The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Dbcembeb 14, 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



Since the beginning of Thanksgiving 

 week the market has showed consider- 

 able improvement over recent condi- 

 tions. Carnations, which occupy the 

 most prominent position among local 

 erops, took quite a jump, so that flo- 

 rists still had something to be thank- 

 ful for, even after the low prices that 

 prevailed during November. Chrysan- 

 themums this year have been of fine 

 quality, but scarcely reached the prices 

 of recent years. Last week there was 

 a brisk demand at good prices. There 

 is still a considerable stock of mums 

 to move. Local violets have been 

 largely side-tracked by the California 

 imports, which, though quite scentless 

 on arrival here, seem to meet require- 

 ments. Cyclamens are selling well, with 

 better plants than usual on the market. 

 A good number of out-of-town orders 

 accelerated trade recently. 



Various Notes. 



The Hollywood Gardens held a chrys- 

 anthemum show at their premises on 

 upper Second avenue last week, which 

 was visited by a large number of in- 

 terested and delighted spectators. The 

 ladies received floral souvenirs. 



The Seattle Florists' Club holds its 

 regular meetings on the second Tues- 

 day of each month, in the rooms of the 

 Chamber of Commerce. The program 

 for next year includes a rose show in 

 July, as well as a chrysanthemum show 

 in November. In the rose show the 

 club expects to have the cooperation of 

 the Seattle Eose Society, an organiza- 

 tion mostly composed of amateurs, with 

 whose help it is confidently expected a 

 large and successful exhibition will be 

 held. 



A. E. Buxton is erecting an addition 

 to his plant at Brighton, having de- 

 cided to grow some Easter lilies as well 

 as carnations. 



Many growers are already making 

 preparations for the next season's cu- 

 cumber business, as this year's cucum- 

 ber crop was more than usually re- 

 munerative. This proceeding should 

 tend to improve the rather glutted con- 

 dition of the carnation market. 



The members of the Bowling Club, 

 in connection with the Florists' Club, 

 think they are no small potatoes, and 

 are open to meet any similar organiza- 

 tion in battle. 



Misses Anna J. and Bessie Burns, so 

 long with the Woodland Park Floral 

 Co. at the Second avenue store, have 

 started in business on their own*" ac- 

 count in the Lyon building, on the 

 corner of Third avenue and James 

 street. The store they occupy is 14x70 

 feet. They are supported by the King 

 County Flower Growers' Association 

 and expect to secure a good portion of 

 the wholesale and retail trade. We 

 wish these popular ladies the success 

 they are entitled to. 



John Holze, of the Queen City Floral 

 Co., has just completed the erection of 

 a new range of glass on his premises 

 at Thirteenth and East Union streets. 

 A short time ago he secured a new 

 lease and, with advancing trade, con- 

 sidered himself justified in entirely re- 

 modeling and reconstructing his plant,
