The Florists^ Review

and funeral work. Chrysanthemums are 

 now at their best. While the California 

 mums are not quite bo much in evidence, 

 there is ample home-grown material to 

 take their place. The small-flowered 

 and single varieties are more largely 

 grown and used than in past years, and 

 they add to the usefulness of the flower, 

 being much used in decorations. Carna- 

 tions are now arriving in quantity and 

 are, as a rule, of first-class quality, 

 though some of the stems would be bet- 

 ter with a little more air. The sale 

 is good and the demand fully equals 

 the supply. There are fine roses in all 

 the stores and some of the newer varic: 

 ties are meeting with popular favor. 

 Orchids are selling well and the 

 blooms are of better quality than used 

 to be offered here. Local violets are 

 none to plentiful, but ample supplies of 

 the scentless varieties from California 

 are being offered. Cosmos is now the 

 only outside flower that amounts to 

 anything. There is an increased de- 

 mand for pot plants. Cyclamens and 

 Lorraine begonias are good and sell 

 well. Mixed pans of ferns and obconi- 

 cas seem to please the buyers. 



Various Notes. 



The florists were well represented at 

 the funeral of the late L. P. Walz. The 

 Florists' Club sent a casket blanket 

 made of smilax and Chatenays, con- 

 structed by the H. Harrington Co., and 

 individual florists in many cases sent 

 their tributes. It was universally 

 acknowledged that Mr. Walz would be 

 much missed in the trade here, his 

 example always having a tendency to 

 elevate the florists' business. 



An unusual floral design was made 

 by the Woodlawn Flower Shop last 

 week. It was an anvil ordered by the 

 employees of the Westerman Iron 

 Works for the funeral of a member of 

 the firm. 



H. J. Hefty, for a long time with 

 Martin & Forbes, in Portland, is now 

 with H. A. Crouch, on Second avenue. 



The wholesale and retail business of 

 the late L. P. Walz, on upper Second 

 avenue, is at present being continued 

 by his widow, under the personal man- 

 agement of Tom V. Bhoades, who for a 

 considerable time has been assistant 

 in the store. Mr. Ehoades lately in- 

 dulged in the luxury of matrimony, the 

 lady being Miss Edythe Hodgins. 



Miss Clara M. Burbank is now assist- 

 ing Miss Wagner at the Crescent 

 Flower Store. There are no signs of 

 potatoes, spineless roses or thornless 

 cacti there, but everything for business. 



The Hollywood Gardens are now cut- 

 ting lots of carnations, their average 

 output being 1,800 daily. 



A. E. Buxton was up in Vancouver, 

 B. C, last week, visiting his friends in 

 the trade. 



R. C. Calloway, at Bellevue, is ship- 

 ping fine chrysanthemums to this mar- 

 ket. He is selling a crop of late cucum- 

 bers at a good price. T. W.

The Market. 



October business was well up to the 

 standard. Frost has put a quietus on 

 all outside stock and thus has enhanced 

 the demand for the florists' product. 

 Weddings and social functions have 

 kept up a constant call for choice stock. 

 Mums are in their glory and move at 

 a price that is profitable to the growers.

The H. W. Buckbee is coming in nicely 

 and it always proves a good seller. 

 Roses are gradually improving in qual- 

 ity, with a daily clean-up. Carnations, 

 while not in oversupply, are plentiful. 

 The change of weather seems to help 

 their keeping qualities and proves a 

 blessing to the shipping trade. The 

 best grade goes for $3 per hundred, but 

 there will soon be an upward trend in 

 prices. Valley and orchids are particu- 

 larly scarce, Violets are equal to de-
