The Weekly Florists' Review*

autumn and spring planting time, but 

 with us we rely entirely on our rainfall 

 and if that comes too late or is too scanty 

 to give the proper impetus to trade we 

 liave nothing left to do but hope for bet- 

 ter luck nex,t time. Fall trade is not 

 reckoned on here to any large extent, 

 although year before last we had a heavy 

 rainfall in September, so that our season 

 commenced about two months earlier than 

 usual and continued through the year un- 

 til the following March. At the present 

 time we have not had as much rain as 

 we had during that memorable month and 

 as a consequence the present season will 

 be very short in any event and will in 

 all probability be added to the list of 

 what is usually called ' ' dry years. ' ' O. 



SPOKANE, VASH. 



With the characteristic quiet of after 

 holiday trade we can give an outline of 

 the rush of the past few weeks. "Win- 

 dows took on a gala appearance in deco- 

 rations of red and green, with immor- 

 telles, Oregon grape, mountain moss, mis- 

 tletoe and holly, the latter being shipped 

 from the east, arriving in such good con- 

 dition that the berries were still where 

 they should be, instead of where they 

 usually are after shipping, at the bot- 

 tom of the crate. Supply was not nearly 

 sufficient to cover demand in nearly all 

 lines, and only the slight assistance ren- 

 dered by near-by towns saved the situa- 

 tion from being a deplorable one. Vio- 

 lets and Beauties were received from the 

 Chicago market and in such a perfect 

 condition that the writer is of the opin- 

 ion that it is only a question of time 

 until the United States will be shipping 

 to the Philippines. 



Just previous to the holidays Hoyt 

 Bros, and Miss Armstrong, after doing 

 business for eleven years, severed part- 

 nership, the former opening a store on 

 Riverside avenue with Mr. Yonkin in 

 charge. 



Miss Wright, who has been doing busi- 

 ness as the Lidgerwood Greenhouses, has 

 formed a partnership with Miss Arm- 

 strong, the firm to be known hereafter 

 as Armstrong & Wright, and located at 

 Miss Armstrong's old stand at 807 River- 

 side avenue. We predict great success 

 for this firm, as both ladies are well 

 known, being the pioneer florists of Spo- 

 kane. Miss Luflfman, who came from the 

 east recently to be with Miss Wright, 

 will be in charge. 



The Spokane Florist Co. reports a 

 large business, as is evidenced by Mr. 

 Kipp's broad smile. 



Visitors this week were : J. J. Karins, 

 representing H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia, 

 and W. Tackman, from The Dalles, Ore.

The Market 



The continued dry weather has a very 

 marked effect on business in the floral 

 line and everyone is hoping that the next 

 few days will bring us a copious down- 

 pour. Flowers are more plentiful than 

 they were last week but the prices re- 

 main stationary. Carnations give indica- 

 tions of heavy crops in a short time and 

 I expect that prices will descend some- 

 what in the next ten days. A few out- 

 side mums are still to be seen and they 

 are eagerly bought up by the retailers, 

 as there is a great scarcity of a cheap 

 white flower that can be used in funeral 

 designs. Our narcissi are very scarce

 ued drought, and it will be several weeks 

 before they will be in their prime. Vio- 

 lets are more plentiful and the price has 

 been lowered during the past week. Green

 it will probably remain so until we have 

 a touch of warmer weather.
