The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



JUNB 2, 1910. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Tacoma, Wash. — The Sumner Floral 

 Co. is progressing rapidly in the con- 

 struction of its greenhouses, near the 

 county poor farm. When completed, 

 the plant will be one of the largest in 

 this district. 



Spokane, Wash. — The Eose Floral Co. 

 has just purchased a tract of ground 

 near the northwest limits of the city. 

 It will start immediately the construc- 

 tion of a greenhouse plant which will 

 cost $20,000. Negotiations are now 

 under way for the rental of a downtown 

 store. The company was recently in- 

 corporated with $100,000 capital. Frank 

 T. Manahan is president of the com- 

 pany and general manager. Other mem- 

 bers are: N. L. Griffiths, Charles Jen- 

 nings and F. M. DeEeimer, all of the 

 Inland Empire Funding Co. 



SAN FEANCISCO. 



The Market. 



We arc within a few days of Decora- 

 tion day and already the signs are for 

 a heavy trade, both in local business 

 and shipping orders. Although flowers 

 are not quite as plentiful as they were 

 a week ago, they are still enough in 

 evidence to show that there will be no 

 scarcity of them next week. 



Carnations show a slight falling off 

 in supply and the price has advanced 

 somewhat. The best whites cost the 

 stores from $2 to $3 per hundred, while 

 the pink and red sorts are a shade 

 cheaper. With roses there is even a 

 greater rise in price. The best Brides 

 and Maids are held by the growers at 

 from $4 to $6 per hundred and Beau- 

 ties are worth about twice these quo- 

 tations. Sweet peas are by far the most 

 popular flower at this time and, owing 

 to the continued spell of cool weather, 

 they are better than we usually have 

 to offer at the end of May. The stems 

 are uniformly long and the flowers are 

 of good color and texture, which makes 

 them desirable either for shipping or 

 loose bunches. Bride gladioli are in 

 good demand and cost the retailers $1 

 per hundred. Easter lilies are not quite 

 so plentiful as they have been and the 

 growers are getting from $1 to $3 per 

 dozen. Marguerites, cornflowers, stocks, 

 coreopsis, dahlias, Shasta daisies, candy- 

 tuft and gypsophila are coming in 

 handy for all kinds of shipping orders, 

 and large quantities are beijig sent to 

 the country dealers. 



From present indications, we will 

 have a busy Memorial day and the 

 quiet season which we have enjoyed 

 for the last few weeks will give place 

 to heavy trading, both in the city stores 

 and out-of-town shipments.
