The Weekly Florists' Review. 



45 



ican Beauty roses was filled recently 

 by the Hayward Floral Co. The win- 

 dow is always attractive here and good 

 fitoek is shown. 



Tassano Bros, keep busy at both 

 stores and, in addition to their business 

 ib greens, handle large stocks of cut 

 flowers. 



Trade at the Los Angeles Flower 

 jrarket has kept up beyond the most 

 sanguine expectations of Manager C. 

 Jiorton. Five men are constantly em- 

 ployed now and have all they can do. 

 The first of the Brazee daffodils came 

 ill February 2 and about 6,000 a day 

 i:^ the rate of cutting now. The Purity 

 t'jeesias from Fischer's and Young's 

 ranches at San Gabriel are handled 

 here exclusively. Trade in supplies is 

 also increasing. 



At the Superior Nursery, Fifty-ninth 

 and Compton streets, Mr. Gutting is 

 propagating Boston and Amerpohlii 

 ferns largely. Besides being the largest 

 local place devoted to pot plants, this 

 firm also has a tract of land near 

 Wilmington, where choice nursery stock 

 is grown. They are now shipping dor- 

 mant field-grown roses. 



Creutz & Co. have moved from their 

 old location at Fourth and Broadway 

 to 403 West Eighth street. Business 

 seems to have a tendency to go south 

 and the change will probably be a 

 good one, especially as there are much 

 better facilities in the new place with 

 which to handle this firm's increasing 

 business in greens and cut flowers at 

 wholesale. Mexican ivy is a strong 

 specialty here, as is also good valley. 



Propagation of all classes of young 

 stock is going on briskly at the Die- 

 terich & Turner greenhouses at Mon- 

 tebello. There are large and healthy 

 blocks of Boston and other ferns, roses 

 in all the popular and many new va- 

 rieties and a big stock of the new mar- 

 guerite, Mrs. F. Sander. A big sea- 

 son 's shipping business is foreshadowed 

 in the large number of advance orders 

 received. 



The news of the death of A. B. 

 Meserve, horticultural commissioner for 

 Los Angeles county, as recorded in the 

 obituary column in this week's issue, 

 was received by all in the trade with 

 great regret. H. R. Richards. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



The last week was a busy one for 

 the local florists, as each one had a 

 generous amount of funeral work, 

 which cleaned up what at first had 

 looked like an oversupply. The death 

 of Ex-Representative Shutt and of 

 Thomas Berry, both prominent men of 

 this city, called for a great deal of the 

 finer designs, and many expensive and 

 elaborate pieces were put up. One 

 <?asket cover, made entirely of violets, 

 lily of the valley and orchids, was un- 

 doubtedly among the best ever seen in 

 this city. Stock is coming in more 

 plentifully, especially carnations, many 

 of which are of poor quality, with 

 weak stems. Bulbous stock is plenti- 

 ful, but sells well, and the same can 

 be said of potted plants of all kinds. 



Various Notes. 



George Seaverns, manager of the 

 Northwestern Floral Co., reports busi- 

 ness good, especially along the line of 

 nursery stock. This city has felt the
