The Rotists' Review 



JOLX ». 1»14. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



Tbe Market. 



There is little variation in weather 

 or business conditions, aa compared 

 with last week. The weather is hot, for 

 this city, reaching the high point of 91 

 degrees. There is considerable call for 

 wedding work in small and medium or- 

 ders. Funeral work is holding up well. 

 Carnations are showing the effects of 

 the hot weather by a decided decline in 

 quality. Boses, also, are smaller and 

 poorer. The Killarneys and Richmond 

 are generally unsatisfactory unless sold 

 at once, as the stock opens quickly, 

 even if placed in the cooler. Brides, 

 Maids, Kaiserins and Cochets give bet- 

 ter satisfaction. 



Various Notes. 



The Spokane Florist Co. has been 

 showing" good Japanese iris and core- 

 opsis in the window of their newly ar- 

 ranged store. The remodeling is about 

 completed and the painters are begin* 

 ning the work of interior decoration. 

 When completed, this will be oire of the 

 handsomest and best appointed stores 

 in the city. 



Max Lehman, of the Hoyt Bros Co., 

 has been showing ladies' hats trimmed 

 with real flowers in his windows. The 

 effects have been pleasing and have 

 occasioned much favorable comment. 



Mr. Austin, of the Spokane Green- 

 houses, Inc., reports the summer plant- 

 ing to be progressing finely at the 

 houses in Marshall. They are carrying 

 over their roses a second year, replac- 

 ing part of the soil with new compost. 



Some of the local florists have caught 

 the Calgary oil fever and, judging from 

 reports received, are well pleased with 

 their investments. Well, something has 

 to be done to pay expenses during the 

 summer, and one might as well bet on 

 oil tM on baseball. L. B. H.

The Market. 



The market presents the usual July 

 aspects. There is a limited quantity of 

 what we would call choice stock. While 

 the demand is normal, there always is 

 a chance to move choice stock. Carna- 

 tions are holding out well, especially 

 Gorgeous, which has proved the most 

 wonderful flower for keeping qualities 

 as well as a good producer. Other va- 

 rieties are showing the ravages of the 

 season. Roses are still plentiful, but 

 of a depreciated quality. Cecile Brun- 

 uer is plentiful and sells well, but the 

 sun bleaches the outside stock almost 

 beyond usefulness. Sweet peas are 

 showing a slight improvement in qual- 

 ity, but the market is flooded with 

 stock of varied quality. Auratum lilies 

 are to be had in limited quantity. Eas- 

 ter lilies are plentiful and move well 

 as funeral flowers. 



Varioos Notes. 



Louis Goodf riend, representing 

 Wertheimer Bros., New York, is call- 

 ing on the trade this week. 



Congratulations are in order for 

 James Forbes, the occasion being the 

 arrival of a 10-pound boy. The broad 

 Scotch smile depicts his sentiments in 

 the matter. Wallace Garside also is 

 to be congratulated, this case being a 

 bouncing girl.

 Bros., bulb growers, called on the trade
