 appearance of their fine store. 



Ira V. Wilson, lately of Bryn Mawr, 

 has, we are glad to be able to say, 

 quite recovered his health. He now has 

 charge of the carnation department of 

 tlie Woodland Floral Co., at Sumner. 



Hans H. Rasmusseu is busy laying 

 out and planting some ornamental 

 grounds for Lee H. Wakefield, at Ana- 

 cortes. 



A. E. Buxton was going over to Ta- 

 (oma the first part of last week, but 

 rheumatism held him here. When he 

 recovers, he is going to show them how 

 to grow stock at Van Slyke & Seamons' 

 place. 



At the Florists' Club nifieting Tues- 

 <lay, April 14, the resignations of the 

 secretary and treasurer on account of 

 stress of work were accepted. Thomas 

 V. Rhoades was afterward elected sec- 

 retary and Joseph Stuber, treasurer. An 

 effort is to be made to induce the re- 

 tailers to take more interest in the 

 club. 



Preparations are being made for the 

 first northwestern rose show, to be held 

 here by the Northwestern Rose Society 

 this summer. 



"For what we have received and for 

 what we are about to receive, let 's be 

 thankful," said a purchaser in one of 

 our stores Easter week; "the Lord has 

 been pretty good to me of late and I 

 want to send half a dozen lilies up to 

 the church." A check for $20 was 

 tendered and received, the balance of 

 check was handed over in cash, and 

 lilies were sent. Finale, check returned, 

 no account. T. W.

The Market. 



The Easter business was all that 

 could be handled in the limited time, as 

 the trade was slow in getting started 

 and the bulk of the sales came on Fri- 

 day and Saturday. The weather was 

 satisfactory and this facilitated deliv- 

 eries. On the whole, there was plenty 

 of stock. The lilies were the best sell- 

 ers of the week and practically every 

 one was cleaned out. Rhododendrons, 

 azaleas and ramblers were next in or- 

 der of demand, while tulips, genistas, 

 hydrangeas and spiraeas found a ready 

 sale as inexpensive plants. Cut flow- 

 ers sold remarkably well. Roses and 

 carnations had the first call; yet sweet 

 peas, tulips and valley were entirely 

 sold out. Callas proved the poorest 

 sellers of the week; it was almost im- 

 possible to move them at any price. 

 Violets were scarce; there were few 

 orders taken in advance. 



In summing up the business, everyone 

 is satisfied with the results. While 

 there was no increase shown over last 

 year, there was no decrease. There 

 seemed to be more sales, but the sales 

 were smaller and represented more 

 work. While there were some calls for 

 basket arrangements, the sale of these 

 was small in comparison with last year. 



Various Notes. 



L. G. Pfunder, the retired pioneer 

 florist, has opened his summer home at 

 Gearhart, Ore. 



William Schaumann, of this city, has 

 opened a store in Vancouver, B. C, 

 called Kew Gardens. He has issued a 

 neat catalogue and reports business as 

 being aiifad of expectations. 



W. H. Woods, of Lents, Ore., has 

 leased his place for five years with an

Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al> 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say! That ad's a hmndlnger for getting ttao 

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



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and yoc 

 will not hear from me again until I can get 80in» 

 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 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 

 Qreenbouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement ii> 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At> 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had. strangBly 

 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 results.
