The Weekly Florists' Review. 



605 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



We have had no time to go salmon 

 fishing in the Columbia river since re- 

 porting on the Christmas trade. Janu- 

 ary sales showed a most substantial in- 

 crease over the same month a year ago. 

 Portland has recently been honored with 

 several large gatherings of noted men, 

 the most important from the florists ' 

 standpoint being the stockmen 's conven- 

 tion, for which some very elaborate dec- 

 orations were made. Honors were evenly 

 divided, as we were all given an oppor- 

 tunity to display our skill in the spacious 

 banquet hall. ~ 



The excessive demand for funeral work 

 is more than one ordinarily expects in 

 midwinter and everything home grown, 

 as well as daily shipments from Califor- 

 nia, is quickly disposed of. The Califor- 

 nia growers are shipping in consign- 

 ments of ten-inch stem violets and car- 

 nations which retail at $1.50 and $2 per 

 dozen. 



We regret to say that we could not 

 follow the custom of the eastern cities 

 in observing McKinley day, although it 

 was our intention to do so, but we simply 

 could not get the necessary flowers. 



A Visitor. 



Gradually the traveling salesmen are 

 reaching into the northwest. The latest 

 arrival was John R. Fotheringham, rep- 

 resenting F. E. Pierson Co., of Tarry- 

 town-on-Hudson. This makes his third 

 trip to the coast. It was noticeable that 

 John was more sedate than while here a 

 year ago, as nothing could induce him 

 to take in a Scotch high ball or a variety 

 show. He had to confess to a course lec- 

 ture from Mrs. F. on his departure from 

 home. H. J. M. 



East STRorrosBrRO, Pa. — Oscar Stem- 

 pie, formerly a florist, died February 8 

 and the death notices chronicle the fact 

 that he requested that no flowers be used 

 at his funeral. 



COBLESKILI., N. Y. — The boiler shed at 

 the greenhouses of Alfred Goldring was 

 discovered to be on fire February 4. It 

 was a stubborn fight, but the fire depart- 

 ment extinguished the blaze with but 

 little loss.
