The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



June 30, 1910. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Last week opened with plenty of 

 good stock, but closed with a noticeable 

 scarcity of roses, excepting red. The 

 quality of carnations has been keeping 

 up fairly well for June. Our cool 

 nights and mornings are a help to 

 the carnations. Good snapdragons, 

 Bride gladioli, candidum lilies, fox- 

 gloves and sweet peas are seen daily. 

 Valley is scarce. ^ ■ 



Palms are traveling around these 

 days, on wedding and commercial busi- 

 ness. Store and hotel openings were 

 the order last week. 



Various Notes. 



Hoyt 's gloxinias are still the attrac- 

 tion in lower Riverside. One basket of 

 violet gloxinias and Bride gladioli, 

 and one of the gladioli and garden 

 heliotrope with Boston ferns, were fea- 

 tures of a hotel opening. This firm has 

 a fine lot of pansies for summer cut 

 flowers. W. S. Hoyt is a pansy fan- 

 cier. In connection with Mr. Burt, the 

 landscape gardener, Hoyt Bros, have 

 been clearing out the remainder of 

 their bedding stock. Asters were 

 scarce before the demand stopped. 



High school graduates appeared this 

 year in white shirt waists and were 

 allowed to carry only one red rose. 

 Beauties and Richmonds were the only 

 ones used. 



The Spokane Florist Co. had a pretty 

 church wedding. A post was erected 

 at the end of every fifth pew. A clus- 

 ter of carnations crowned each one and 

 garlands of green were draped to pil- 

 lars at the side aisles. The chancel rail 

 was decorated by a series of plaques 

 01 white foxglove, candytuft and 

 daisies, connected by draperies of As- 

 paragus plumosus. The altar was 

 banked with candidum lilies. The re- 

 ception room was decorated in Lady 

 Gay ramblers. 



The annual local rose fair was judged 

 this year by S. Younkin, Miss Minnie 

 Schaflfer and Dr. H. L. Moorehouse. 

 The first prize was for the best single 

 specimen rose and Frau Carl Druschki 

 won; Jacqueminot won second prize. 

 For the best collection of white roses, 

 "Frau Carl Druschki won again; Cha- 

 tenay for pink and Jacqueminot for 

 red. The largest collection from one 

 garden was shown from the Coeur 

 d'Alene park beds. The first prize on 

 the best arrangement was awarded to 

 a table decoration which represented a 

 span of the new Monroe street bridge. 

 The span was of Jacqueminot roses, 

 with a roadway and car tracks. The 

 water was represented by a mirror un- 

 der the span. An arch of roses over 

 the table added to the appearance of 

 the room. The rose fair has been rele- 

 gated entirely to amateur growers. 



Fred Winters and Eugene Szuchie- 

 wicz, of the Spokane Florist Co., were 

 visitors at the Portland rose fair. They 

 rare enthusiastic ov^ some of the deco- 

 ^•ations, the rose sjjijck and , the auto 

 decorations which were shown in the 

 day parade — one in wistaria with wired 

 chififon to match; another all in blue 

 cornflowers, and a third in yellow,

The Market. 



We are being treated to much cooler 

 weather than we had last week and 

 flowers, as a consequence, are of better 

 color, ajid substance than they have 

 beeTTTor some time. Roses, esp^ctatly, 

 show the results of the falling tempera- 

 ture and carnations are fully fifty per 

 cent better than they have been for 

 two months. The growers still show 

 an inclination to keep the prices up to

what they were at Memorial time, but 

 the indications are that they will drop 

 in price in a few days. We have had a 

 good number of June weddings this 

 season and the work has been well di- 

 vided among the different shops, and 

 these, with a good sprinkling of funeral 

 orders, have kept the retailers busy. 

 Outside stock is daily becoming more 

 plentiful. . Coreopsis, daiilias, gaillar-

 flowers sell well and are being used in 

 large quantities.
