The Florists^ Review 



July 19, 1917. 



about all he had this season. He com- 

 ments upon the unusually close clean-up 

 at the market each day for this time of 

 the year, which leads him to believe 

 that the shipping business is active and 

 that there is a good city trade. 



The Francis Floral Co. had the deco- 

 rative work at the Fairmont hotel re- 

 cently for the big Eed Cross celebra- 

 tion. The company's services were ren- 

 dered gratis for the good of the cause. 

 This firm reports more weddings than 

 usual for July. 



As soon as his employees have taken 

 their vacations, which will be by the 

 latter part of July, Julius Eppstein, who 

 conducts the stand in the St. Francis 

 hotel, plans a trip east of several weeks' 

 duration. Miss Beecher and Joseph 

 Sheib are away now in southern Cali- 

 fornia. S. H. G. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Maxket. 



There was an abundance of stock in 

 the market last week, but it was not of 

 the best quality. Such annuals as gode- 

 tias, zinnias and salpiglossis are in evi- 

 dence and the public is beginning to ap- 

 preciate them. Business improved last 

 week, there being considerable funeral 

 and social work. The convention of the 

 National Educational Association helped 

 business somewhat. 



Various Notes. 



S. A. Lubliner, who is spending his 

 vacation at Walla Walla, Wash., ex- 

 pects to remain in that city until 

 August 1. 



Oscar Moeller has closed his flower 

 store on Alder street. He* expects to 

 move to Astoria, where he will open a 

 store, there being but one in that city. 



Clarke Bros, had the decorations for 

 the convention of the National Educa- 

 tional Association. W. G. W.

The Market. 



Favorable weather has brought an 

 abundance of outdoor stock. Sweet 

 peas are coming in and are of good 

 color, with long stems. Roses are over- 

 plentiful and are taking the place of 

 indoor stock for funeral and all kinds 

 of made-up work. Canterbury bells are 

 almost off the market. Delphinium is 

 also on the decline. Bachelor's buttons 

 are plentiful and meet a good demand. 

 Peonies are off the market. Dahlias are 

 just showing color. Business in gen- 

 eral has kept up beyond expectation for 

 this season, weddings and social affairs 

 being responsible. 



Varioiis Notes. 



The Hayden-Watson Co. received the 

 order for the Weyerhauser wedding 

 decoration and bouquets. This was one 

 of the smartest affairs of the season. 

 The decoration was carried out in pink 

 and white Canterbury bells, phloxes, 

 delphiniums and gypsophilas. The 

 bride's bouquet was of Shasta daisies 

 and maidenliair, with a shower of the 

 same. 



This year's dahlia show will be held 

 during the first part of September, the 

 date not having been fixed definitely 

 at the last meeting of the Dahlia So- 

 ciety. All proceeds above expenses 

 will go to the Red Cross. The displays 

 will be divided into two classes, one for 

 large and one for small growers. Among 



FISCHER'S SPLENDENS 



A MAGNIFICENT LAVENDER FREESIA 



The only commercial colored Freesia in the world, not to be compared or 

 judged in the same class with any other colored Freesia. It stands alone for 

 size, strength, beauty and fragrance. The flowers are very large, with long, 

 heavy stems with foliage reaching well up the stems, and are highly fragrant. 



It is a Freesia that will stand the test of time and will be grown by all 

 florists when stock can be offered at commercial prices. Was awarded a Cer- 

 tificate of Merit at the Pasadena Flower Show. 



Stock is limited; send in your orders as soon as possible. Is offered in two shades of 

 color, a bluish lavender and a reddish lavender. Only good si/ed. flowering bulbs are 

 offered. PRICE: Per dozen, $3.50; per lOO, $20.00. 



Cash with order. Sent postpaid. July delivery.
