The Florists^ Review 



OcTOBEii 27, 1921 



dcriiuist, hookkcoiior for this shop, has 

 rc'tiiriiod from her vacation. 



E. 0. Peterson, recently attached to 

 the staff of the Hollywood Gardens, is 

 now with the Woodlawn Flower Shop. 



The Hollywood Gardens are receiving 

 some finely colored pompons from the 

 greenhouses at this time, the bronze 

 stock being especially attractive. Ac- 

 tivity on table decorations continues 

 and several out-of-the-ordinary com- 

 binations have been worked up. A nov- 

 elty that is drawing attention at this 

 time is dried pine cones treated in un- 

 usual pastel shades and gold, for use in 

 baskets and other decorative contain- 

 ers. Some Ijaskets in unusual colors are 

 also being shown. 



Harvey Simpson, who was formerly 

 with Rosaia Bros., is now at the Pine- 

 hurst Floral Shop. A. Edwards has also 

 been added to the shop force. 



Felix Ros;iia continues to feature the 

 newer varieties of mums to good effect. 

 These were used entirely on several 

 good-sized home decorations. Mr. 

 Rosaia has returned from a trip through 

 the Yakima valley and to Portland. He 

 found most growers visited anticipating 

 a fine yield this season from their green- 

 houses. 



Musiel's Horticultural Service, at 

 Alderwood Manor, has added four acres 

 to its holdings and will set summer- 

 blooming outdoor plants there. Late 

 delphiniums and snapdragons are being 

 brought in at present, along with some 

 fine gypsophila. 



Kenney's Home of Flowers handled a 

 large luncheon decoration at the Butler 

 hotel last week, using Ophelia roses, 

 yellow dahlias and ferns. 



Rosaia Bros, were in charge of the dec- 

 orations for several large weddings, us- 

 ing flowering maples, yellow mums and 

 Ward roses for the house and church 

 decorations of the largest of the affairs. 

 A lighter cut of orchids is noted, but 

 the supply of roses at the greenhouse is 

 increasing steadily. Ward shows es- 

 pecially good color at present. 



A. B. Matthiespn is still bringing 

 large cuts of carnations to market. Re- 

 cent weather conditions have been more 

 favorable to full color development in 

 the red and pink varieties. 



Mclby's Flower Shop has enjoyed a 

 brisk run of funeral work lately. 



Risden & Desmond have a fine crop of 

 mums coming on, Turner and Bonnaf- 

 fon ]iromising especially good quality 

 this year. ' H. M.

Spanish Iris 



High Quality American Grown 



When the Federal Quarantine No. 37 went into effect in June, 

 1919, these beautiful Spring flowering bulbs, which were practically 

 all supplied from Europe, were shut out. Since that time they 

 have been rarely seen in the florists' shops. Due to the pains- 

 taking effort of an American grower who traveled to Europe to 

 secure good planting stock, we are able to offer them this year. 

 We find the size of the bulbs equal to the best formerly procured 

 abroad.
