taking turn and turn about. Alterations 

 are in prospect at the store, including 

 a new balcony and a rearrangement of 

 the lighting system. 



Dieterich & Turner are busy with the 

 nursery end of the trade. Grand Cocos 

 plumosa and other palms are being 

 lifted and balled for removal and the 

 quality of the soil here is shown in the 

 magnificent growth made in so short a 

 time. 



The H. N. Gage Co. is busy planting 

 bulbs and other stock at the new place 

 at Montebello. 



H. Reeve Darling, of the Hayward 

 Floral Co., is to be complimented on 

 being the first retailer in this town to 

 take ample space in the best local 

 papers for advertising his business. This 

 should pay him handsomely and every 

 cent spent will benefit not only him but 

 the trade in general. The public has to 

 be educated to enter a flower store 

 without fear of being held up. Mr. 

 Darling is making a specialty of the 

 dollar box, a good beginning. 



H. R. Richards. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Another quiet week has passed. Trade 

 is almost nil; hardly anything but an 

 occasional funeral to relieve the dull 

 monotony of the flower business. Stock 

 is all too plentiful and even the best 

 of flowers are almost unsalable. Asters 

 are arriving in good shape, but the gar- 

 bage can is the chief outlet. We are all 

 looking for a revival in business after 

 next week, when the schools open and 

 people return to town. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Balmer, of Cle Elum, was in 

 town this week, looking over the rose 

 situation, but that is not to say that he 

 is the least scared at the prospect of 

 competition in this locality. He re- 

 ports his rose stock in fine shape. He 

 is again aspiring to legislative honors, 

 being a candidate for representative for 

 the nineteenth district. The flower 

 trade here wishes him every success. 

 His brother, who was long in Seattle, 

 now superintendent of parks in Van- 

 couver, B. C, is at present in Boston. 



Hollywood Gardens had a nifty dis- 

 play of orchids in the store windows 

 this week. Cattleya Dowiana is a beauty. 



Miss Annie J. Burns, of the Burns 

 Floral Co., returned this week after an 

 extended stay in the east. 



John and Mrs. Woelz were in Tacoma 

 recentlv, partaking of the hospitality of 

 Henrv 'Benthien. T. W. 



SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. 



The Market. 



The weather is rather warm, but not 

 unpleasant. The townspeople are grad- 

 ually sifting back into town and every- 

 thing promises well for an early resump- 

 tion of business. There has been a de- 

 cided scarcity of carnations for the 

 last week. The growers are changing 

 their houses, and it will be a month at 

 least before a full crop will be in evi- 

 dence again. The price has consequent- 

 ly risen quite a bit and the present rates 

 are at least fifty per cent more than 

 those of three weeks ago. Good roses 

 are likewise scarce, and as for fancy 

 stock there seems to be none to be had. 

 Asters are a little past their prime and 



Pays 



To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have you 

 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 adveriisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on follpwing 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 

 orden. The Review ioraly gives reiolts.— Van 

 Slyke ft 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.
