The Florists' Review 



FlBBDABT 8, 1917. 



carnation supply has been relieved and 

 some days there are enough of them to 

 meet all demands. The cuts of roses 

 are still light. Plenty of California- 

 grown violets are shown and the sup- 

 ply of Oregon violets has increased. 

 Potted tulips, daffodils and cinerarias 

 •lead in blooming plants. A few Dutch 

 hyacinths have come in. 



Various Notes. 



The seedsmen have finished mailing 

 their spring catalogues. Some of them 

 face a rather embarrassing situation 

 due to the sudden and unexpected ad- 

 vance in the cost of many kinds of seed. 

 Their retail prices were based on their 

 contract figures with the growers, but 

 they realize that the quantities con- 

 tracted for will fall far short of supply- 

 ing them for the season and that they 

 cannot go into the market and buy what 

 ihey need at figures which would permit 

 them to sell at their catalogue prices. 

 Beet seeds, spinach seeds, onion sets, 

 seed potatoes and some sorts of beans 

 are some of the items that worry the 

 retail seedsmen. 



At a meeting of the Oregon Sweet Pea 

 Society held January 26, it was decided 

 to affiliate with the American Sweet 

 Pea Society. All the sweet pea societies 

 of this state will be urged to unite with 

 the Oregon society. A sweet pea show 

 will be held in the new Auditorium 

 at the time of the National Education 

 Association convention next June. This 

 will be the first flower show to be held 

 in the new municipal building. A cam- 

 paign to enlarge the membership of the 

 Oregon Sweet Pea Society will be 

 launched. J. H. Dundore is president and 

 Mrs. Harriet Hendee secretary of the 

 society. 



A portion of the dock at the Charles 



H. Lilly Co. seed store collapsed from 



the weight placed upon it and a quan- 



-tity of goods was injured by immersion 



In the water. 



Spring yellows are shown everywhere 

 and several stores have a window deco- 

 rated exclusively with them. 



Harry Newel, formerly with the Hahn 

 & Herbert Co., now is with the Wilson, 

 Crout & Gehr Co. 



J. J. Butzer says his January mail or- 

 ders number more than twice as many 

 as the combined three previous Jan- 

 uarys. 



Axel Alenius, for the last two years 

 foreman at the establishment of the 

 Wilson, Crout & Gehr Co., plans to leave 

 March 1 for New Mexico, where he ex- 

 pects to make his future home. He will 

 join his father-in-law in the develop- 

 ment of some property near a good mar- 

 ket. Axel is well liked by those who 

 know him and all hands wish him suc- 

 •cess. S. W. W.

The Market. 



There has been little change in the 

 condition of the market during the last 

 week. A little rain fell, but the weather 

 turned cold immediately afterwards, 

 which largely offset the little good the 

 moisture might have done violets and 

 other outdoor flowers. As it is, stock 

 generally is barely sufficient to meet re- 

 quirements, and it is conceded by florists 

 that more bulbous flowers could be util- 

 ized to advantage. Daffodils are about 

 the most plMitilul item, but the supply 

 is readily absotbed eaeh day and prices 

 are holding up longer than those of 

 former years, in view of the slow arrival
