The Florists' Review

now on the wane, as also are marigolds 

 and batchelor 's buttons. Carnations are 

 to be had, but the quality is poor. Of 

 lilies, rubrums are plentiful, but the 

 quality is not up to standard. Aura- 

 turns are scarce, with a fair demand. 

 Callas are arriving sparingly. Gypso- 

 philas are off the market. This necessi- 

 tates the use of extra greeiis, of which 

 there is not an overabundance. A few 

 early cyclamens and ferns, with some 

 begonias and other foliage plants, have 

 put in an appearance. They receive an 

 active demand. Roses are arriving from 

 local greenhouses in insufficient quanti- 

 ties, with promise of a good cut later in 

 the season, when prices for choice stock 

 will be better. 



Various Notes 



James Simpson, of tho Acme Floral 

 Co., is coaxing along some fine roses 

 and poinsettias for the^inter trade. 



The Tacoma Whotesale Floral Co., 

 formerly the Van Slyke & Seamons Co., 

 will be ready to cur the first of the 

 mums next weeki_,^ fine house of car- 

 nations is comi/fg on. B. G.

The Market. 



The bright fall weather, with continu- 

 ous sunshine, has brought carnations, 

 roses and chrysanthemums into bloom 

 and there is an oversupply in the mar- 

 ket, while the growers are doing their 

 best to hold the stock back, fearing a 

 shortage later in the season. So far there 

 has been no frost, and garden flowers 

 are still abundant. The presence of 

 dahlias and chrysanthemums gives the 

 stores an appearance of fall. Violets 

 are coming in and find a ready sale. 

 Zinnias, asters, and gladioli are about 

 out of the market. Cosmos are plenti- 

 ful, and with the hardy asters make up 

 the supply of outdoor stock. In pot 

 plants a few cyclamens have come in, 

 and celosias are appearing. The Min- 

 nie Burgle dahlia is- much in favor 

 among the retailers, it being about the 

 only good dahlia in the market with a 

 strong stem. Pampas grass is being dis- 

 played in the stores and sells well. 



Various Notes. 



The 8,000 employees of the shipyards 

 have been out on strike, and there seems 

 no prospect of their returning to work 

 at once. This already has had a depress- 

 ing effpet on business among the florists 

 in the residence sections, but so far has 

 not affected tlie downtown stores. 



Clarke Bros.' range, on the Mt. Scott 

 line, occupies about eleven acres of 

 ground, on which there are twenty-two 

 houses with about 75,000 square feet of 

 glass. The firm grows carnations, chrys- 

 anthemums, ferns, palms, orchids, poin- 

 settias, gardenias, begonias, cyclamens 

 and other pot plants. Under lath houses 

 there is a fine collection of potted 

 hydrangeas, azaleas and ericas. Other 

 stock outside consists of bedding plants, 

 perennials, roses and ornamentals. The 

 first planting of Paper Whites and Ro- 

 mans was well rooted and soon can be 

 forced. A. J. Clarke spends consider- 

 able time at the range, now that Albert 

 Pierce, the foreman, is away on a vaca- 

 tion. This firm also has a range of 

 glass at Hillsboro, where all the roses 

 are grown. 



The next meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society will be held Tuesday, Oc-

 Mawley, La France, Mme. Abel Chatenay and 

 Mme. C. Testout, besides many others. Write
