The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 18, 1917. 



Albina avenue and Portland boulevard, 

 have about 7,000 plants of 750 varieties 

 in bloom. This is an increase of 2,000 

 plants over the number last season. 

 The firm also grows gladioli and peren- 

 nials. 



The Nippon Floral Co. is building an- 

 other greenhouse. 



The Portland Seed Co. has added a 

 Ford truck to its delivery service. 



Horace Cheeseman, representing 

 Kalph M. Ward & Co., New York city, 

 called on the trade last week. 



The Wilson-Crout-Gehr Co. has 

 started to cut the fall crop of carna- 

 tions. This company reports an excel- 

 lent call for ferns from other cities.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL. 



Among true patriots who are doing 

 their "bit" must be enrolled Arthur 

 Gleave, proprietor of Gleave's Flower 

 Shop. Mr. Gleave has a fine business, 

 but is leaving it, having enlisted in the 

 army, though he is over the age of con- 

 scription. During Mr. Gleave's absence 

 the store and business will be looked 

 after by Miss Trussell, who has been 

 connected with it ever since Mr. Gleave 

 started it. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



A clean-up of stock nearly every day 

 indicates a fairly good business. The 

 demand is robust for every kind of 

 flower, but there is a shortage in many 

 seasonable items. Chrysanthemums 

 are becoming more plentiful. Much of 

 the stock, however, coming from Cali- 

 fornia, is alternately good and bad, so 

 that retailers hardly break even on 

 the transaction. Local mums are 

 scarce. The outdoor-grown mums have 

 been spoiled by the depredations of the 

 tarnish bug and not many from under 

 glass are arriving as yet. 



Carnations are none too plentiful 

 and still show the effects of thrips, but 

 they are selling well and, as usual, are 

 largely used for funeral work, of which 

 there has been considerable. Roses are 

 plentiful and meet with a good demand, 

 the larger number of them coming 

 from the south. Asters are about over 

 for the season. Not so many were 

 grown this year, so growers had some 

 returns on their investment. Gladioli 

 are still plentiful. They help to deco- 

 rate the stores and are in constant de- 

 mand. Liliums are selling well; both 

 longiflorums and speciosums are arriv- 

 ing in moderate quantities. Pot plants 

 still are exceedingly scarce; few flow- 

 ering plants, except chrysanthemums, 

 are offered. 



Various Notes. 



W. D. Desmond now is manager of the 

 Hollywood store. Mr. Desmond has 

 been employed at the store for some 

 time under Charles E. Sullivan. When 

 the latter resigned Mr. Desmond was 

 appointed manager, a position he is 

 eminently qualified to fill. He is well 

 known in the east and middle west, 

 having been manager of L. C. Donald- 

 son 's store in Minneapolis for eight 

 years. Recently he traveled this dis- 

 trict for the Poehlniann Bros. Co., of 

 Chicago, and be became so enamored 

 of our city that he decided to make it 

 his home. 



Charles E. Sullivan, for the past four 

 years manager of the Hollywood store, 



Gruss an Teplitz, General MacArthur, Edward 

 Mawley, La France, Mme. Abel Chatenay and 

 Mme. C. Testout, besides many others. Write 

 for list.
