The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Februaby 22, 1012. 



Eecord breakingr business for this sea- 

 son is reported by C. Morton, of the 

 Los Angeles Flower Market. Daffodils 

 and other spring flowers are most in 

 evidence just now and these are most 

 successfully shipped in all directions. 



The sympathy of all his friends in 

 the trade will be with Albert Knopf, of 

 the Eedondo Floral Co., in the death 

 of his brother, Fred. Although he had 

 been ailing some time, the end came 

 rather suddenly February 13. Albert, 

 we are glad to report, was feeling much 

 better. 



At a hastily summoned meeting of 

 the Los Angeles County Horticultural 

 Society, February 10, a resolution en- 

 dorsing Wm. Woods as the successor to 

 the late A. K. Meserve as horticultural 

 commissioner was adopted. If merits 

 count, Mr. Woods' knowledge of local 

 conditions and his experience gained 

 as state quarantine officer, as well as 

 his oft shown reluctance to put the 

 trade to inconvenience in the perfor- 

 mance of his duties, should insure his 

 obtaining the post. 



Visitors: Martin Eeukauf, represent- 

 ing Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadel- 

 phia; D. MacEorie and J. McClellan, of 

 San Francisco; T. Smith, of Cleve- 

 land, O. H. E. Eichards. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



St. Valentine's was ,4ii^,»urprise to 

 everyone. While there was plenty of 

 stock on hand, the way it was cleaned 

 up was unexpected. Violets, red roses, 

 carnations and tulips were the best 

 sellers. Azalea and tulip pans also 

 moved well. Chinese New Year also 

 creates a demand for flowers, but only 

 for Eomans and azaleas; it seems im- 

 possible to sell the Chinese anything 

 else. A batch of azaleas is specially 

 grown for the occasion. Spring flow- 

 ers are more abundant, which readily 

 accounts for the surplus of carnations 

 and general stock. 



E. C. Cook has been in the hospital 

 for several weeks, but is reported to be 

 improving slowly. E. E. C.

The Market. 



The weather during the last few 

 weeks has been favorable — indeed, too 

 favorable — for the growing of green- 

 house stock. The prevailing sunshine 

 has brought on a big crop of carna- 

 tions and we now find the growers 

 facing the first real glut of the season. 

 Other stock is none too plentiful. Vio- 

 lets and roses are still scarce and are 

 moving well at good prices. Bulbous 

 stock is coming in slowly and it looks 

 now as if much of it would bloom out- 

 side. Lilies for Easter seem to be mov- 

 ing slowly and all report an unusual 

 amount of disease this year. 



Various Notes. 



The committee on entertainment 

 made big preparations for the ladies' 

 visit on Thursday evening, February 

 15. Beginning at 8 p. m., a program 

 lasting about two hours was rendered. 

 Some good music was furnished by a 

 quartet consisting of Fred Smith, Ed. 

 Goldsack, Louis Tschunko and H. W. 

 Manike. Eeadings by A. G. Seamons, 

 Henry Benthein and others were given, 

 after which refreshments were served 

 and the remainder of the evening was 

 spent in dancing.

A party of the local florists got to- 

 gether on Saturday, February 10, and 

 made a visit to Seattle, expecting to 

 surprise our friends there in their prac- 

 tice game, but some traitor had tipped 

 us oflf and we were met at the train by 

 Messrs. Holze and Stuber. On arriving 

 at the alleys, we found that the sur- 

 prise was on us, for the bowling team 

 was there, ready for us, and before we 

 recovered they had taken two games 

 from us. 



The Tacoma Rose Society went be- 

 fore the park board this week, asking

Pasadena, Cal. — Miss Sadie A. Thomas 

 has been florist for the Baymond hotel 

 here for the last four years. 



Eoseburg, Ore. — The Fern Island 

 Fruit Farm and Greenhouses is the 

 firm name under which F. D. Owen and 

 wife conduct their business partner- 

 ship. Mr. Owen is the orchardist and 

 Mrs. Owen the florist. She has a new 

 greenhouse 30x75, stocked with mis- 

 cellaneous material for a local retail 

 trade, which is handled from a stand 

 in a downtown candy store. The de- 

 mand is so good that an addition to the 

 glass is looked forward to.
