The Weekly Florists' Review.

the cause. Upwards of $350 damage 

 was done. 



Field-grown Ulrich Brunner roses, 

 with stems thirty-six to forty inches 

 long and absolutely perfect flowers, are 

 not seen everywhere in January, but 

 this is the grade that R. W. Saakes, the 

 American Florist, is showing. They are 

 (splendid flowers in every particular. 



Superb stock is being shown at the 

 Angelus Flower Shop, where among 

 the orchids are magnificent cattleyas 

 and fine spikes of Oncidium tigrinum 

 and Dendrobium superbum. Funeral 

 work has been plentiful here; a pretty 

 casket cover of lily of the valley and 

 white roses was among the recent 

 pieces. W. Wolters has been on a trip 

 to San Francisco. 



Wright's Flower Shop had the 

 decorations at the recent Carpenter 

 wedding, using Killarney roses, pink 

 and white, in the house. The bride 

 carried a shower of valley and the 

 bridesmaids had baskets of pink roses. 

 Harry Friend, of this store, gave a 

 party to about a dozen of his friends 

 January 16, which was greatly en- 

 joyed by all. 



The Hayward Floral Co. reports ex- 

 cellent business, especially in funeral 

 work. 



At The Eoserie trade is keeping up 

 splendidly and I was glad to hear that 

 Mrs. Muller was improving in health. 



Frank Lichtenberg has his hands full 

 now at the store of Thee Florists. A 

 big wedding decoration at Pasadena 

 and the decorations at the opening of 

 the new club room of the Foresters 

 were among the recent jobs. Mrs. Lich- 

 tenberg now helps out at the store. 



G. M. Creutz & Co. report city and 

 shipping business good* , A fin^ Ijaie of 

 sweet peas is handled here, as well as 

 choice indoor roses. 



Jack D'Ortignac says he will open a 

 flower stand in the hall of the Alex- 

 andria hotel shortly. H. E.. Richards. 



VENTUEA. OAL. 



M. J. Callahan says that he is well 

 pleased with the way orders are coming 

 -in for aster seed. Previous to coming to 

 Ventura Mr. Callahan was foreman for 

 the Stuppy Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo., 

 for three years, and range foreman for 

 the Poehlmann Bros. Co., Morton Grove, 

 111., and Peter Eeinberg, Chicago. Ven- 

 tura is an ideal place for growing aster 

 seed, the summers being pleasant and 

 not hot. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Carnations are now arriving in 

 larger quantities and in better shape. 

 Eoses and bulbous stock are plentiful. 

 Violets are selling freely. Valley is 

 scarce, the supply generally being 

 smaller than the demand. Trade is 

 fairly brisk and the prices of all kinds 

 of stock are fully up to the usual level 

 for this time of year. The weather 

 of the last week has been phenomenally 

 mild; primroses and other spring 

 flowers are blooming outdoors — rather 

 a contrast to eastern weather. 



"Various Notes. 



The Florists* Club will visit Tacoma 

 this week. The bowlers are going along 

 and hope to repeat their recent victory. 



Eisdon & Son are building a propa- 

 gating house at their plant at Brigh- 

 ton.

BLIGHTED HAKEISII BUDS. 



I have some Lilium Harrisii now 

 nearly in bloom, but I find now and 

 then a plant on which the buds seem 

 to have blasted. They turned brown 

 and dried up when they were from one- 

 half to one inch in length, and on those 

 plants all of the buds were lost in this 

 way. Other plants are fine and have 

 nice, healthy buds. I grew them all in 

 the same temperature and treated them 

 alike, as far as I know. The plants 

 that bore these blasted buds were 

 healthy in appearance. If the trouble 

 is in the growing, I certainly want to 

 know it. 8. E. S. 



I have not seen a perfectly clean

batch of Lilium Harrisii for many 

 years, and it is doubtful whether any- 

 one grows any considerable number and 

 does not lose a greater or less propor- 

 tion from ^ disease. Your plants are 

 probably diseased, though even on the 

 diseased ones the foliage may be green. 

 Your treatment has probably been all 

 right. Another possible cause for 

 flower buds turning yellow is moving 

 the plants from a warm to a cold house 

 while the buds are small. For instance, 

 a change from 60 degrees to 45 degrees 

 would probably cause the loss of many 

 buds. More likely, however, the bulbs 

 were at fault and not your treatment 

 of them. c. W.
