The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



January 11, 1912. 



and other popular varieties are being 

 sent ^in and come in useful for good 

 funeral work and decorations. For fill- 

 ing in, stocks and sweet sultan are the 

 most popular and plentiful, these flow- 

 ers being available practically all the 

 year around. Orchids were probably 

 never more plentiful at this time of 

 year and the demand has been good, 

 but why growers will persist in cutting 

 the flowers before they are half devel- 

 oped is difficult to explain. ^ There are 

 still a few mums to be had, but their 

 glory has departed. Lily of the valley 

 has been arriving in better shape and 

 there is plenty of it to meet all de- 

 mands. Greens of all kinds are plenti- 

 ful and good and plants are not much 

 in demand. 



Various Notes. 



O. C. Saakes has been busy with 

 club and dinner decorations and his 

 New Year business eclipsed all former 

 records. He has been handling a fine 

 lot of pot spira;as and Whitman! ferns, 

 which sell rapidly. 



The staff at the Freeman-Lewis place, 

 on Fourth street, has been kept on 

 the jump with decorations. At the 

 Baker wedding at the Woman's Club 

 a fine effect was created by the use of 

 great quantities of greens and Killar- 

 uey roses. This firm has one of the best 

 windows in town to show off stock, and 

 it is always a credit to those in charge. 



It is reported that Herbert Wolf- 

 skill is quitting the florists' business. 

 He and his brother, William L., have 

 been in partnership since 1909, under 

 the style of Thee Florists, at Fifth and 

 Hill streets, where a profitable and 

 high-class business has been done. Now 

 the brothers have sold their interests 

 to Frank, who will carry on the busi- 

 ness as heretofore. All will wish him 

 continued success. Herbert Wolfskin 

 has been suffering more or less from 

 rheumatism for some time, which is one 

 reason for his decision to leave the 

 flower business, and he contemplates a 

 thorough rest for at least six months. 



Albert Knopf's many friends in the 

 east will be glad to hear that he has 

 struck a good thing in purchasing the 

 Redondo Floral Co. Since going there 

 last May he has had hardly a dull min- 

 ute, while at holidays and times of spe- 

 cial stress he and his staff simply have 

 to live at the store. 



A. F. Borden, on West Third street, 

 says that the year opened with a rush. 

 At the grand opening of the Loyal Or- 

 der of Moose, January 1 and 2, Mr. Bor- 

 den furnished the decorations, and the 

 large lodge room, 100x100 feet, at 

 Levy's cafe, certainly looked fine, with 

 large kentias, azaleas and other plants 

 and big bunches of American Beauties. 

 At the greenhouses the carnations, un- 

 der the care of J. S. Dekema, never 

 looked better. White and pink Enchant- 

 ress are the principal kinds grown. 



At the Angelus Flower Shop there 

 is always something new and different 

 from what is seen elsewhere and this is 

 where J. W. Walters wins out over some 

 of his slower competitors. Just now he 

 is featuring heather, and large bunches 

 of the beautiful Erica melanthera have 

 a fine appearance in the store. At a 

 recent dinner at the country club this 

 and Beauty roses were used with fine 

 effect. 



When taking his seat at the Elks' 

 New Year's banquet, Morris Goldenson 

 was pleasantly surprised to find that his 

 table had been finely decorated by his 

 store clerks. 'A centerpiece of Amer-
