The Rosery, 

 first; the Seattle Landscape & Nursery Co., sec- 

 ond. 



Lawn shrubs — J. 3. Bonnell. first. 



Long-stemmed roses— The Rosery. first. 



Blooms— The Seattle Landscape & Nursery Co., 

 first: J. J. Bonnell, second. _ 



Perennials— Thomas Wylle, first. 



Various Notes. 



Eosaia Bros, are erecting a new rose 

 house, 40x100 feet, at their plant at 

 Thomas. This looks as though they 

 were satisfied that roses can be 'success- 

 fully grown under glass here. 



J, J. Bonnell is shortly to make a
