The Florists' Review 



NovaUBEii 16, 1916. 



is particularly interested in orchids on 

 this trip. 



Members of the California Dahlia 

 Growers' Association have received Vol. 

 I, No. 1, of a series of bulletins to be 

 published by the organization. It is an 

 8-page pamphlet containing a foreword 

 by president T. A. Burns, a report of 

 the dahlia show at the Palace hotel in 

 September (taken from The Florists' 

 Review of September 14), the secre- 

 tary's report, constitution and by-laws, 

 a list of members, and articles of in- 

 terest on such subjects as "The Dahlia 

 as a Cut Flower," "Registration of 

 Names" and "Definition of Amateur."

The Market. 



Market conditions remain practically 

 unchanged, with plenty of good stock 

 and a good market for it. Retail busi- 

 ness is good and there is more activity 

 in the way of home decorations for 

 parties, teas, weddings, etc., than ever 

 before. Funeral work is steady and to 

 be depended upon, though no particu- 

 larly large ones have been held re- 

 cently. 



Various Notes. 



A noteworthy trade event this month 

 was the grand opening of the remod- 

 eled store of the Hoyt Bros. Co. The 

 opening was held Saturday, November 

 4, and was attended by one of the larg- 

 est crowds that ever participated in a 

 store opening in this city. From the 

 number of favors and souvenirs given 

 away, it was estimated that close to 

 15,000 people visited the store during 

 the opening day. The store has been 

 almost completely rebuilt. There is st 

 new front, ceiling and floor. There are 

 no platforms or raised floors in the win- 

 dows, the displays being built up from 

 the same level as the store floor. The 

 new floor is of terrazzo, gray in color, 

 with red and black panel strips and 

 borders. S. Younkin, the manager of 

 the store and the man who planned 

 the unique arrangements, is to be con- 

 gratulated on the splendid results 

 achieved. L. B. H.

The Market. 



Followed by a prolonged uncertainty 

 as to its result, the election last week 

 had a depressing effect on the demand 

 for flowers and there was a slight fall- 

 ing off from the activity of the week 

 previous. Calls from out-of-town points 

 took all the surplus and a few mums 

 were shipped in from California. The 

 cut of roses has decreased so that, 

 after the local dealers are supplied, 

 there are few left to fill out-of-town 

 orders. Violets offered are nearly all 

 locally grown. Orchids . are being 

 shown in most of the stores. 



Various Notes. 



The Portland Floral Society will hold 

 its annual ladies' night Tuesday, No- 

 vember 21, in the Masonic Temple. 

 There will be entertainments, a ban- 

 quet and social features. A short busi- 

 ness meeting will be held before the 

 entertainments. Members and their 

 families, and employees and their fam- 

 ilies will be welcomed. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. furnished the 

 church decoration for the funeral of 



Now is the best time to start to sow the ' 



WINTER ORCHID-FLOWERING SWEET PEAS 



to follow the Chrysanthemum crop. No other flower will pay better. You will 

 have fine flowers from January until late in spring. All progressive florists 

 have abandoned growing tbe late Spencer and are making now four times as 

 much money with this early-flowering type, not only for inside but for out- 

 side planting. If sown in October and November they will bloom two to three 

 months eariier; if sown outdoors they will bloom three to four weeks earlier 

 than tbe late Spencers, producing more and better flowers and keeping the buds 

 during the most rainy weather. We have a limited quantity of the following 

 varieties to offer at reduced prices: 



PINK AND WHITE ORCHID, WHITE ORCHID, MRS. A. A. 

 SKACH. ORCHID BEAUTY, rose; LAVENDER ORCHID, lavender 

 pink; MISS FL. FARING, Yarrawa color. This lot will contain about two 

 to five per cent of the late hybrids of the same color and for late planting they 

 are of more value than the re-selected varieties of the same names. 



Price: 1 oz., 50c; 4 ozs., $1.50; 1 lb., $5.00; 10 lbs., $45.00 



FLORISTS* WINTER ORCHID- FLOWERING MIXTURE. 



This mixture consists of all the leading commercial varieties of pink, rose, white 

 and lavender, with a very few red and blue. 



F*rice, $4.00 per pound. 



GOLD MEDAL MIXTURE. 



This is made up of about fifty distinct varieties, evenly balanced to each 

 color. It contains almost every variety in commerce, including this year's and 

 next year's novelties, all of the Winter Orchid type only. Last year we sold over 

 90,000 packets to private gardeners and retail florists. In semi-tropical coun- 

 tries they have been blooming all winter. In cooler climate, if sown early in 

 spring they bloom in May, three to four weeks earlier. Florists who keep 

 a seed counter should have this steadily on hand, ready for their customers. 

 Sold only in one size packets. Each packet contains sufficient seed to plant 

 30 to 40 feet of row. 



Prices: 1 pkt., 25c; 100 pkts., $12.00; 1000 pkts., $100.00. 



Order now all you need for your winter or outdoor planting, as this lim- 

 ited quantity may not last long.
