The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 28, 1918. 



called for this season. The partici- 

 pants were wealthy Chinese and the 

 ceremony was held at the White Temple 

 Baptist church. The church was trans- 

 formed into a bower of autumn leaves, 

 palms and mums. The effect was beau- 

 tiful. The entire program was con- 

 ducted in occidental style. 



Mrs. A. L. Mjrers, of Bluffton, Ind,, 

 is visiting relatives here and at Van- 

 couver, Wash. 



E. T. Mische, superintendent of parks, 

 has secured some lilies from the high 

 altitudes, locally known as Mount Hood 

 lilies, and will transplant them to the 

 gardens at Peninsula park. If this ex- 

 periment proves a success, they will 

 be extensively grown another season. 



Albert Zimmerman, of Tigard, was 

 shot recently while hunting. He. was 

 mistaken for a deer and received the 

 entire charge of shot. He was taken 

 to the hospital. 



A. C. Zitzewitz, grower for the Mar- 

 tin & Forbes Co., leaves this week to 

 take charge of the range of Eosaia 

 Bros., at Seattle. 



The Nippon Floral Co. is acting as 

 local agent for some Japanese growers 

 in California, handling mums at whole- 

 sale. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held October 13. Consider- 

 able business was before the house for 

 discussion. Plans for the flower show, 

 to be held next month, are being for- 

 mulated. Many new features will be 

 introduced. 



William Richardson, of Seattle, is 

 spending a few days here in the inter- 

 est of his wholesale market. E. E. C. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business would be better if more 

 stock could be had. As it is, the flo- 

 rists are pretty hard pressed to make 

 any showing. Carnations have not 

 been so scarce for two years, and the 

 supply is not increasing at any con- 

 siderable pace. Many of the flowers 

 coming into town are being shipped 

 out by the wholesalers. Roses are a 

 little more plentiful, but they are not 

 coming in as we should like to see 

 them. California violets are in the 

 stores and on the streets, but they are 

 of extremely poor quality. A few 

 home-grown violets are coming in and 

 being quickly snapped up. Some good 

 orchids are on sale. Chrysanthemums, 

 both local and California stock, are 

 selling well. In pot plants ferns and 

 palms are all that are being sold. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its annual 

 meeting for the election of officers for 

 the ensuing year October 14. There 

 was a large attendance, a more than 

 usually good attendance of the retail 

 trade and a hearty meeting. The fol 

 lowing officers were elected: Presi 

 dent, Thomas Wylie; vice-president 

 John Holze; secretary and treasurer 

 Fred Gust; executive committee: J. J 

 Bonnell, Ira Wilson, Tom Rhoades and 

 Carl Melby. A discussion of the vio- 

 let peddlers resulted in the appointment 

 of a committee to try to get them off 

 the streets. The question of purchas- 

 ing Duch bulbs was also discussed and 

 the members were unanimous in decid- 

 ing to purchase their next season's 

 bulbs direct from the Holland growers 

 and to give no orders to traveling sales- 

 men. J. J. Bonnell gave an interesting

Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say! That ad's a humdinger for getting the 

 business.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and yoc 

 will not hear from me again until 1 can gut some 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100.000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next season, as I know The Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wllhelm, Los An- 

 geles, Cal. 



Flease cut out of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all our 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash.
