The Florists' Review 



"7-' 



August 23, 1917. 



flower stores did not close, but even this 

 was not permitted to mar the day's 

 pleasure. More than 300 people were 

 present, the^ Oakland and San Bafael 

 tracfc Wiitg^ell represented as well as 

 San Francisco. Many arrived at the 

 picnic grounds before 11 o'clock and 

 few left before 6 in the evening. Every- 

 me brought lunch and a 7-piece orches- 

 jra was provided to furnish music for 

 dancing. 



The C. Kooyman Co. is well pleased 

 with its aster shipping business. It is 

 in receipt of a letter stating that an 

 order in transit six days reached its 

 destination in North Dakota in fine 

 condition. S. H. G. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



There can be no complaint as to busi- 

 ness, the retailers declaring that so far 

 the month of August has been better 

 than last year. All stock that reaches 

 the market is readily sold; in fact, much 

 more could be used if the growers would 

 send it in. 



Various Notes. 



Martin Eeukauf, representing H. 

 Bayersdorfer & Co., of Philadelphia, 

 Pa., was in Portland last week calling 

 on the trade. 



The Canadian Bank of Commerce 

 formal opening August 13 called for 

 •many artistic baskets, designs and bou- 

 quets. 



A. E. Clarke has returned from Cali- 

 fornia, bringing with him some fancy 

 Celosia Pride of Castle Gould and some 

 fine caladiums. At the Clarke greefi- 

 houses they are having considerable 

 trouble with leaf curler. 



The Swiss Floral Co. has enlarged the 

 basement of its office for the storage of 

 fuel. The company's houses all are 

 planted with chrysanthemums, carna- 

 tions, ferns and pot plants. There is 

 also a fine strain of petunias, which the 

 manager, J. G. Bacher, has been hybrid- 

 izing and selecting during the last eight 

 years. All of theMpetunias are single 

 ruflfied blooms, except Elks' Pride, 

 which is a true dark purple with a plain 

 edge. The pink shades are Scarlet 

 Beauty, Pride of Portland and Irving- 

 ton Beauty. 



R. L. Scott, who recently left the 

 Portland Seed Co., has opened a flower 

 store in Tillamook, Ore. He moved 

 one of his greenhouses to that place 

 and has put it on a claim he haa six 

 miles from town. 



Growers fear that there is going to be 

 a shortage of stock because of the ab- 

 sence of German seeds, the failure of 

 the Holland bulbs to arrive and the 

 high cost of those from Japan. 



With labor demanding $3 per day and 

 the cost of fuel so high, the outlook is 

 not bright. W. G. W. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The bright sunshine gave way to 

 showers the latter part of last week and 

 this, if it continues, will not tend to 

 improve the asters and peas. Peas 

 are still in good condition and fill a big 

 demand. Asters are arriving in suffi- 

 cient quantities for the present demand 

 and are of fairly good quality. Some 

 fair carnations are on the market, but 

 are not in strong demand. Marigolds 

 and bachelor's buttons give a dash of 

 color to the otherwise quiet tints of 

 asters and peas. The demand for wed-

(ling bouquets continues good. Funeral 

 work and flowers for sick rooms keep 

 up the market and prevent any tendency 

 toward deadness of business. Growers 

 are all busy getting their houses in shape 

 for winter and all are looking forward 

 to a big holiday trade in the coming 

 season.
