The Florists' Review 



71 



Congratulations are in order for H. V. 

 Barnford, who was married in Seattle 

 June 18, to Miss Mable 01m, of New 

 York. The wedding was a quiet affair, 

 owing to the illness of Mr. Barnford 's 

 father, who was recently operated on. 



M. Bosaia, of Seattle, spent a few 

 days here last week, visiting various es- 

 tablishments and securing stock. 



A. P. Normart, driver for the Martin 

 & Forbes Co., severely fractured his 

 wrist while cranking the automobile.

The Market. 



Hot weather has struck this market 

 in full force and is a welcome relief 

 from the unusually cold weather which 

 prevailed almost without a break all 

 spring. The weather was so cold, in 

 fact, that the early outdoor roses were 

 practically a failure. Geraniums, can- 

 nas and almost all bedding plants have 

 gone back or, at the best, have stood 

 still. The park men are complaining of 

 the amount of replanting which this 

 condition has necessitated. 



Outdoor sweet peas, snapdragons and 

 stocks are to be had in good quality 

 and at decidedly reasonable prices. 

 Koses and carnations are in full crop, 

 with little demand. Several batches of 

 Easter lilies from cold storage bulbs are* 

 in the market, but meet with no de- 

 mand. While there have been a good 

 number, probably the usual number, of 

 weddings this June, this season is re- 

 markable in that there have been no 

 really large weddings, from a florist's 

 point of view. 



Various Notes. 



Graduation exercises at the various 

 schools brought out lively bidding 

 among the florists for decorating and 

 the graduates' corsages. The Spokane 

 Florist Co. received the order for deco- 

 rations for the North Central High 

 School, while A. J. Burt supplied the 

 corsages. Mr. Burt also supplied the 

 palms and decorations for the Lewis 

 and Clark High School exercises, at 

 the State armory, and Henry E. Beimers 

 supplied the corsages. 



The Spencer sweet peas of Hoyt Bros. 

 Co. are probably the best attainable in 

 these flowers. Countess Spencer is espe- 

 cially good. 



Olsson & Bernson are planning to get 

 all the enjoyment possible during the 

 hot days. They have rented a cottage 

 for the summer at Newman Lake and 

 are passing around invitations to come 

 and spend a week or two with them. 

 Mr. Olsson is moving into the cottage 

 this week. L. B. H. 



YOUNG DEACffiNA PLANTS. 



I have a quantity of Dracaena indivisa 

 in 21,^-inch pots and should like to know 

 what is the best treatment I can give 

 them and how they should be handled 

 next winter. E. H. K. 



The best method for growing on young 

 plants of Dracaena indivisa during the 

 summer is to plant them out in the open 

 ground in rows, spacing the plants ten 

 or twelve inches apart in the rows and 

 keeping the ground well cultivated 

 throughout the season. If the weather 

 should prove to be extremely dry, the 

 dracffinas would be benefited by water- 

 ing, but unless this is really necessary 

 it is preferable to depend more on cul- 

 tivation tp provide the moisture. The

plants may remain outdoors until there 

 is danger of frost, and if planted at 

 once they would have almost three 

 months in which to make their growth. 

 Lift carefully in the autumn, and pot 

 into as small pots as the roots will al- 

 low. Water thoroughly and protect 

 from the sun for a few days, after 

 which they may be placed in the full 

 light in a greenhouse with a night tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees, in which they 

 will keep in good condition for the win- 

 ter, provided they are not overwatered 

 before the roots get into action.

Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Flo- 

 rists' Co. has had its premises equipped 

 by the Armstrong Machinery Co., re- 

 frigerating engineers, with a complete 

 cold storage plant for taking care of the 

 display cases. These are piped for a 

 temperature of 48 degrees, controlled by 

 an ammonia compression plant operating 

 on the direct expansion principle. The 

 system does away with the nuisance and 

 expense and irregularity which ia inci- 

 dental to the ice cooling method.
