The Florists' Review 



Mai 7, 1914. 



calling on the trade last week. He re- 

 ported business entirely satisfactory. 



Wm. Martin went to Oregon City, 

 April 27, on a fishing trip. He landed 

 a couple of 20-pound salmon. 



The Eose Festival Association is 

 adopting a new idea in decorating this 

 year. Instead of using bunting as for- 

 merly, window boxes and hanging bas- 

 kets will be attached to the lamp posts 

 in the various business streets. The 

 florists will cooperate with the associa- 

 tion and it will be a means of using the 

 surplus stock. 



The Thompson Horticultural Co, re- 

 ports an unusually busy season. While 

 the company has been in the building 

 field only a few years, it has erected the 

 major part of the glass put up recently. 



Henry Nelson has gone to Spokane, 

 Wash., to take charge of H. E. Keimers' 

 place. 



Martin & Forbes have just completed 

 two houses, 42x200, at Haines, Ore., 

 which is quite an addition to their 

 range at that place. Material was fur- 

 nished by the J. C. Moninger Co., of 

 Chicago, E. E. C. 



The business of John G. Holden has 

 been incorporated under the name of 

 the Holden Floral Co., with a capitaliza- 

 tion of $5,000. The incorporators are 

 John G. Holden, Frank A. Chervenka 

 and E. Earl Feike. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



This is decidedly late for a report on 

 Easter business, but a cheerful report 

 may be welcome even now. Spokane 

 florists are united in declaring this 

 year's Easter business to have been the 

 best to date. All lines of potted stock 

 went well, with just about enough of 

 everything to fill the demand. Of course 

 lily plants led, with hydrangeas, aza- 

 leas, ramblers, spiraeas and bulbous stock 

 following in about the order named 

 One peculiarity of the Easter business 

 here, as viewed by a florist who has had 

 Jong experience in the east, is the small- 

 ness of the Easter trade in cut flowers. 

 Whereas in the east there is always a 

 big demand for cut flowers at Easter, 

 here there is almost no perceptible in- 

 crease in the call for this stock. Few 

 of the retailers felt the need of increas- 

 ing their orders to any noticeable ex- 

 tent. 



The opening of the new Culbertson- 

 firote-Eankin department store on the 

 Friday before Easter moved a lot of 

 stock, A considerable quantity was 

 used in decorating the store, and some 

 fine baskets and emblems were sent to 

 the opening by the leading business 

 houses, to express their good wishes for 

 the new enterprise. 



The two weeks of cold weather which 

 followed Easter had a quieting effect on 

 trade. The handling of bedding stock 

 will constitute the main business from 

 now until Memorial day, and all hands 

 are preparing for a big rush in the next 

 few weeks. 



Various Notes. 



A business change of interest to all 

 Spokane florists, and especially to the 

 retailers who buy in the open market, 

 is the newly formed partnership be- 

 tween H. L. Olsson and Bernard Ben- 

 son. Mr. Olsson for several years has 

 conducted, under lease, one section of 

 the range of Hoyt Bros, Co, The new 

 firm will continue in the same place.
