it is nevertheless a fact that within the 

 last two years over forty establish- 

 ments devoted to the growing of cut 

 llowers for market have been leased by 

 the owners to Japanese. These places 

 vary in size from 5,000 to 30,000 feet 

 of glass and are being managed by 

 •lapanese help exclusively, while the 

 iroducts are sold to American store- 

 keepers. G.

The Market. 



Just at this time stock of all kinds 

 '] poor, on account of the warm, dry 

 weather, but sweet peas are arriving in 

 "bundance and a few choice Ulrich 

 1 runner roses are to be had. Gladioli 

 ■re coming in rather late this year, but 

 '■ few are to be had, with the prospects 

 ^ood for a large crop later. 



Carnations are much better here dur- 

 ing the summer time than in any other 

 I'art of the country, owing to the cool 

 '■ummer weather we havfe. Most of the 

 i^rowers keep several benches to cut 

 ^rom during the summer months. 



Various Notes. 



The last season was evidently a pros- 

 perous one for all Seattle florists. The 

 Wollywcod Gardens are building four 



more greenhouses and will soon open a 

 fine new store, which Manager W. E. 

 Gibson says will be the finest on the 

 coast. The Seattle Floral Co. is re- 

 modeling two houses and building an 

 additional one. G. W. Scott & Son are 

 erecting one more house, besides remod- 

 eling the steam plant, and several of 

 the suburban florists are increasing 

 their glass area. 



Morris Davis, formerly at Graff's 

 Flower Shop, opened a new store at 

 1412 Second avenue. T. B. Pritchard, 

 who was manager for the same firm, is 

 now connected with the Hollywood 

 Gardens. 



The H. Harrington Co. opened a 

 branch store in the new Henry building. 

 Allen Beal is in charge. C. A. Bate, 

 manager of the main store for the same 

 firm, has just returned from a three 

 weeks' hunting and fishing trip in the 

 mountains of British Columbia. 



C. A. Sullivan and Gus Petterson, 

 both of the L. W. McCoy force, went 

 away for vacations last week. Mr. Sulli- 

 van is hunting in the Cascade moun- 

 tains, while Mr. Petterson is spending 

 his time feeding the fish at Hood's 

 canal. 



Miss Josephine Orgren, of the C. N. 

 Sandahl Nursery & Seed Co., is spend- 

 ing her vacation in northern Washing- 



ton, and C. N. Sandahl is spending most 

 of his time at his summer home. 



The number of visitors we have is 

 good evidence of the slack season which 

 prevails at this time of year. Wm. S. 

 Sibson, of the Sibson Eose Nurseries, 

 Portland, Ore., is here for a few days 

 and will soon leave for Canada, where 

 he expects to spend a few weeks. W. 

 H. Hopkins, of Kent, Wash., was here 

 recently on a business trip. Mr. Eolker, 

 of A. Eolker & Sons, New York, is here 

 for a few days. 



C. N. Sandahl & Sons have just been 

 informed that they have been granted 

 the agency for the Yokohama Nursery 

 Co., the largest nursery firm in Japan. 

 Their first consignment, which is on its 

 way, will include a full Japanese stock 

 of bulbs and greenhouse plants. 



Graff's Flower Shop is in the hands 

 of a receiver. Gus Bjorkman was ap- 

 pointed by the court to act in that ca- 

 pacity. 



W. E. Gibson, of the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens, reports the purchase of an auto, 

 which will be used for delivery in con- 

 nection with the new store. T. B. P. 



The Eeview surely does the work ; re- 

 ceived orders next day after the paper 

 came for all the stock I could supply. —
