The Florists^ Review 



Fbbbdabx 24, 1916. 



POBTLAND NOTES. 



[OoDti Ufd f om paff* 77.] 

 Billings, 1283 East Eighth street, col- 

 lapsed, and he lost nearly all of his 

 stock. The oval house in the Pfunder 

 range on East Forty-ninth street was 

 destroyed, and John Willius, the les- 

 see, met with quite a loss. August 

 Zitzewitz said he did not get much 

 sleep during the five weeks of storms. 

 He used all of the fuel on hand and 

 was saved from loss by an honest fuel 

 supply man, who delivered wood when 

 the cost of delivery came to more than 

 the price of the wood. George Goos 

 moved his dwelling stoves into his 

 greenhouses during the worst weather. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Chervenka, who left a posi- 

 tion with Clarke Bros., in 1914, to take 

 an interest in the Holden Floral Co., 

 has sold his interest and returned to 

 the position he left. He is foreman of 

 the firm's range at Hillsboro. 



Martin & Forbes displayed some van- 

 da orchids, the only specimens of that 

 variety seen this season. February 18 

 the awning on the side facing the 

 south was let down for the first time 

 in almost four months. 



S. Q. Lubliner considers himself 

 among those specially blessed and is, 

 consequently, happy, for February 12 

 Mrs. Lubliner presented him with a fine 

 8-pound son. Having been born on 

 Lincoln's birthday, the youngster's 

 middle name will be Abraham. 



Karl Birstel has brought in good 

 potted violets of the Czar variety. 



A. Hanson, of Vancouver, Wash., was 

 a visitor last week. He reports a pros- 

 perous year. He has leased his range 

 near Orchards, Wash., to a party who 

 is repairing it with a view of purchas- 

 ing. Mr. Hanson said the ice storm 

 was severe and did much damage. The 

 casings of ice were more than two 

 inches in diameter on all wires and 

 other objects. 



Niklas & Son report a good business 

 in potted plants February 12 and 14. 

 The firm had on display some excellent 

 cinerarias, grown at its range at East 

 Twenty-first and Belmont streets. 



E. R. Chappell says he has had a 

 satisfactory business since he opened a 

 store in the Broadway building last 

 December. He is pleased with the 

 business that came in St. Valentine's 

 day. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. had a supply 

 of potted tulips that was sold by Feb- 

 ruary 14. 



R. C. Cook said that, in spite of his 

 having to retire to his basement on 

 some of the worst days, his business so 

 far amounts to more than that of the 

 same period last year. 



Max Smith reports a good business in 

 bulbous stock. 



John Mates was married February 9. 

 He left his position with the Marsh- 

 field Floral Co. and now is private 

 gardener for Philip Buehner, at Mount 

 Tabor. S. W. W. 



Flint, Mich. — A florist's business has 

 been started at 1327 South Saginaw 

 street, by Messrs. Clason and Ellis.
