The Florists' Review 



AnousT 31, 1916. 



fine valley, but the quantity is limited. 

 They are doing fairly well with the new 

 Tipperary rose. 



Three thousand blooms, representing 

 more than 400 varieties of dahlias, 

 were used in the decorations at the 

 luncheon given to C. E. Hughes at the 

 Commercial Club. The flowers were 

 furnished by the California Dahlia 

 Growers' Association. 



Mr. Baldocchi, of Podesta & Baldoc- 

 chi, says that business continues rather 

 spotted, but that there are enough busy 

 days to make the total compare favor- 

 ably with that of any former season. 

 He says there is a large demand for 

 basket arrangements. » 



For some time there has been a move- 

 ment among retail florists to cooperate 

 with the wholesalers on certain matters 

 aflfecting both departments of the busi- 

 ness. A definite step was taken in this 

 direction Wednesday, August 23, when 

 a large gathering of both interests met 

 at the call of F. J. Bertrand, manager 

 of Joseph 's. Mr. Bertrand had notified 

 all the downtown retailers and whole- 

 salers of the meeting and every house 

 responded to the call, which showed 

 that the time was ripe for action. A 

 spirit of good fellowship prevailed and 

 the desire for cooperation was encour- 

 aging. Various trade abuses were dis- 

 cussed, Including the practice of whole- 

 salers selling at retail and retailers buy- 

 ing direct from the growers. After each 

 side had presented its views in a friend- 

 ly way, committees were appointed to 

 go into the various problems more thor- 

 oughly. Tt is probable that the move- 

 ment will result in a permanent organ- 

 ization of the retailers and, possibly, of 

 the wholesalers. S. H. G.

The Market. 



Last week brought the first really 

 uncomfortable summer weather of the 

 season here. The mercury climbed into 

 the nineties several times, and August 

 24 a record of 96 degrees was made, 

 with a drop back into the sejifiiit^es by 

 bedtime. Social events wer^cut down, 

 but the demand for funeral work was 

 brisk. A large supply of seasonable 

 flowers was offered in great variety, in- 

 cluding scabiosas, zinnias, asters, cen- 

 taureas, gaillardias, sweet peas, dahlias, 

 helianthus, gladioli, iris, cosmos, salpi- 

 glossis, coreopsis, phlox. Golden Glow, 

 ageratums, verbenas, hnnnemannias, 

 foxgloves, montbretias, stocks, gypso- 

 philas, water lilies, and auratum, ru- 

 brum and album lilies. Potted asters 

 are oflFered. These, with a few gloxi- 

 nias and celosias, cover the list of flow- 

 ering plants. 



Various Notes. 



E. .T. Steele says twenty hands an' 

 now employed in gathering seeds at 

 Steele 's Pansy Gardens. The season 

 has been favorable and the seed is 

 plump and fertile. 



Hans Niklas and his family spent a 

 short vacation at Salem. 



S. G. Lubliner is making improve- 

 ments in his store in the Hotel Port- 

 laml building. Mirrors and grill work 

 about the show window, painting, re- 

 fitting and rearranging the interior, all 

 have added to the attractiveness of the 

 place. Mrs. Lubliner has returned from 

 a three months' visit at her former 

 home in Walla Walla, and her brother, 

 Edgar Strauss, is expected back from 

 his vacation about September 1.

Clarke Bros, report a good tlemand 

 for water lilies. They use them fre- 

 quently in funeral work. 



Elmer Feig, of Niklas & Son 's store, 

 went as a member of the band on the 

 recent trip of the naval militia to 

 Alaska. They went up as far as Sitka. 

 Elmer said the band members were ex-

 pleasant trip.

To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 resnlts. Like this: 



Say I That ad's a hamdlnter for tettint tha 

 bosiness.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttinrs advertised, and yon 

 will not hear from me again until I can get some 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100.000 Carnation 

 cattlnflrs for next season, as I know The Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm. Los An- 

 feles, Cal. 



Please cut out of our advertisement in The Ra- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all oar 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokana 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem. 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Oo.< 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the resnlts obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results,
