The Florists^ Review 



Mai 22, 1913. 



showing. Roses are good, but not in 

 great supply, and cut flowers of all 

 kinds are scarce and in heavy demand. 

 The sales of bedding plants continue 

 brisk and good geraniums are none too 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The King County Fair Association is 

 offering prizes of $75, $50 and $25 to 

 florists for a display of flowers at the 

 fair at the Meadows in September. 



Andrew Matthiesen has been on the 

 sick list for the last two weeks, suffer- 

 ing from a painful affliction in his 

 throat. At last accounts he was able to 

 resume his work, 



Bisdon & Son have profited by the 

 good prices for cucumbers. They com- 

 menced cutting early and got the top df 

 the market. Other growers are now 

 busy shipping and the price for first 

 grade continues good. 



Thomas Wylie has been appointed a 

 delegate to the convention of the Order 

 of Scottish Clans, which takes place in 

 Philadelphia at the same time as the 

 Florists' convention in Minneapolis. A 

 suggestion has been made to change 

 the date of the latter in order to allow 

 his visit including both conventions. 

 Will the S. A. F, kindly take notice? 



Several of the local florists are plan- 

 ning going east to the convention in 

 August. No doubt they will have the 

 time of their lives. T. W.

The Market. 



With a demand equal to the supply, 

 there is a daily clean-up of the market. 

 There is a considerable demand from 

 out-of-town florists, showing a shortage 

 elsewhere, or an increased demand, as 

 the case may be. The stock on the 

 market is of a better grade than is 

 usually offered, therefore commanding 

 a prime price. With the increase of 

 sunshine, Beauties have produced an 

 excellent cut daily. Maids, Bichmonds, 

 Killarneys and Gates also have shown 

 an improvement. 



Carnations are exceedingly good 

 property and firm prices are maintained. 

 In the miscellaneous line there is a 

 variety, including snapdragon, iris, 

 tulips and mignonette. Violets are 

 entirely out of the market. Orchids, 

 valley and sweet peas enjoy the usual 

 demand. Greens, such as asparagus and 

 maidenhair ferns, are more plentiful. 

 The first peonies were displayed in the 

 windows last week, but the crop in 

 general is late, it being quite doubtful 

 if they will be out in time for Memo- 

 rial day. 



Various Notes. 



About fifty members of the Florists' 

 Club accepted the invitation of the 

 Oregon Agricultural College, at Cor- 

 vallis, to attend the alumni home com- 

 ing day. May 15. They were enter- 

 tained royally and spent the day in 

 inspecting the various departments. A 

 sumptuous banquet was served the vis- 

 itors in the evening by President Kerr. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, May 12, was largely attended. 

 There was considerable business before 

 the house for discussion. Publicity and 

 a wider scope of representation in this 

 column were urged. This is a step in the 

 right direction, and with the assistance 

 of the club and growers at large this 

 object can easily be achieved. The 

 scribe always is glad to get the facts.
