The Florists' Review 



Dbcbmbeb 28, 1916. 



No lien, either on the real estate or 

 plants, is possible, and once planted 

 they cannot be removed if not paid for. 

 A committee consisting of J. G. Bacher, 

 Julius Dossche and Guy M. Pilkington 

 will have charge of preparing a suitable 

 law and getting it passed by the legis- 

 lature, which meets early in January. 



Various Notes. 



The Sellwood Greenhouses, located at 

 649 Nehalem avenue, were damaged by 

 fire early on the morning of December 

 14. The boiler house and some of the 

 glass was destroyed. The damage to 

 the buildings was covered by insurance 

 and the owner, "William Grundig, will 

 not lose anything. The chief loss was 

 to the stock of plants by fire and subse- 

 quent chill, which was owned by C. J. 

 Larson and Henry Pfeifer, lessees of 

 the range. They estimate their loss at 

 $500. 



R. Keil, a well known grower, was a 

 recent visitor. He now is located at 

 Los Angeles, being connected with a 

 firm that has greenhouses twenty miles 

 out and a store in the city. He said he 

 was well pleased with the outlook in his 

 present location. S. W. W.

The Market. 



The flower stores are bright with 

 heavy stocks of flowers, plants, etc., for 

 the Christmas trade. The storekeepers 

 have pleased, hopeful faces, and every- 

 one is busy in expectation of the best 

 Christmas known in the trade here for 

 years. Let us hope that their expecta- 

 tions may be realized. And there is 

 every prospect that they will, for most 

 people have more money to spend than 

 has been the case for several years, and 

 the florists will surely get their share. 



Business has been good during the last 

 week, although the weather has been 

 none too favorable for shoppers. There 

 is a good supply of the usual flowers, 

 with the exception of orchids and valley. 

 At this writing ihrysantheniums still are 

 fairly plentiful. Roses are in excellent 

 quality; carnations are not so abundant 

 as in some years. Of pot plants there is 

 a good supply, but not too many for the 

 Christmas requirements. Few novelties 

 have been seen, but skimmias, which are 

 not often seen here, are lending an at- 

 traction to one of the leading stores. 

 There seems to be an abundance of poin- 

 settias, cut and potted, good, bad and in- 

 different. A few local violets are of- 

 fered at some of the enterprising stores. 



Various Notes. 



Carl Melby rented a store a few doors 

 from his place on Pike street, to handle 

 his Christmas trade. 



From the number of Christmas trees 

 on pale in every corner and vacant lot 

 downtown, one would say that the sup- 

 ply is easily adequate. T. W. 



SPANISH IRISES. 



I have 5,000 Spanish iris bulbs and 

 have heard that they are hard to flower 

 in this part of the country. I should 

 like to liave your advice on their treat- 

 ment. J. D. W.— Mass. 



If for outdoor culture, cover the iris 

 bulbs three or four inches deep. They 

 are perfectly hardy and every bulb will 

 flower unless you have wet, poorly 

 drained land. Outdoor flowering time

 warm treatment at any stage of growth 

 or many will come blind; 48 to 50 de- 

 grees at night should be the absolute 

 maximum. There is no difficulty in

 indoors, but they will not stand coddling
