The Market. 



The weather of the last week has 

 not improved matters in the flower 

 business, but trade has been brisk, 

 nevertheless, and there are fewer com- 

 plaints heard in all the stores. Stock 

 of most flowers is fairly plentiful. Car- 

 nations are not overalaundant, though 

 good supplies are coming in. They are 

 mostly cleaned up every day and a 

 good many are shipped to outside 

 points. The outlook for the carnation 

 market is certainly better than it was 

 a year ago. Chrysanthemums continue 

 plentiful and of good quality and all 

 varieties meet with a ready sale. Out- 

 door flowers are over, as the rains of 

 the last week effectually squelched any 

 that were blooming. Violets are plenti- 

 ful and the street venders must have 

 had all they wanted during the last few 

 days. Pot plants are selling well, with 

 some good Lorraines and Glory of Cin- 

 cinnati on sale. Greens are scarce and 

 in heavy demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Queen City Floral Co., of which 

 John Holze is managing director, has 

 just completed the erection of a store 

 and dwelling house at the premises on 

 East Union street. The new buildings 

 add quite a fine finish to this plant. 

 The store, a glass structure, 20x36, is 

 nicely fitted up and is heated by an 

 independent boiler in the basement. A 

 lot of money has been laid out at this 

 establishment in the last year, but the 

 company has the satisfaction of know- 

 ing that the place is now thoroughly 

 up-to-date. The stock is all looking 

 first-class, the cyclamens and primulas 

 being especially noteworthy, and every- 

 thing is in condition for a large busi-

Miss Bessie Burns, of the Burns Floral 

 Co., returned to Seattle November 2, 

 after a month's vacation spent in 

 Spokane, and she looks as if the change 

 had been good for her. During her ab- 

 sence the firm has been busy enlarging 

 the retail department and making im- 

 provements in the store which add 

 greatly to its appearance. 



John Holze has accepted an invitation 

 to act as one of the judges at Port- 

 land's fall flower show. 



Between business and politics, the 

 managers of the Seattle Pottery have 

 had their hands full lately. Their pots 

 seem to be filling the bill, judging from 

 the large numbers sold recently. 



The Dutch bulb growers already are 

 here, some of them calling on the trade 

 last week. 



J. J. Bonnell reports the opening of 

 fall trade in the nursery business as 

 much better than last year. He has 

 bad some extensive orders. His large

stock of ornamentals is looking fine. 

 He has about 10,000 laurels and finds 

 the sale for them constantly increas- 

 ing. His new grounds at Kirkland are 

 proving satisfactory and he is growing 

 large quantities of young shrubbery and 

 general nursery stock there, finding it 

 more profitable than European importa- 

 tions. He says the new restrictions on 

 importing stock do not help the nursery- 

 men in any way. 



Miss F. M. Colley, who used to be 

 with E. Matraia, in the Crescent Flower 

 Shop, is now assisting him in the man- 

 agement of the Paris Flower Store, on 

 Pike street. 



Some of the growers have refused 

 consignments of Japanese Lilium

 ery. The bulbs so far received are in 

 better condition than in recent years.

AN EFFICIENT ASSISTANT. 



It always is a pleasure to know that 

 one's efforts are appreciated: 



In renewing my subscription to The Review I 

 can say that It is an asset to everyone In the busi- 

 ness and that I would not like to miss a single 

 copy, although at times I can hardly get a chance 

 to glance over more than the classified ads. I have 

 closed some contracts that will enable me to 

 offer the trade some values that will be appre- 

 clatt'd In the line of Imported stock, and The 

 Review will be my assistant on the sales force. 

 I do not mind saying that from the standpoint of 

 an experienced advertiser The Review Is a better 

 medium for producing results than any paper 

 known to me. — L. Rucker, Galveston, Tex., Octo- 

 ber 28, 1912.
