PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The volume of business during No- 

 vember exceeded that of November, 

 1915, by fifteen to thirty-five per cent, 

 according to reports at hand. The prof- 

 its to both growers and retailers must 

 show even a greater improvement, for 

 higher prices ruled and no stock was 

 wasted. The demand for Thanksgiving 

 was the greatest ever known; practi- 

 cally everything on hand was sold, both 

 in cut and potted stock. Excellent 

 weather brought people out and they 

 bought flowers generously. Carna- 

 tions sold for $1 per dozen and the 

 larger pompon mums, which were not 

 offered in bunches, also sold at $1. Yel- 

 low mums were most sought; Eaton, 

 Chadwick and Bonnaffon were the lead- 

 ing varieties. 



There was more than a normal run 

 of funeral work during the week, with 

 a special rush on the day after Thanks- 

 giving. The fall drought held back the 

 work of the nurserymen, but was a 

 benefit to their stock, which is well 

 cured. 



Various Notes. 



L. C. Shearer, who recently sold his 

 interest in the Erie Greenhouses, has 

 bought from James Wilkinson a range 

 of houses at Gladstone. He intends to 

 grow pot plants and bedding stock. 



A. F. Lalane has opened a flower 

 store at 311 Morrison street. 



H. J. Millatt was laid up for over a 

 week with ptomaine poisoning. He has 

 recovered and is back at his work in the 

 store of Clarke Bros. 



Rahn & Herbert have been cutting 

 some excellent Chadwick mums. 



On calling at the establishment of 

 the Holden Floral Co., November 28, 

 the writer found Mr. Holden and his 

 entire crew occupied cutting and ship- 

 ping orders for Thanksgiving flowers, 

 principally mums. Every flower that 

 was ready to cut was sold and some or- 

 ders were only partially filled. Mr. 

 Holden took time to show his houses 

 of Christmas stock. A hurried look at 

 them was sufficient to verify the re- 

 ports that Mr. Holden has the finest be- 

 gonias — Cincinnati and Melior — and 

 poinsettias he ever grew. He has had 

 success with pink poinsettias, both in 

 pans and benched, and has grown a 

 short bench of white ones. He showed 

 me a trial lot of Autocrat mums, which 

 he thinks will prove a desirable variety 

 of mum. 



Some benches of Maud Dean were 

 just about right for Christmas cutting. 

 In carnations he is growing Matchless, 

 Victory, Herald and Enchantress Su- 

 preme. 



Julius A. Schnapp, formerly associ- 

 ated with Chicago florists and recently 

 with the store of the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens, Seattle, has taken a position in 

 the Clarke Bros, store. 



Joseph Huserick, the wire worker, has 

 returned from a business trip to cities 

 in Montana, Idaho and eastern Wash- 

 ington. He said he was well pleased 

 with the results of his trip. Some of 

 the designs wanted were too large to 

 ship, so he made them up on the spot. 



A. I. Anderson has the benches in his 

 greenhouse on Milwaukie avenue set to 

 Bonny Best tomatoes and is beset with
