The Florists^ Review 



Fbbbuary 27, 1913. 



new hot water apparatus in place of 

 steam, and so well was the work timed 

 and arranged that only fifteen minutes 

 elapsed between putting the fire out in 

 the old steam boiler and lighting up 

 in the new. 



At the store of the Hayward Floral 

 (j<n the Valentine's day business was 

 remarkably heavy. "More like Christ- 

 mas than Valentine's day," was Wal- 

 ter Garbett's report, in which Mr. Dar- 

 lin|f agreed. The window displays are 

 quite helpful here in pulling business 

 and are a great credit to all concerned. 



The first Purity freesias of the sea- 

 son appeared recently at the Los An- 

 geles Flower Market, the produce of 

 some of the San Gabriel growers, and 

 they were stfrely fine stbck. Nearly 

 10,000 daffodils are arriving daily, but 

 they seem to clean up well. 



C. M. Turner has followed Jacques 

 Gonzawa as bookkeeper at the whole- 

 sale store of the H. N. Gage Co. Mr. 

 Gonzawa is now keeping the books for 

 S. Murata & Co.,' the Hayward Floral 

 Co. and other florists. Mr. Gage reports 

 excellent business for the season, and 

 the daffodils, jonquils and hyacinths 

 from the new ranch are coming in large 

 quantities. 



Despite the shortage in many lines 

 of flower seeds, the Germain Seed & 

 Plant Co., owing to its control of the 

 output of the Johansen ranches at Ar- 

 royo Grande, has been enabled to keep 

 up well with orders, which are larger 

 than ever before. The need of a reli- 

 able wholesale house for florists' lines 

 has long been felt in southern Califor- 

 nia and Germain 's is filling the bill. 



Considerable alterations are going on 

 at the store of O. C. Saakes, who hopes 

 to get all fixed up by Easter. The re- 

 moval of the ice-box farther back from 

 the window gives a more open appear- 

 ance to the store and is a great im- 

 provement. 



The quality of Killarney, White Kil- 

 larney and other roses now being 

 shipped in from the Dietrich & Turner 

 greenhouses is exceptionally good. 



Walter Armacost & Co. are using 

 large quantities of valley now and the 

 stock is excellent. There will be quite 

 a large number of good lilies in for 

 Easter here. 



S. Murata has bought a new thirty- 

 one horse-power Buick touring car.

SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



Business is quiet itf all sections of 

 the flower trade. Most varieties of 

 cut flowers are in excess of demand, 

 in carnations there is quite a glut, and 

 prices are being cut to a preposterous 

 extent. Bulbous stock of all kinds is 

 plentiful and moving slowly. There 

 are few varieties of pot plants, and it 

 appears that the supply for Easter will 

 not be heavy. 



Various Notes. 



Rosaia Bros, are importing fine 

 acacia and other flowers from Cali- 

 fornia. Their store was gay with 

 eucalyptus and other southern products: 

 this week. * 



Valentine's day was not up to last 

 year, but some stores sold out their 

 stock, nevertheless. 



The first florists' ball having proved 

 an unqualified success, it has been re- 

 solved to hold another, and a committee
