The Florists' Review 



Fkbbdary 22, 1917. 



It is understood that the Clarke Bros, 

 nursery at Oakland has been leased by 

 Y. Oshima, who will operate it in con- 

 junction with his place at Stege, in 

 Contra Costa county. 



The firm of Leopold & Pollard, of 

 Santa Eosa, has been dissolved. The 

 business is being continued by C. M. 

 Leopold. 



D. Raymond, manager of the Garden 

 City Pottery Co., which manufactures 

 flower pots at San Jose, Cal., has no 

 complaints to make about business. 



Miss Bertha Cohn, of the Bellevue 

 Florists, says the force has been busy 

 with table decorations and funeral work.

The Market. 



There has been little change in mar- 

 ket conditions. Stock is plentiful, gen- 

 erally of good quality, and has a fair mar- 

 ket. Everyone connected with the 

 flower business is wearing a smile and 

 trying to look prosperous, regardless of 

 the condition of his bank account. 



Funeral and decorative work is using 

 up much stock. St. Valentine's day 

 business was good, according to all who 

 have been interviewed, some saying that 

 they had increases over last year as 

 high as fifty per cent, while others say 

 that from twenty to twenty-five per cent 

 would be a fair estimate of their in- 

 creases. 



At any rate, it was a good business 

 day. No exorbitant prices were asked. 

 All lines of stock moved well. There 

 was a decided preference for corsages 

 and basket arrangements of both plants 

 and cut flowers. 



Various Notes. 



Donart & Stapleton worked overtime 

 handling their Valentine's day business, 

 at the same time putting up a decora- 

 tion for a church wedding and home 

 reception. This firm is making exten- 

 sive plans for its seed business and 

 has engaged to take charge of this de- 

 partment Frederick Hewlett, who for 

 several years was with a leading seeds- 

 man of England. 



H. L. Olson has been figuring with the 

 intention of building at least two houses 

 this summer. 



Henry Reimers is marketing splendid 

 onhids, the best seen here in some time. 



Adolph Donart is in with a big crop 

 of sweet peas, which arc finding a good 

 market for funeral design work.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



St. Valentine's day was well ob- 

 served as a special flower day here this 

 year. No newspaper advertising was 

 done, but all the retail stores had win- 

 dow displays suggesting the suitability 

 of flowers as valentines. The report 

 from the retail trade is unanimous in 

 that it was the best Valentine business 

 ever known. Although red was the fa- 

 vorite, the public did not insist on any 

 special color, but took yellow, pink, 

 white or lavender without any great 

 discrimination. The bright weather had 

 brought on a large supply of stock, 

 which was of first-class quality and 

 which was cleaned up at profitable 

 prices. The displays of potted tulips 

 wore unusually fine and these sold to 

 the last pot.

The supply of cut stock was some- 

 what short of the demand, except Cali- 

 fornia violets. There was a heavy cut 

 of carnations and a fair cut of roses. 

 Sweet peas and locally grown violets, 

 with daffodils, <nit tulips and freesias, 

 helped to fill orders for vase decorations. 

 The good business no doubt was the re-
