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. Ltke this: 



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 

 bT advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused many 

 orders. The Review surely gives results.— Van 

 Slyke ft Seamoni, Tacoma. Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer 

 all or a considerable part of

Various Notes. 



A visit to the establishment of E, W. 

 McLellan & Co., at Burlingame, shows 

 a splendid stock of roses and carna- 

 tions coming on and also for immediate 

 cutting. The quantity of stock cut 

 and shipped from this place during 

 the holiday season was by far the 

 largest in the history of the company. 



T. F. Lewis, representing the Salem 

 Nurseries, Salem, Ore., is in town. 



E. T. Phillips is on a two weeks' 

 trip to southern California. G.

The Market. 



Trade was pretty quiet last week, a 

 not unusual condition after the holi- 

 day stimulus. There is a fair supply 

 of all varieties of flowers, but nothing 

 approaching a glut. As soon as the 

 weather improves, the trade will un- 

 doubtedly resume its normal condition. 

 Carnations are showing the effect of the 

 want of sunshine in most cases; the 

 stems are weak, but the flowers make 

 up in quantity what they lack in qual- 

 ity. The prices are surely dispropor- 

 tionate,' when one week they sell at 

 $2.50 per dozen and the next week at 

 50 cents, and that course might easily 

 be modified. Eoses are not plentiful 

 and the demand is not heavy. Bulb 

 stock is now arriving in good quantities 

 and there is pretty good sale for it. 

 Cinerarias are in demand and there 

 are lots of cyclamens and primulas on 

 sale. 



Various Notes. 



C. H. Eoney, formerly at the Wash- 

 ington park greenhouses of Mrs. L. W. 

 McCoy, is now with the Aabling-Eb- 

 right Co. This firm is extending its 

 business in all lines and is now getting 

 after the wholesale orders in good 

 shape. 



H. Hefty, who has been with the 

 Woodlawn Flower Store for some 

 months, returned to Portland, Ore., last 

 week. Julius Schnapp has come back 

 from that city and is taking Mr. 

 Hefty 's place in the store. 



J. J. Karins, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., 

 is in the city. Mr. Brown, of Brown 

 Bros., Vancouver, B. C, was a visitor 

 here last week. 



Gus Bjorkman, superintendent of 

 the greenhouses of Hollywood Gardens, 

 is in the Noble hospital, threatened 

 with an attack of pneumonia. Gus 

 Peterson is at home, ill, and others 

 of the store staff are at present laid up. 



Last week we had the heaviest fall 

 of snow in five years. Following low 

 temperatures and frozen ground, it has 

 stayed longer with us than usual, but 

 the present mild weather is moving it 

 fast, so that outside work on the land 

 will not long be delayed. T. W.

The Market. 



Business has been moving along 

 steadily. While there is not a great 

 deal going on socially, a steady counter 

 trade and a goodly amount of funeral 

 work are more essential than intermit- 

 tent business. Eoses are a little off 

 crop. The dark weather had a telling 

 effect on the supply. Carnations have 

 been plentiful in all colors, yet not to 

 a degree where any are consigned to
