The Weekly Florists' Review. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



Tin- mouth of June brought 



feast, of roses: The fortunate 



w ho were led to the altai . am 



,., ,,„ 



them. Bui everybodj has his own 



asequenUy the florists give lit- 



■ o1 ion to indooi stoi k of that 



kind after June 1. The retail trade for 



nth averaged good. Carnations 



. large quantities 



were used for school commencements. 



We will continue to have them until the 



middle of August, when we experience 



i ur hottest weather. 



It. requires very little effort to keep 

 up an attractive window, as garden 

 -mh as coreopsis, campanulas. 

 gaillardias and sweet peas can be had 

 in great abundance. It might interest 

 our brother florists in the cast to know 

 that no refrigerators are used in the 

 retail stoic- here. 



The latest florist to visit us from a 

 distance was E. G. Hill., of Richmond, 

 Ind. He traveled from Frisco through 

 the Sacramento valley, where the heat 

 was intense. He said' his visit must be 

 brief, and it was not until we took him 

 to the top of Willamette Heights, 20,000 

 feet above sea level, where he said he 

 could look over into Indiana and see his 

 mums and carnations doing nicely, that 

 he could l>e pursuaded to prolong his 

 stay. 



Portland is justly called the rose city. 

 and Mr. Hill could not have visited us 

 at a more favorable time. Everybody 

 has ;l rose show. It. would please the 

 craft here if Mr. Hill would give his 

 impression of Portland through the col- 

 umns of the REVIEW. We have an en- 

 thusiastic amateur rose society, and 

 much credit is due its members and the 

 local press for the extensive cultivation 

 of the queen of flowers. 



Mrs. Frank Crump, of Colorado 

 Springs, is in Portland, and expects to 

 i' n ain nit the coast for several weeks. 

 H. J. M. 



Paola, Kax. — Mrs. E. B. Horr has 

 sold out to a Mr. Bennett. 



Sa>-ta Cbuz, Cal.— Miss Jeanette 

 King, daughter of W. E. King, the flor- 

 ist, was married June 29 to E. B. Col- 

 lom, of Los Angeles. The happy couple 

 have the best wishes of a large circle of 

 friends.
