The FIoristsVReview 



Jandart 7, 1915. 



all of his range at East Fifty-fourth and 

 Stark streets in carnations and greens, 

 cutting out the general stock which he 

 has been growing. 



Martin & Forbes Co. has used for spe- 

 cial holiday displays Bichmond and Kil- 

 larney roses and Gorgeous carnations. 



Don Wadsworth, now with the Kelso 

 Floral Co., was home for the holidays. 

 He ^epo^ts^ a good fall business. The 

 Kelso Co. has added about 2,000 feet 

 of glass this season. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. made a spe- 

 cialty of potted poinsettias, azaleas and 

 cyclamens in its holiday display. 



W. H. De Graaflf, of De Graaflf Bros., 

 bulb growers of Leyden, Holland, called 

 on the trade last week. S. W. W. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Blarket. 



The stores all did a good business at 

 Christmas. The prices in some lines 

 were not quite so high as in former 

 years, but the average was about the 

 same and a good clean-up was made. 

 Carnations were about as scarce as usu- 

 al at Christmas, and as a consequence 

 they realized high prices, reds selling at 

 $3 per dozen. Since Christmas, trade has 

 been good and there is no overstock of 

 ajiy kind of flowers. Carnations con- 

 tinue scarce and growers now are get- 

 ting fair prices. Chrysanthemums are 

 about cleaned up, but bulbous stock is 

 in, in fairly liberal quantities, and it 

 helps to relieve the situation. Violets 

 are now being sold at many of the 

 street corners; the prices of these were 

 high at Christmas, but as a rule they 

 sell so cheaply as to be hardly worth 

 handling. 



The frost of last week, while hard on 

 the coal supply, should have its compen- 

 sations for the growers of bedding 

 stock. Last year so many geraniums 

 and other plants were carried over out- 

 <loor9 as to interfere seriously with the 

 sale of young plants, but there should 

 be no complaint on this score in the 

 coming season. 



Various Notes. 



The H. B. Burdett Co. is increasing 

 its oflSce space at the establishment on 

 First avenue and Denny way.

DAHIilAS FOR CUTTINa. 



What are the names of good white, 

 pink and red decorative or peony-flow- 

 ered dahlias that will do well here, in 

 central Alabama! I want varieties 

 suitable for cutting. E. C. 



In decorative varieties I would 

 recommend Catherine Duer or Jack 

 Rose, for scarlet; Mme. Van den Daele, 

 shell pink; C. W. Bruton, bright yel- 

 low. In peony-flowered varieties try 

 Bertha von Suttner, salmon-pink; Queen 

 Wilhelmina, pure white; Lady Seville, 

 orange scarlet. All these are splendid 

 sorts for cutting. C. W. 



SPRENGEBI FROM SEED. 



I am about to sow some Asparagus 

 Sprengori seed and I know but little 

 about it. "Will you please tell me 

 whether I can sow it in fiats, then trans- 

 plant to other flats and grow the seed- 

 lings there? Is a shelf over steam pipes 

 the right place in which to start themf
