The Florists' Review 



June li; :HH4. 



conditions generally have been slow and 

 times hard, yet on the big flower days 

 the demand for flowers has been, in 

 nearly every instance, fully as great as 

 in previous years during good times, 

 and in some cases even greater. Some 

 lines of stock were short, such as car- 

 nations and peonies, both of which sold 

 readily at $2 and $2.50 per dozen, al- 

 though the quality was nothing extra. 

 There were plenty of roses for all de- 

 mands and the quality was good. An 

 abundance of Easter lilies left over 

 from Memorial day may still be seen in 

 several of the stores, but funeral work 

 is moving them well, so that they will 

 not be a loss. 



Various Notes. 



Several of the florists' windows were 

 especially well decorated in keeping 

 with Memorial day, while a few were 

 even below their own average. 



The Spokane Florist Co. has sublet 

 one side of the store, including a small 

 window space, to a jewelry firm. The 

 space in this store is much larger than 

 is needed except at holiday times, and 

 with the high rents that prevail in the 

 locality, such an arrangement will effect 

 a considerable saving. 



The growers are all apparently well 

 pleased with the season 's business. 01s- 

 son & Benson planted one house of car- 

 nations last week. They plan to string 

 out their benching all through the sum- 

 mer, the last house to be filled in Au- 

 gust. The Spokane Greenhouses, Inc., 

 also began planting last week. 



A visit to the greenhouses of P. 

 Garginlo revealed a prosperous appear- 

 ing little establishment. Yellow roses 

 seem to be his specialty, although other 

 varieties are grown. A newly com- 

 pleted range of four narrow houses was 

 planted to roses last week. L. B. H. 



WAED STARTS PACIFIC NUESERY. 



A nursery and propagating plant for 

 ornamental and fruit trees and shrub- 

 bery, in connection with one of the 

 most important nursery plants in the 

 east, is to be established at once at 

 Carlotta, Cal. 



Charles Willis Ward, founder and 

 principal owner of the Cottage Gardens, 

 Queens, L, I., is the moving spirit in 

 the enterprise, in wlAch he will have 

 several local associates. Mr. Ward of 

 late has made his headquarters at Eu- 

 reka, Cal., where his father's estate has 

 large laud and timber interests. Car- 

 lotta is twenty-eight miles southeast of 

 Eureka. 



The company now in process of or- 

 ganization will have $75,000 capital. 

 Mr, Ward purchased, some three or four 

 weeks ago, a tract of 220 acres of land 

 at Carlotta, known as the Ready ranch; 

 100 acres of this already is cleared and 

 ready for preliminary operations; about 

 eighty acres is covered with heavy red- 

 wood stumpage, and the balance is 

 creek bottom. About 180 acres is 

 adapted to nursery purposes. 



"After a thorough examination with 

 the aid of experts, we concluded the 

 tract we have purchased at Carlotta 

 was the ideal location for nursery pur- 

 poses," said Mr. Ward. "It is located 

 centrally as regards the fruit growing 

 sections of the county. When the rail- 

 road is completed it will give us ex- 

 cellent transportation facilities, but the 

 most important factors of soil and pro- 

 tected location are nearly ideal. I do 

 not believe there is anything better 

 anTwhere. ' *
