The Florists^ Review 



Dkcbmbeb 21, 1916. 



received many congratulations upon the 

 success of the affair. S. H. G. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Interest centers in the supplies of 

 lioliday stock, and as there is a general 

 shortage in nearly everything the scram- 

 ble among the retailers is unusually 

 sharp. Unless there is an unexpected 

 flow of sunshine the cuts of carnations 

 and roses will fall far below normal. 

 Several growers have Maud Dean mums 

 ready and all the retailers will get a 

 few. Excepting begonias, there are not 

 enough pot plants in sight to fill orders. 

 There are plenty of kentias and proba- 

 bly enough ferns to go around. Holly, 

 mistletoe, Oregon grape and fir Christ- 

 mas trees are offered on street stands 

 and hawked about in wagons, so the 

 florists get but a small share of this 

 business. 



Various Notes. 

 W. I. Spencer, who has greenhouses 

 near BuUrun, has started a new pipe- 

 frame house 32xlG0 and expects to get 

 it ready for an early spring crop of 

 Bonny Best tomatoes. He intends to 

 follow this crop with mums. Walter 

 Thompson planned the new house and 

 will superintend its construction. 



Julius Dossche is reported to have 

 been seen driving a new Ford runabout. 

 The Holdeii Floral Co. has several 

 promising seedling and sport carnations. 

 An entire bench will bo set next year to 

 a beautiful pink seedling which has 

 shown good qualities for three seasons. 

 S. G. Lnbliner has a good display win- 

 dow and keeps it well filled with stock. 

 He says his window display is the thing 

 that brings him the business. 



One carnation grower at Mount Tabor 

 will not bring his crop in for the holi 

 days. Everybody is unusually late. 



The Oregon State Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its thirty-first annual meeting 

 at Hood River last week. Many inter- 

 esting papers were read and discussed. 

 Robert Pauliis, of Salem, was elected 

 president; Dr. C. H. liailey, of Rose 

 burg, vice-president; C. P. Minton, of 

 Portland, secretary-treasurer. The next 

 annual meeting will be held at Salem.

DELPHINIUMS FROM CUTTINGS. 



Will you please tell me if I can house 

 delphinium plants during the winter 

 and propagate from cuttings? If so, 

 what should be the condition of such 

 cuttings? What temperature is required, 

 moisture, etc.? How long does it take 

 the cuttings to root? G. T. — Minn. 



Yes, you can house delphiniums in 

 .l.'uuiarv. Give them a temperature of 

 48 degrees at night. In propagating, 

 short cuttings rubbed off with a heel 

 root the best. A cutting bench with a 

 Itottom heat of 60 degrees and a top 

 heat 12 to 15 degrees lower is most suit- 

 able. Cuttings usually root in four to 

 six weeks. It is well to state that 

 jilants from rooted cuttings lack the 

 \igor of seedlings. Unless you want 

 some specially fine variety perpetu- 

 ated, the best plan is to use seedlings. 

 You can procure from leading seedsmen 

 many varieties that will come true to 

 name. If sown in January all seedlings 

 will flower well the same year and make 

 strong, salable plants for fall. Even if 

 sown as late as June, many will flower.
