The Florists^ Review 



August 30, 1917. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. is taking pride 

 in its new delivery car, which is about 

 the most liandsome thing devised in the 

 way of delivery service. 



The Spokane Florist Co. has been ex- 

 ceptionally fortunate in landing several 

 large decorative orders. Business has 

 been good with the company through 

 the summer months. 



A. J. Burt announced his intention of 

 opening a store in tlie Clemmer theater 

 building about September 1. He was 

 formerly in business at 829 Eiverside, 

 but retired from the retail field when 

 he sold out to Adolph Donart last spring. 



L. B. H. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The supply has exceeded the demand 

 during the last week, there being a 

 large supply of gladioli and asters, with 

 but little- call for them. Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums have reached the mar- 

 ket, and there are enough carnations 

 and roses to supply the small demand. 

 Zinnias are plentiful. Business was ex- 

 ceptionally quiet at the retail stores last 

 week. 



Society Meeting. 



The Portland Floral Society held its 

 regular meeting at the Masonic Temple 

 August 21, with about forty members 

 present. J. II. Wood was elected a 

 member and M. H. Gorman, curator of 

 the Forestry building, an honorary 

 member. 

 - The next twelve meetings will be in 

 the hands of an entertainment commit- 

 tee of twelve members, each member to 

 provide the entertainment for one meet- 

 ing. The members of the committee are 

 Messrs. Scott, Birchler, Zitzewitz, Pil- 

 kington, Steele, Niklas, Gehr, Forbes, 

 Olarke, Bacher, Dossche and Van Kirk. 

 On the program committee are Messrs. 

 ■Gill, Weed, Mische, Bodley, Tonseth, 

 Smith, Feser, Eoutledge, White, Kahn, 

 Bacher and Lewis. The other commit- 

 tees appointed were: Exhibits, Messrs. 

 Forbes, Clarke, Pilkington, Wood, 

 Smith, Tonseth, Dossche, Scott, White 

 ■and Feser; retailers, Messrs. Clarke, 

 Forbes, Lubliner, Smith, Eoutledge and 

 Welty; growers, Messrs. Borsch, Holden, 

 Panzer, Zimmerman, Zitzewitz and 

 White. 



The members were requested to bring 

 to the next meeting lists of stock they 

 have for sale and of stock they want to 

 buy. It is contemplated that by sub- 

 mitting the one to the retailers and the 

 other to the growers much stock will be 

 moved that otherwise would be lost. A 

 plan was also announced to establish 

 the credit ratings of florists in the 

 northwest. Members were asked to sub- 

 mit lists of florists with whom they do 

 business and their ratings to Secretarv 

 F. A. Van Kirk. 



There was a spirited discussion of the 

 labor situation and it was agreed that 

 in view of the shortage of men it will 

 be necessary to pay $3 or $3.50 per dav 

 for greenhouse help, the increased cost 

 of production to be secured by raising 

 prices. Mr. Zimmerman reported that 

 the beds at the Gresham fair are in fine 

 condition, there being about 2,000 

 square feet planted to perennials, bed- 

 ding stock and annuals. 



Messrs. Pilkington and Xiklas urged 

 all members to push the society's cam- 

 paign for membership. All ' florists, 

 seedsmen, nurserymen and gardeners 

 are eligible to membership, and it was
