working under the same lease. Mr. Ben- 

 son has been employed as foreman at 

 Henry Eeimers' greenhouses. Both men 

 have been on the coast for several years, 

 but before coming west were well known 

 in the middle states, Mr. Olsson having 

 been with Hess & Swoboda, of Omaha, 

 and Mr. Benson with the Thompson Car- 

 nation Co., of Joliet, 111. Mr. Benson is 

 succeeded at the Eeimers houses by a 

 Mr. Nelson, who comes from Martin & 

 Forbes, of Portland, Ore. 



F. L. Ziegler is receiving some fine 

 Mrs. Perry roses from one of his grow-

A. J. Burt reports his landscape busi- 

 ness to have been good thus far. His 

 decorators have been busily occupied 

 with wedding work; the principal order 

 was for the wedding of Miss Coughlin, 

 at St. Joseph's Catholic church. 



The Hoyt Bros, Co. is displaying some 

 excellent stock in the windows, particu- 

 larly in large basket arrangements. 



The Spokane Florist Co. is showing 

 fine specimen hydrangea and rhododen- 

 dron plants. This firm maintains a high 

 standard in window displays and this 

 week's window is no exception. They 

 report an elaborate decoration at the 

 Paulsen reception recently. 



Henry Eeimers disposed of between 

 1,000 and 1,500 lilies this spring, mainly 

 through his store, though some were 

 bought by other retailers. The quality 

 was particularly fine. 



One of the recent cold snaps caught 

 the Spokane Greenhouses, Inc., un- 

 awares, and froze a batch of hydrangeas 

 just ready for market, besides a number 

 of ferns. L. B. H. 



SHAW'S GABDEN ADDS COUBSES. 



The April bulletin of the Missouri 

 Botanical Garden, at St. Louis, an- 

 nounces the addition of new courses in 

 floriculture and allied work. Under the 

 will of Henry Shaw, the founder of the 

 Garden, instruction was to be a part 

 of the work of the Garden, and fifty- 

 five students have been enrolled in the 

 twenty-four years since its beginning, 

 twenty-five of whom have completed 

 the prescribed course. 



Now that the facilities for this work, 

 practical as well as theoretical, have 

 been largely increased, provision is 

 being made for courses which shall 

 give a complete preparation in neces- 

 sary subjects to those who wish pro- 

 fessional training in floriculture, land- 

 scape gardening and the like. A period 

 of three years is prescribed for cover- 

 ing the work completely. An annual 

 tuition fee of $50 is charged. A single 

 course, covering one year, may be taken 

 at a cost of $15 for tuition, and a three 

 months' course for $5, by those who 

 wish to cover only one subject. 



Six annual scholarships, yielding each 

 holder $350 annually, are provided for; 

 these are to be awarded after a com- 

 petitive examination of applicants, who 

 must have the equivalent of a high 

 school education. These scholarships 

 are continuous throughout the three 

 years on condition of the holders keep- 

 ing up to a certain standard. 



Twelve ofiicers of administration and 

 instruction, headed by George Thomas 

 Moore, director of the Garden, make up 

 the teaching staff and cover the field 

 well. The course and the method of 

 work is laid out with an eye upon its 

 use for training those who wish to take 

 up this line professionally, and the 

 treatment of the subjects is well 

 adapted to that end.

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 humdlnsrer for rettins the 

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



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and yon 

 will not hear from me again until I can eret 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- 

 treles, Cal. 



Flease cut out of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlinra. We sold all onr 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Qreenhouses (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, strantely 

 enongh, on following days, orders from Salem, 

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

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obthlned 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results. 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash.
