The Florists^ Review 



March 5, 1914. 



No budded plants are grown; they axe 

 all on their own roots. 



Besides the 300 acres of nursery out- 

 side of town, the Armstrong Nurseries, 

 at Ontario, make a good showing in- 

 side the city limits. The new office 

 building which commemorates the 

 twenty-nfth anniversary of the firm, is 

 a splendid, up-to-date structure, with 

 every convenience for handling the 

 large amount of business done here. 

 The stock shown in the nursery is ex- 

 ceedingly well grown, and altogether 

 the place bears the stamp of an up-to- 

 the-minute establishment, of which Mr. 

 Armstrong is justly proud. 



O. C. Saakes had a most attractive 

 valentine window, with lay figures and 

 many different styles of bouquets.

The Market. 



Business for this locality has shown a 

 slight improvement the last few weeks. 

 Bright weather has improved the sub- 

 stance of all cut stock, also materially 

 increasing the quantity. Many of the 

 growers are considering throwing out 

 carnations, to make room for cucum- 

 bers, tomatoes, etc., and it looks as 

 though there will not be the usual glut, 

 with the attending low prices, seen in 

 former years. Bulbous stock still is 

 plentiful and is selling at a price far 

 below where either the grower or re- 

 tailer can secure a fair profit. There 

 is far too much of this stock, and we 

 think that the next few years will see 

 a great decrease in the forcing of this 

 kind of material. Valley is fair in 

 quantity and quality and meets with 

 ready sale. Violets are plentiful; some 

 home-grown doubles of fine quality are 

 being shown. Although the bright days 

 are having their effect on the southern 

 stock, these will soon be displaced by 

 sweet peas, a fair number of which 

 are now on the market. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Hoffmeister, of the Washington 

 Floral Co., Seattle, was in the city dur- 

 ing the week. He reports things pros- 

 perous in the Queen City. 



Conrad Klam, of Olympia, was over 

 at the social session of the Florists' 

 Club February 12. .J. L. S.

The Market. 



Business for last week was about the 

 same as previously reported. Since the 

 Lenten season commenced there has 

 been little entertaining going on, but 

 other lines are holding up nicely. Flow- 

 ers are coming in more plentifully, 

 spring flowers predominating. Indoor- 

 grown lilac moves readily. Eoses are 

 not overplentiful, and it will require a 

 few more weeks of sunshine to bring 

 better results. Carnations clean up 

 daily at good prices. Callas and Easter 

 lilies are about equal to the demand. 



Green goods are rather scarce. Maid- 

 enhair fern is almost out of the market. 

 Cecile Brunner roses are popular for 

 corsage work. The supply is mostly 

 shipped from California. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Vetter, well known to the trade 

 in Boston and Eochester, died suddenly 

 here February 22. He has been a suf-
