The Florists' Review 



69 



there is strong demand. Hoses are good 

 and there are more of them in evidence 

 than for some time. Good orchids are 

 seen in most of the stores. Valley is 

 scarce, but greens are now fairly abun- 

 dant. Some large funeral orders this 

 week have kept the stores busy. '' 



Various Notes. 



Gus Bjorkman, of Hollywood Gar- 

 dens, has been in the hospital with a 

 severe attack of tonsilitis. He was 

 able to get out October 20, but still is 

 feeling the effects of the illness. 



Mr. Van Slyke, of Van Slyke & Sea- 

 mons; of Tacoma, has been visiting 

 Seattle growers, giving an account of 

 his recent travels in this state and 

 British Columbia. 



George Antenen, of the Seattle Floral 

 Co., has been prostrated with a severe 

 turn of pleurisy. He is out again and 

 seems well on the way to recovery. 



A. E. Buxton, who hsis been running 

 the plant of the Thomas Floral Co. for 

 the last nine months, has severed his 

 connection with that concern. He has 

 been visiting his old neighbors at 

 Brighton and looks as if the climate 

 of the White Eiver valley had suited 

 him. 



J. Balmer has taken up his residence 

 in Seattle again. For the last four 

 years he has had charge of the parks 

 in Vancouver, B. C. 



John Bellon, the wire man, says busi- 

 ness is none too good. Folks would 

 need to be buried frequently to suit 

 John. 



The H. B. Burdett Co. is finding it 

 pays to advertise. A full page in the 

 Times last week produced results that 

 have been astonishing. 



Balph Bichardson certainly has a fine 

 lot of carnations. He makes a spe- 

 cialty of this flower and, while han- 

 dling a few others in a minor way, 

 this young man can show lots of his 

 elders how to produce the goods.

The Market. 



Trade for the last few weeks has 

 been all that one could desire and 

 things look good for a brisk fall and 

 winter business. Stock is scarce, with 

 hardly a carnation in sight. Mums are 

 becoming more plentiful, but the qual- 

 ity has been none too good, although 

 it shows much improvement with the 

 coming on of the midseasdn varieties. 



There has been an unusual call for 

 pot plants and anything with a bloom 

 sells on sight. There would seem to 

 be a good opening for a grower of 

 this kind of stock, as there is no 

 place growing pot plants to any great 

 extent. 



Various Notes. 



The social night of the Florists' 

 Club was poorly attended, due, perhaps, 

 to many of the members being un- 

 aware of the twice-a-month meetings. 

 During the fall and winter the club 

 will meet on the first and third Thurs- 

 day of the month, the first Thursday 

 being the regular business meeting, 

 while the third Thursday will be de- 

 voted to social affairs. 



On a recent visit to H. W. Manike's 

 place I found things in fine condition. 

 The greater part of the bench space 

 at this place is devoted to carnations, 

 but violets, roses, mums, etc., are grown 

 to some extent. Mr. Manike has been
