The Florists' Review 



AUGCST 19, 1915. 



ing several cases of cold-storage lilies 

 in anticipation of a good demand later. 



Mr. Sullivan, of the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens, was exceedingly busy last week 

 with funeral orders. 



C. Hoffmeister, of the Washington 

 Floral Co., is planting two houses with 

 poinsettias. He has a splendid lot of 

 cyclamens. 



Joseph Stuber, formerly of the East 

 Seattle Floral Co. and later of the 

 Seattle Paper Stock Co., has come back 

 to the florists' trade and is now grower 

 for Ealph Richardson. 



Lambert Pederson has purchased the 

 establishment of the West Queen Anne 

 Florist. 



Chris Jochimsen, proprietor of the 

 Rainier Floral Co., met with an accident 

 recently when riding in his automobile. 

 The car was badly smashed, but Mr. 

 Jochimsen escaped injury. 



Among trade visitors last week were 

 A. J. Burt, of Spokane; William E. 

 Endres, of C. A. Samuelson, Chicago, 

 and A. Brown, of Vancouver, B. C. 



The Burdette Co. has opened a tea 

 garden, which is attracting a large at- 

 tendance daily. C. E. M.

The Market. 



Last week there were few social 

 events in flower buying circles, and 

 there was only a fair demand for fu- 

 neral work. The stores are filled with 

 prime stock, much of which will be 

 wasted unless conditions change. Asters 

 are the leading flowers, followed by 

 gladioli, roses, rubrum and auratum 

 lilies, sweet peas and garden flowers, in 

 the order named. Market conditions 

 are not below the normal for the sec- 

 ond week of August. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Wilson is spending his vaca- 

 tion with his family at the seashore. 



The family of James Forbes, and 

 Mrs. L. W. Scott, are spending the 

 summer at the beach. 



Clarke Bros, had on^isplay last week 

 the first Golden Glow chrysanthemums. 



A. Hanson built a range of green- 

 houses at Twenty-sixth and F streets, 

 Vancouver, Wash., about five years ago, 

 and with the assistance of Mrs. Hanson, 

 he has done a successful business as 

 a grower and florist. At the rear he 

 dug a mushroom pit and walled it with 

 concrete, but finding mushrooms an un- 

 certain crop, he put a glass roof over 

 the pit and grew Asparagus plumosus 

 instead. Being located in a fast grow- 

 ing city, which has passed the .10,000 

 mark, Mr. Hanson is likely to need 

 more glass before long. 



R. E. Jones, representing the Advance 

 Co., of Richmond, Ind., visited the 

 greenhouses last week. He is working 

 toward the south and expects to at- 

 tend the S. A.-F. convention. 



A. H. Dailey, a florist at Knoxville, 

 Tenn., accompanied by his family, 

 stopped over on his way home from 

 the exposition. 



Of the store force of Martin & 

 Forbes, Edward Boyse, and A. P. 

 Normart and family, have visited the 

 fair. Ernest Dozier went to Bremer- 

 ton, Wash., where he has friends. The 

 family of William Fehrenbacher is at 

 the coast, but he is remaining at home. 



Hector Adams, of the Albany Floral 

 Co., Albany, Ore., called on some of 

 ♦,he local florists last week.

The inconsistency of some customers 

 is illustrated by »n incident related 

 by A. Hanson, of Vancouver. Last 

 fall a woman called at his greenhouses 

 and inquired for mums. He offered her 

 some large ones at .$2.50 per dozen, 

 and told her he would deliver them at 

 her house, which was close by. The 

 chrysanthemums were just what she 

 wanted, but she thought the price too 

 high. As Mr. Hanson would not re- 

 duce the price, the woman did not buy 

 the mums. The next day Mr. Hanson 

 cut his surplus mums and sold them to 

 a Portland flower store at $2.50 per 

 dozen, wholesale. When calling at the 

 store later in the day, the proprietor 

 told him that a bunch of his mums had 

 gone back to Vancouver, having been 

 bought by a woman from that place. 

 A little inquiry revealed the fact that 

 the purchaser was the same ^oman
