Mabch 26, 1914. 



der the old rate, the eastern nursery- 

 men could undersell and get a great 

 deal of business which would other- 

 wise go to the local firms. 



A carload of trees and specimen 

 plants arrived a few days ago from 

 Europe, via the southern route, to be 

 used for the city. A large percentage 

 of the stock was dead when the car 

 was opened, the temperature beingf 

 about 100 degrees. 



Martin & Forbes are displaying a 

 choice lot of dwarf wistaria plants and 

 rambler roses in the windows. 



The Swiss Floral Co. reports trade 

 satisfactory, especially in the land- 

 scape department, which keeps a force 

 of about thirty men busy all the time. 



Camellias and magnolias are in 

 bloom in the various sections of the 

 city. E. R. C.

The Market. 



Business has held up well, showing 

 something of an increase over the last 

 month. Stock has been plentiful, but 

 there has been no great surplus, the 

 extra stock being shipped to outside 

 points. Carnations are of good quality 

 and are holding a better price than has 

 been the case in former years. Out- 

 door violets are now on the market and 

 find a ready sale, as does much of the 

 bulbous stock. A forward, warm spring 

 is helping this stock along, somewhat 

 earlier than is usual for this climate. 

 Sweet peas are now becoming plentiful 

 and are finding a ready sale. 



Green goods are none too plentiful, 

 much of the stock used being shipped 

 in from outside points. 



Various Notes. 



The fiorists ' dance was well attended, 

 and the hall was taxed to its full ca- 

 pacity. During the dance refreshments 

 were served. Prizes were offered for 

 the most graceful dancers, and George 

 Seaverns and Louis Gammers vik were 

 so closely tied that no decision could be 

 made by the judges. There is talk of 

 a contest to settle the matter in the 

 near future. 



Some of the local florists made a dis- 

 play at the home products show last 

 week. 



At the regular club meeting, April 2, 

 a paper on landscape gardening will be 

 read. Much interest is being taken in 

 this part of the club meetings; the 

 papers read in the past have been quite 

 interesting and instructive.

To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 



No? 



Then tell the trade abont 

 it by nsing the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably rei)ort good 

 results. Like this: 



Say I That ad's a hmndlnffer for getting the 

 busineBs.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and yoa 

 will not hear from me again until I can get some 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100.000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next season, as I know The Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los An- 

 geles, Cal. 



Please cat out of our advertisement In The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all our 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertiaement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At* 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department ol 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives resultB. 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons. Tacoma, Wash.
