The Florists' Review 



87 



The severe storms of the last w«ek al- 

 most spoiled the sweet peas. Peonies 

 are coming in nicely in the dark colors, 

 but the light shades have almost fin- 

 ished. Irises, stocks, gaillardias and 

 coreopsis are plentiful. Boses are the 

 best selling commodity; the choice va- 

 rieties are the first to move. Carna- 

 tions are scarce. The supply for 

 Mothers' day was short of demand, 

 with a sharp rise in the prices. 



Various Notes. 



H. Bayersdorfer, of Philadelphia, 

 paid his respects to the trade this 

 week. Japan will be included in his 

 trip. 



Clarke Bros, are displaying a nice 

 lot of hydrangeas. 



The H. M. Sanborn Co, was the only 

 firm of florists here that advertised 

 Mothers' day in the daily papers. The 

 firm also had an appropriate window 

 display. The returns were highly sat- 

 isfactory, 



E. James has a fine lot of Spirsea 

 Alexandra, hydrangeas and Tausend- 

 schon roses. He is one of the most 

 successful growers in this vicinity, 



Daniel MacEorie was over last week, 

 rounding up members for the S. A. F. 

 He has lots of surprises in storp for 

 the convention in August. A rojal 

 time is assured to all. 



Miller & Meherin report business 

 quite satisfactory. They specialize in 

 seeds and bedding stock. E. R. C.

The Market. 



The weather has continued cooler, 

 with showers. Newly set plants on the 

 lawns and in the nurseries have been 

 greatly benefited by the rain. It is 

 hoped that the blooming of outdoor 

 roses, peonies, rhododendrons, del- 

 phiniums and many varieties of peren- 

 nials will be retarded so that there 

 will be a plentiful supply for Memorial 

 day. 



Mothers' day had but little eflfect on 

 market conditions except to clean up 

 all of the white carnations. Outdoor 

 flowers were used extensively to honor 

 the day. Some of the churches used 

 designs in color, and bright flowers 

 were worn by many. 



Social events hav« not been numer- 

 ous and have used small quantities of 

 flowers. The demand for designs is 

 good. The supply of all sorts of cut 

 stock is fully equal to the requirements 

 of the market. Orchids are in over- 

 supply. Hydrangeas and pelargoniuma 

 are the only varieties of potted bloom- 

 ing plants offered. 



Various Notes. 



Zimmerman Bros, are bringing in 

 some good violas. 



Frank Chervenka has retired from 

 the Holden Floral Co, and has taken 

 a -position with the Thomas Floral Co., 

 of Seattle. 



S, Lubliner reports a brisk sale of 

 carnations for Mothers' day. 



Sonie of the best snapdragons come 

 from the range of Aug, Zittervitz, 



Niklas & Son are showing the first 

 gaillardias, 



Clarke Bros, have some flne orchid 

 plants in full bloom as a part of their 

 window decoration: they are Cattleya 

 Mossise. " »
