other outside flowers, America gladioli 

 are making the best showing in the 

 windows. They wholesale at from $2.50 

 to $3.50 per hundred. It is still useless 

 to give quotations on asters; they ar- 

 rive in such quantities that they can 

 be bought for little money. Of the 

 other stock, dahlias and amaryllis are 

 in the greatest profusion, and neither 

 of them move rapidly. 



Some of the more sanguine of the 

 retailers look for an early resumption 

 of fall trade, and it is to be hoped 

 their predictions are correct, as trade 

 in general is in a demoralized condition 

 at present. 



Various Notes. 



A visit to the nurseries of J. H. 

 Sievers & Co. shows a splendid lot of 

 tuberous begonias and gloxinias in 

 bloom, and a big, healthy lot of poin- 

 settiaa and begonias coming on for the 

 holiday trade. 



Charles Abraham, of the Western 

 Nursery, has returned from a week's 

 outing in Contra Costa county. 



H. Kempf will remove his nursery to 

 Colma, Cal., in the near future. The 

 condemning of the old site by the 

 World's Fair Commission, to be used 

 in the coming exposition, made this 

 step necessary. 



J. Fotheringham, representing the F. 

 E. Pierson Co., of Tarrytown, N. Y., 

 who has been in town for several days 

 interviewing the local dealers, has left 

 to continue his western trip. 



W. H. Wolters, of the Dwight-Way 

 Nursery, has completed the new build- 

 ing erected by him for his flower and 

 seed department at Shattuck and Uni- 

 versity avenues, Berkeley. G. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business in all lines of the flower 

 trade is exceedingly quiet. Stock of 

 every kind except, possibly, roses and 

 carnations, is in excess of demand. Car- 

 nations are scarce and are selling 

 wholesale at 3 cents. Some good asters 

 are coming in, but there are also so 

 many other flowers that it is difficult 

 to get fair prices for even the best. 

 Gladioli never were so plentiful. Speci- 

 osum lilies are far too common. The 

 rains last week spoiled the early sweet 

 peas; all we have now to depend on is 

 the late sown stock. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy made a wreath to 

 the order of the United States govern- 

 ment, for the funeral of the emperor of 

 Japan. It was composed of magnolia 

 and cycas leaves, with a bow of red, 

 white and blue ribbon, and was to be 

 conveyed to Japan by Secretary Knox. 

 Mrs. McCoy has bought the store in 

 the Pike Street Market recently occu- 

 pied by L. Friedlander, and means to 

 continue it. She purposes to dispose 

 of the cheaper grades of stock grown 

 at her greenhouses at South park and 

 Madison park. To look after the de- 

 livery department, she recently pur- 

 chased a Flanders automobile van. J. 

 Roney has charge of the growing de- 

 partment, and will have his hands full 

 to grow sufficient stock to supply the 

 two stores. 



Rosaia Bros, report good progress on 

 their flower farm at Thomas, in the 

 White river valley, under the manage- 

 ment of Eugene Victera. They have

Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have yoD 

 for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should ? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem. Mass.— State Floral Co., 

 North Yakima, Wash.. June 26, 1912. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused many 

 orders. The Review surely gives results.— Van 

 Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma. Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer 

 all or a considerable part of 

 the year around should write 

 for contract rates.
