The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 29. 1917. 



March 20. Two new members were ad- 

 mitted and one application read. The 

 amount of stock g^^owing and available 

 for a festival center was canvassed, and 

 it was found that there was an abund- 

 ance among the growers, but that it 

 would need attention soon if it were to 

 be used for display. With this informa- 

 tion at hand, the committee on exhibi- 

 tions will await the action of the festi- 

 val board of governors. 



H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult- 

 nomah county fair, announced that a 

 fund for a floral display would be appro- 

 priated, and asked that a committee be 

 appointed to arrange the premium list 

 and secure the planting of display beds 

 at the Gresham fair grounds. The chair 

 appointed John Zimmerman, J. Feser 

 and J. G. Bacher for this duty. A com- 

 munication from a firm supplying posters 

 and stickers advertising Mothers' day 

 was read and referred to the retailers. 



Senator H. A. Lewis explained the 

 difficulties encountered in handling the 

 mechanics' lien bill in the recent legis- 

 lature and stated that some of the fea- 

 tures interesting to the trade were not 

 incorporated in the final draft. Later he 

 will have a copy of the bill and go into 

 details. 



The president's desk was decorated 

 with a large bulb attached to a card 

 inviting members to name it. It was 

 concluded that it was one of the high- 

 priced onions which had changed shape 

 and color on account of its sudden rise 

 in the world, until J. G. Bacher identi- 

 fied it as a large specimen of Lilium 

 Henryi, John Zimmerman stated that 

 these large bulbs shrunk after blooming. 

 Mr. Bacher denied this, L. W. Scott 

 took the bulb home to grow it and set- 

 tle the dispute. 



Various Notes. 



The Portland Kose Society held its 

 annual meeting March 12. E. B. Mc- 

 Farland was elected president and Dr. 

 Emmet Drake, secretary. The society 

 plans to help supply roses to the dele- 

 gates attending the National Educa- 

 tional Association convention, which 

 will be held here in July. 



The date of this year's rose festival 

 has been set as June 13 to 15. E. E. 

 Larimore was chosen to head the board 

 of governors, and William McMurray 

 has charge of the festival center. Some 

 of the decorative features will be kept 

 in place until the N. E. A. convention 

 meets in July. 



John Willius is cutting some good 

 sweet peas at his range near Beaver- 

 ton. 



Several large growers are forcing 

 for Easter all of the hydrangea stock 

 they have. Large quantities of this 

 stock were frozen early last fall and it 

 is worthless. 



Clarke Bros, are busy shipping mail 

 orders, the result of their last cata- 

 logue. 



Easter lilies are reported in excellent 

 condition at the ranges of the Rahn & 

 Herbert Co., Clarke Bros., the Martin & 

 Forbes Co., the Holden Floral Co., the 

 Wilson, Crout & Gehr Co. and the Ton- 

 seth Floral Co. 



James Forbes, of the Martin & Forbes 

 Co., said he did not expect any surplus 

 of lilies in the market after Easter. 



William E. Wood, of the Scott-Wood 

 Co., said he had leased a greenhouse to 

 be used as a cool house for bedding 

 stock. The greenhouse is in the Colum- 

 bia park district. S. W. W.
