The Florists' Review 



March 15, 1917. 



The Portland Floral Society was rep- 

 resented at a meeting of the clubs of 

 the city last week, the purpose of which 

 was to consider the question as to 

 whether a rose festival should be held 

 this year. The plan first talked of, that 

 of holding a floral display of some sort 

 during the convention of the National 

 Educational Association, about the mid- 

 dle of July, was abandoned, and it was 

 decided to hold the rose festival early 

 in June. Candidates for election to the 

 board of governors are being selected 

 by a nominating committee. 



George Betz has opened a flower stand 

 on East Morrison street, near Grand 

 avenue. He will retail stock grown by 

 his sons at the Williams avenue and 

 Woodmere ranges. S. W. W.

The Market, 



Whether or not Lent is to be held en- 

 tirely responsible for the falling off in 

 business, it is impossible to say, but that 

 there has been a decided relapse is be- 

 yond doubt. To be convinoed of this 

 one has but to talk with any of the re- 

 tailers for a few minutes. However, 

 Easter will bring a return of the usual 

 busy times and a little rest now will do 

 us good. 



Stock, generally, is plentiful and of 

 good quality. Bulbous stock, carnations 

 and sweet peas are to be had in sufficient 

 quantities to meet all demands. Home- 

 grown roses are still scarce. The article 

 which is most noticeably scarce, and 

 which is giving retailers the most con- 

 cern, is greens. California plumosus has 

 been hard to find, and, while the price 

 has remained unchanged, the quantity 

 in a bunch is just about half the regular 

 bunch. Flat ferns and Oregon grape, 

 which usually can be gathered all win- 

 ter, are covered with snow in the woods 

 and cannot be reached. As California 

 greens usually are available, not much 

 plumosus or Sprengeri is grown in the 

 local greenhouses; consequently the un- 

 usual conditions have worked a hardship 

 with everyone. 



Sunshine and Shade. 



The name, "Sunny Old Spokane," is 

 good and is applicable about nine 

 months of the year. During December, 

 January and February of each year, 

 however, it is strictly prohibited by the 

 true Spokane booster. The following 

 table may tell why and also explain why 

 roses are not grown in Spokane during 

 the winter:

Various Notes. 



Bernson & Halle are planting a new 

 crop of sweet peas, to follow the pres- 

 ent crop. They have had wonderful suc- 

 cess with these. Commercial travelers 

 from the eastern, cities, commenting on 

 the flowers, say they have not seen their 

 equal oven in the Chicago markets. 



H. 1j. OlssoTi has been busy packing 

 and shipping shamrocks and seedling 

 cyclamens. The seed of the first came 

 directly from Ireland and the cyclamen 

 seed from England. A lot of German 

 seed ordered and shipped he never re-
