The Florists' Review 



OCXOBUK 1, 1914. 



NEW SWEET PEA 



MONROVIA 



For several ye&rs this has been the best seller 

 on the Los Angeles and otber local markets, 

 and I have decided to offer it to the trade as 

 Ions as the stock lasts at 



f 8.00 p«r ounc*. 



Monrovia becins to flower when only about one 

 foot high and continues to bloom profusely until 

 it reaches H feet high outdoors. It will make a 

 splendid greenhouse variety, as the buds do not 

 drop under any conditions The color is a deep 

 purple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- 

 Questionably the finest wlnter-bloominir purple 

 in existence. The seed has been carefully re- 

 selected from large pods only. It was gathered 

 in April and May in the foothill section, and 

 is consequently mature and of bigh germinating 

 power. It is an exceptionally stout grower and 

 throws long stemmed flowers all through the 

 season, four to six flowers to the stem. This 

 offer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock 

 la exhausted.

Field Roses 



It is Quite within the line of possibilities 

 that Nurserymen and Florists who depend 

 upon a stock of ROSES FROM EUROPE 

 will be without roses this season if that is 

 their only source of supply. It may be that 

 American-grown stock at fair prices will 

 look awfully good to many of you. How 

 would it be to engage a fair stock now, be- 

 fore the unusually heavy demand clean 

 up the market on choice sorts?

payment for his flowers at a settled 

 price. If this system could be estab- 

 lished in the sale of all flowers on the 

 market, it would not be long before 

 uniform retail prices would be estab- 

 lished. 



Of roses the best are Killarney Queen 

 and Killarney. Aaron Ward is not 

 so good as it might be. There are 

 no Beauties to speak of. The first ship- 

 ment of Lady Hillingdon was brought 

 in by our largest rose grower, and this, 

 being new this season, sold pretty well. 

 Orchids of all kinds and varieties are 

 at a premium. Cattleyas are practically 

 unobtainable, and the demand for them 

 is great. The retailers await with 

 anxiety the arrival of labiata, our next 

 variety. 



There is still plenty of valley avail- 

 able, and it sells well. Violets are be- 

 coming more plentiful, but still lack 

 quality. Carnations are plentiful and 

 fairly long-stemmed; the reds are par- 

 ticularly good. Lilium rubrum is on 

 the wane, and next week will probably 

 be gone. 



Various Notes. 



The good work in connection with the 

 jeception and entertainment of the S. 

 A. F. next year continues. A ways and 

 means committee of thirty leading flo- 

 rists and nurserymen met Friday night,

The Market. 



While there is a noticeable and most 

 gratifying increase in trade generally 

 among the retailers, business will not be 

 really paying until after a good, hard 

 freeze, which may not be for another 

 month. To date there have been several 

 light frosts, but nothing heavy enough 

 to kill the outside flowers. The cooler 

 weather, with fall rains, has had a de- 

 cidedly beneficial effect on sweet peas, 

 dahlias and asters. Boses are of good 

 fall quality, the only drawback being 

 that the demand is not at all times 

 equal to the supply. Carnations are be- 

 ing eagerly sought, the comparatively 

 few that are coming in being quickly 

 snatched up. Many of the growers have 

 chrysanthemums of good quality on the 

 market, but the best ones are still those 

 coming from California. 



Various Notes. 



Olsson & Bernson's display of dahlias 

 at the interstate fair was one of the 

 features. It paid them well, as they 

 booked many orders for roots for spring 

 delivery. 



The new flower shop conducted by 

 the Spokane Florist Co., in the Daven- 

 port hotel, opened its doors last week. 

 It is in the personal charge of Eugene 

 Szuchiewicz, a member of the firm, who 

 reports a most gratifying business dur- 

 ing the opening week. 



Samuel Younkin and family, with L. 

 B. Hill, visited the farm of J. E. Monroe 

 for the purpose of inspecting the splen- 

 did sweet peas and dahlias grown there. 

 Mr. Monroe makes a specialty of the 

 best in everything, quite the best thing 

 on the farm being the world 's champion 

 Holstein cow. The cow being as tem- 

 peramental as a prima donna, admission 

 to her quarters was denied. However, 

 the sight of the sweet peas and dahlias 

 Well repays time spent for the trip, for 

 the best of the named varieties are here 

 grown to perfection. Mr. Monroe has a
