The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 16, 1918. 



cousin from Stockton, and they together 

 motored to the nurseries of the Mac- 

 Borie-McLaren Co., at San Mateo. 



William S. Eenne, superintendent of 

 the John Martin estate, at Boss, has 

 been growing some fine specimen mum 

 plants. Some of Mr. Bonne's potted 

 mums carry 150 flowers. He is also lay- 

 ing out the grounds of the Duval Moore 

 estate, at Boss, which promises to be 

 an attractive place. 



The Panama-Pacific Exposition Co. is 

 preparing to exhibit some fine speci- 

 mens of bougainvillea plants at the 

 coming flower show, to be held at the 

 Fairmont hotel. The plants stand fully 

 fourteen feet in height, are pyramidal in 

 shape and are covered with a mass of 

 blooms. 



The Art Floral Co., on Powell street, 

 has been showing some attractive win- 

 dow decorations during the week. There 

 is no doubt that this firm has used every 

 opportunity to make the new tiled-floor 

 show window one of the most attractive 

 in the city. W. A. H. 



SEATTLE. 



Tbe Market. 



Business is picking up nicely, and 

 were it not for the shortage in the sup- 

 ply of stock, there would be little to 

 complain of. Almost all varieties of 

 stock are exceedingly scarce. Carna- 

 tions are arriving only in small quanti- 

 ties, and for the next month or so there 

 will be a limited cut. Boses, too, are 

 somewhat scarce, but the quality in 

 most cases is exceptionally good. A 

 few local chrysanthemums are coming 

 in and are meeting the competition of 

 the California blooms, which arrive in 

 good condition. A few outdoor flowers 

 are offered. Asters are with us yet and 

 gladioli are still in good condition. 

 Some cyclamen plants are seen in the 

 stores, but ferns and palms seem to be 

 in greatest demand for pot plants at 

 present. 



Various Notes. 



The Arcadian Florists have made a 

 new departure in advertising in this 

 city. They have large posters on the 

 billboards, showing a bunch of roses, 

 as a means of attracting trade. 



Victor Johnson, well known to the 

 trade in this city, has purchased the 

 establishment of the Capitol Hill Floral 

 Co., on Capitol hill. This place has been 

 allowed to run down considerably, but 

 under Mr. Johnson's capable manage- 

 ment, no doubt, it will regain its trade 

 and standing. The location is one of 

 the best in the city, and the proximity 

 of the Lakeview cemetery is a good 

 asset. 



The proprietors of the Boserie have 

 overhauled their premises on Second 

 avenue, making a more roomy and com- 

 modious store. 



Bosaia Bros, are cutting fine roses at 

 their plant at Thomas. The Brides- 

 maids are especially good. 



Mrs. Floyd O 'Grady, better known 

 among the florists as Miss Bessie Burns, 

 is the proud mother of a daughter. 



The city greenhouses in Volunteer 

 park are now pretty well filled with 

 plants. The cyclamens, obconicas, 

 chrysanthemums, etc., are looking fine, 

 and Jacob Umhauff, who has charge of 

 the houses, is certainly making a cred- 

 itable display. Several fine specimens 

 of geraniums are in full bloom.

boosting the dahlia as a popular flower, 

 held a dahlia show in the Chamber of 

 Commerce rooms on the last two days 

 of last week. 



The tarnish bugs have been extra 

 busy this season. Not confining their 

 depredations to asters and chrysanthe- 

 mums, they have practically destroyed 

 the dahlias in several plantations, and 

 even gladioli and roses are the worse 

 for their attentions. 



Carl Malby, at the Madison Park 

 Greenhouses, has a promising looking 

 batch of Lorraine and Cincinnati be- 

 gonias, and his poinsettias are good. 



The Washington Greenhouses are in 

 better shape than they have been lor 

 some time. C. Hoflfmeister has been 

 putting in a lot of hard work here, and 

 the results prove the efficiency of it. 



The H. B. Burdett Co. has received 

 its usual large consignment of Dutch 

 bulbs. The firm 's Meadowdale nurseries 

 are likely to be a money-maker soon. 



J. J. Bonnell has returned from his
