The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBKB 4, 1917. 



When the Portland Seed Co. issues 

 its fall catalogue it will contain a sec- 

 tion devoted to florists' supplies. 



A. W. Gootch, of San Francisco, 

 passed through Portland on his return 

 from New York, where he exhibited 

 asters for Mrs. R. E. Darbee, of San 

 Francisco, at the S. A. F. convention. 



The Holden Floral Co. has replaced 

 its benches, built two new greenhouses 

 and installed the piping. Mr. Holden 

 is growing about 20,000 carnations. 

 Three houses are devoted to mums and 

 one house to Ophelia and Hoosier Beau- 

 ty roses. He has some excellent pot 

 plants that will be ready for the Christ- 

 mas trade. This year a pink poinsettia 

 and the Mrs. Peterson begonia will be 

 offered to the trade. Mr. Holden has 

 been doing an excellent business, and 

 has ordered an additional motor truck 

 to take care of deliveries. 



The Wilson-Crout-Gehr Co. has its 

 Formosa and giganteum lily bulbs 

 planted. W. G. W. 



OREGON STATE FAIR. 



Good Showing, Could Be Better. 



The state fair at Salem, Ore., brought 

 out a creditable display of florists' stock, 

 but there were not so many entries as 

 had been expected. The exhibits were 

 under the management of Henry Clem- 

 ens, of Newberg, and as the appoint- 

 ment was made only a week preceding 

 the fair, much credit is due him. The 

 building was well filled with profes- 

 sional and amateur exhibits. 



The awards in the various classes 

 were as follows: 



Pot plants, covering 100 square feet — Rout- 

 ledge Seed & Floral Co., Portland, first; Henry 

 Clemens, second. 



Ferns, covering twenty-flve square feet — Rout- 

 ledge Seed & Floral Co., first; C. B. Clancey, 

 Salem, second. > 



Six vases carnations, twenty-flve flowers each 

 — C. B. Clancey, first; William Dungey, Port- 

 land, second. 



Fout vases mums, six flowers each — C. B. 

 Clancey, first; Henry Clemens, second. 



Display of dahlias— E. H. White, Portland, 

 first; Gill Bros. Seed Co., Portland, second. 



C. B. Clancey had an artistic display 

 of cut flowers, potted plants and fu- 

 neral designs. Mr. Clancey has taken 

 over the retail store of Carl Reuf. Mr. 

 Reuf will devote his time to growing 

 stock. 



Better Bait Next Year. 



Henrj- Clemens had a booth on the 

 second floor of the manufacturers' 

 building, where he displayed sweet pea 

 seeds. The Routledge Seed & Floral 

 Co. had a 200-foot display on the same 

 floor, showing dahlias, seeds, supplies 

 and potted plants. Duke Routledge had 

 charge of the display and reported it 

 well worth the effort. His brothers, 

 Ira and Ralph, were also at the fair dur- 

 ing the week. 



The fair grounds were extensively 

 planted this year. A bed of delphini- 

 ums, bordered with celosias, was in per- 

 fect bloom. There were other beds of 

 marigolds. Hill geraniums and roses. 

 The Gill Bros. Seed Co. and Mrs. F. L. 

 Purvine had a plot 150x200 feet plant- 

 ed to dahlias, which were in full bloom. 



The fair management announced tliat 

 Acxt year there will be a larger prize 

 list. Messrs. Clancey and Clemens are 

 working on a plan to mako the flower 

 displays more worth the while of the 

 florists. 



Carl Reuf, the large.st grower in Sa- 

 lem, grows his stock in nine houses just 

 soiith of the fair grounds. He special-

TACOMA, WASH. , 



Tlie Market. 



Stock continues scarce. Mums are 

 being shipped in from San Francisco. 

 Some of the shipments arrive in splen- 

 did condition, v^hile others are anything 

 but satisfactory. The lack of variety 

 is trying to the salespeople, who have 

 a liard time satisfying customers. Gla- 

 dioli may be said to be the only good 

 flowers at this writing. To be sure, there 

 are some carnations, marigolds and the 

 last of the asters, but these are second- 

 grade items. A few cyclamens and flow- 

 ering begonias are being pushed to re- 

 lieve the monotony. Mignonette and 

 forget-me-nots are to be had and meet 

 with a good demand in filling in with 

 other flowers in corsages and dainty 

 baskets. This state of affairs is not 

 likely to last long, however, as growers 

 give promise of plenty of stock in the 

 near future. Business remains good, 

 considering the short supplies.
