The Florists' Review 



7S 



the Woodmere Floral Co. does not 

 cater to the retail trade, it does not 

 consider it a wasted effort to have 

 the beds of stock plants arranged in a 

 pleasing manner. One house is filled 

 with palms and other foliage plants. 

 Several benches of carnations have 

 been set, and some bedding stock and 

 perennials are grown, but the specialty 

 is ferns. Boosevelt, Whitmani, Scottii, 

 Amerpohlii, Teddy, Jr., and a variety 

 of table ferns are grown extensively 

 and find ready sale. Some experi- 

 mental work has been done, and sev- 

 eral new varieties of ferns are in 

 process of development. 



Max Smith recently showed a large 

 basket of salpiglossis in a variety of 

 colors. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. had some 

 blooms of the scarlet dahlia, Minnie 

 Burgle, on display. This is an attrac- 

 tive flower and is said to be a good 

 keeper. 



Mr. Koch, of the Peoples Floral 

 Shop, said there was still some de- 

 mand for bedding stock. S. W. W. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



There has been no unusual demand 

 for flowers during the last week, but 

 trade seems to be holding up remark- 

 ably well for these months. All the 

 large downtown stores report an un- 

 usually big business for the month of 

 July. 



Carnations and roses are about equal 

 to the demand. Outdoor stock is in its 

 prime, and is moved at a small but 

 profitable price. The demand for ferns 

 and potted stock is just commencing. 



Club Meeting. 



The Seattle Florists' Club met Tues- 

 day, August 3. A report from the en- 

 tertainment committee of the S. A. F. 

 stated that members were not coming 

 as a body by way of Seattle, making 

 it impossible for us to entertain them, 

 as first planned. Mr. Sullivan, of the 

 Hollywood Gardens, extended an invi- 

 tation to all florists and their friends 

 to take a trip to the Hollywood farm 

 on a date to be set later, which was 

 accepted unanimously by the club. 



Felix Bosaia suggested that we 

 should have an information bureau -for 

 obtaining and disposing of surplus 

 flowers. This would be a convenient 

 thing for the stores as well as the 

 growers, and a committee was ap- 

 pointed to look into the matter. 



Various Notes. 



The Orpheum Floral Co., Felix Eo- 

 saia manager, at Third and Madison, 

 had a grand opening July 31. A splen- 

 did decoration of gladioli and various 

 flowers and palms made the store a 

 most attractive place. 



The Burns Floral Co. reports favor- 

 able business, due principally to the 

 many funerals. 



J. Jacobsen, of the Latona Floral 

 Co., has recently taken H. Lindberg as 

 a partner into the business. They are 

 devoting their greenhouses to carna- 

 tions, poinsettias, chrysanthemums and 

 various pot plants. 



A. E. Buxton, of Brighton Beach, 

 had a birthday Sunday, August 1, 

 which was celebrated by some of his 

 florist friends. 



Miss Riley, bookkeeper for the Holly- 

 wood Gardens, has returned from a 

 week's vacation. Ed. Peterson, of the
