The Florists' Review 



Pbbbuaby "18, 1915. 



brought up before the present state 

 legislature, has given the bill full and 

 mature consideration and' naade several 

 amendments to the bill. A committee 

 from the Tacoma Florists' Club met 

 with them and their approval was se- 

 cured to the proposed amendments. 

 The committee appointed one of their 

 number, J. J. Bonnell, to confer with 

 the legislative committee, and he, ac- 

 companied by two members of the Ta- 

 coma committee, George Seaverns and 

 H. Benthien, journeyed to Olympia for 

 that purpose Tuesday, February 9, and 

 met the committee there. 



Gus Peterson, of the Eosaia Bros, 

 store, is mourning the loss of his father, 

 who passed away last week. 



John Holze, of the Queen City Floral 

 Co., went to Olympia, Tuesday, Febru- 

 ary 9, with the delegations from the 

 Seattle and Tacoma Florists' Clubs, 

 and on his return called at Tacoma and 

 Kent. 



J. Sahli, of Kent, was calling on his 

 old friends in the Brighton district, 

 Wednesday, February 10. 



As an example of the want of knowl- 

 edge of some of the men who receive 

 appointments as fruit and horticultural 

 inspectors, the following instance is 

 worthy of record: One of our local 

 nurserymen sent a shipment of Lu- 

 pinus polyphyllus to a neighboring 

 state and the inspector there con- 

 demned them on account of "some- 

 thing on the roots." Now, every per- 

 son who knows anything of leguminous 

 plants ought to know that the nodules 

 on the roots are anything but harmful, 

 and as on lupines they are unusually 

 prominently developed, possibly that 

 inspector thought he had found a ter- 

 rible disease. Would it not be a bene- 

 fit if some of our appointive officers 

 were selected for their practical knowl- 

 edge rather than for their political 

 value? 



The father of Mario Bianchi, an 

 employee at the Paris Florist store, 

 who was employed as watchman at a 

 coal mine at Bayne, was robbed and 

 murdered Friday night, February 5. 

 No clew has yet been found to his as- 

 sailant. T. W. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



A few bright, warm days, suggesting 

 April weather, have made trade brisk 

 with the seedsmen and nurserymen and 

 have caused considerable inquiry for 

 bedding stock. St. Valentine's day, and 

 Chinese New Year's, February 13, 

 added materially to the volume of busi- 

 ness. The Chinese are becoming good 

 customers, and show a preference for 

 potted stock in bright colors. Azaleas 

 are quite popular with them, and they 

 want large full-blooming plants. 



Beds and yellows in both potted 

 plants and cut flowers were the best 

 selling colors for St. Valentine's day. 



Carnations and local-grown roses are 

 scarce. Supplies of roses are brought 

 from California. Bulbous stock, both 

 cut and potted, is "more abundant, but 

 hardly equal to the demand. Orchids 

 are in full sup^y and are of excellent 

 quality. Ndrriial prices prevail, both to 

 the grower and to the retailer.
