The Florists^ Review 



NOVEHBBB 19, 1014. 



arrived. They are about six weeks late, 

 due to delay on the ocean voyage. They 

 are reported to be in good condition. 



P. Johnson, who has been with the 

 city park department for several years, 

 has been transferred by Superintendent 

 Conville to the greenhouse range at 

 Columbia park. He has a large batch 

 of alternantheras, which, he says, re- 

 quire careful treatment. 



The 1915 show of the National Dahlia 

 Society of America will be held in 

 Portland. E. W. Gill was elected secre- 

 tary of the society and manager of the 

 show. E. H. White was elected treas- 

 urer. Both are Portland men. The 

 society met at Seattle. S. W. W.

The Market. 



With all the flower stores making a 

 fine display of flowers and plants, and 

 most of the outside flowers finished for 

 the season, there should be better busi- 

 ness. Some days it is fair, but the 

 average sales are hardly so good as 

 we would desire. There has been a 

 glut of carnations and they are still 

 too plentiful, but indications point to 

 their resuming their normal prices be- 

 fore Thanksgiving, and probably after 

 that the supply will not be in excess 

 of the demand. Shawyer and Chate- 

 nay roses are arriving in fine shape 

 and there are few left over. Chrysan- 

 themums are mostly home-grown and 

 are selling well, as in their keeping 

 qualities they are much superior to 

 California stock. There is a good sup- 

 ply of orchids and they are used for 

 many purposes. Cyclamens are good 

 and are selling well. Lorraine and Cin- 

 cinnati begonias are moving fast. 



Club Meeting. 



The usual monthly club meeting was 

 held in the Chamber of Commerce as- 

 sembly room, November 10, with a fair 

 attendance. An influential deputation 

 from the Tacoma Florists' Club was 

 present and subjects of considerable 

 importance to the trade were discussed. 

 A committee consisting of J. J. Bon- 

 nell, George Antenin and L. C. Beal 

 was appointed to see that the interests 

 of the trade are looked after by the 

 coming state legislature, and to confer 

 with members of the trade regarding 

 the reduction in the number of bulbs 

 forced for spring trade. An interesting 

 discussion took place, after which the 

 Tacoma delegation was entertained by 

 the local club. 



Various Notes. 



'The store of Mrs. L. W. McCoy, on 

 Third avenue, was visited last week 

 by burglars for the second time re- 

 cently. The first visit did not result 

 in aiiy gain to the prowlers, but this 

 time they secured three checks, which 

 they subsequently cashed. However, 

 as Mrs. McCoy had stopped payment 

 of them at her bank, she was not the 

 loser. Fortunately, they were not able 

 to open the safe and consoled them- 

 selves by ringing up some amounts on 

 the cash register. 



Chris. Jochimsen, of the Rainier 

 Floral Co., has been operated on for 

 appendicitis and is still in the Seattle 

 General hospital, recovering fairly 

 well. The operation, though success- 

 ful, was the cause of a great deal of 

 subsequent suffering and he is showing 

 the effects of it. AH in the trade —
