The Weekly Florists' Review. 



June 11, 1903. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



We were recently honored with a visit 

 from the nation'.- chief executive, and 

 we gave him a genuine northwestern re- 

 ception. We gave him a regular (lie 

 gon baptismal, for it rained a hundred 

 and one times in as many minutes. We 

 fed him on Columbia River salmon and 

 Oregon strawberries, a diet, as the Presi- 

 dent expressed it. well adapted to those 

 leading a •■strenuous life." The veteran 

 Plunder decorated the President's car- 

 riage, and Martin <fc Forbes, who have 

 the Portland Hotel trade, did the deco- 

 ration for the banquet tendered by the 

 leading citizens. While in Portland the 

 President laid 1lie corner stone of the 

 monument dedicating the Lewis and 

 Clark Fair. 



That the people of the northwest are 

 not lacking in patriotism was fully dem- 

 onstrated by the liberal way in which 

 flowers were used on Memorial day. In 

 our temperate climate there is usually 

 an abundance of good outdoor material 

 at this season, but this year most of the 

 early stock was gone or spoiled by the 

 heavy rains, thus giving the florists an 

 advantage. We had an immense call, 

 both for cut flowers and design work. 

 Roses and carnations were on in full 

 crop and prices advanced 25 per cent. 

 Some good peonies were to be had and 

 retailed at .$2 per dozen. The white 

 pond lily, grown only in limited quanti- 

 ties here, sold readily at $1.50 per dozen. 

 The first sweet peas made their appear- 

 ance on the 29th and commanded im- 

 mediate recognition. There was also a 

 good demand from the rural districts, 

 and, as a large percentage of our popula- 

 tion is from the middle west, flowers 

 were shipped to points as far distant as 

 Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa. 



Every one reports a general clearing 

 up of bedding plants. This branch of 

 the business shows a most satisfactory 

 increase every year. Clarke Bros, are 

 the leaders in this line, and a neat little 

 plant catalogue, issued annually and cir- 

 culated through Oregon, Washington and 

 Idaho, has proved so valuable an ad- 

 vertisement that it takes the capacity of 

 a big range of houses to supply the de- 

 mand. 



We were pleased to have a call from 

 and to compare notes with Frank Mil- 

 lang, of New York City, who was re- 

 centlv touring the northwest.
