by sweet peas, which are having an 

 active call. Bulbous stock is plentiful, 

 but there is little call and it is moving 

 slowly. The advanced season has 

 caused much early planting and the re- 

 tail dealers report an active business in 

 nursery stock, although there is much 

 late planting of rose bushes yet to be 

 done. 



Various Notes. 



A surprise party was given April 3 

 in honor of Fred Smith, the occasion 

 being the celebration of his twenty- 

 first birthday. About twenty-five of 

 the local florists and their families 

 were present. 



The Florists' Club's regular business 

 meeting was well attended despite the 

 fact of its being so near Easter. It 

 was decided to cooperate with the Kose 

 Society on their annual rose show. 



Van Slyke & Seamons rented a store 

 downtown, from which to distribute 

 their Easter orders. 



Henry Benthien, the popular local flo- 

 rist, was candidate for port commis- 

 sioner in the recent city election.

The Market. 



At this writing we are in the midst 

 of the Easter rush, so that it is hard to 

 determine the results, although indica- 

 tions are for a general clean-up. There 

 seem to be plenty of roses and carna- 

 tions. Violets are scarce, but sweet peas 

 will be equal to the demand. Lilies are 

 plentiful, retailing at $3 per dozen. The 

 supply of potted stock will be short, 

 with wholesale prices ranging from 12^2 

 to 15 cents per flower. Azaleas, rhodo- 

 dendrons, ramblers and hydrangeas are 

 in good form and are moving well. 

 Window displays are especially worthy 

 of note and are exceptionally attrac- 

 tive, with lily arrangements and bas- 

 kets predominating. 



Funeral work is plentiful and comes 

 in well to move the surplus and lower 

 grade stock. 



Various Notes. 



The Lipman & Wolfe Co. depart- 

 ment store has the most commendable 

 window displays in the city. With the 

 general merchandise tulips are used 

 profusely, with Easter lilies in the 

 background and an aquarium of gold- 

 fish in the foreground. This is an out- 

 let that is sadly overlooked by the 

 florists. There should be a system of 

 encouraging business houses to use 

 more flowers in window decoration. 



Donis & Spomer have opened a store 

 at 368 Union avenue north, specializing 

 landscape work and window boxes. 

 Their greenhouses are located at Twen- 

 ty-fifth and Dekum avenue. 



Lewis Scott returned this week from 

 his honeymoon trip, visiting the cities

The Market. 



The prospects for Easter business 

 were none of the brightest, but in an- 

 ticipation of good trade the stores 

 loaded up with all possible flowers. 

 Stock was mostly fairly plentiful and 

 Easter lilies more so than in past years. 

 Roses in pots and cut roses were plen- 

 tiful and of first-class quality. Azaleas 

 were good and in fair supply. Carna-

Pays 



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 report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say! That ad's a humdinger for vetting the 

 business.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and you 

 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. 



Flease cut 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 advertisement 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 of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused' 

 many orders. The Review surely gives resulta.
