The Florists^ Review 



NOVDUBBB 7, 1918. 



He has had two men on the sick list 

 for several days, which has made it 

 doubly hard to handle the enormous de- 

 mand for mums. Everything cleans up, 

 he says, and never before did he see 

 small white and pink chrysanthemums 

 demand such high prices. The demand 

 for short roses also has been exception- 

 ally brisk, on account of so much fu- 

 neral work. 



Enomoto & Co. figure another week 

 will practically put a stop to chrysan- 

 themum shipping and see the violet 

 season well under way. 



C. Kooyman says flowers can now be 

 sold in the Bush street wholesale dis- 

 trict at almost any time of the night, it 

 no longer being surprising to see groups 

 of buyers waiting at the market for 

 hours for flowers to come in. 



The retail seed stores in lower Mar- 

 ket street have not shared in the rush 

 which has visited the florists in the last 

 two weeks. Instead of stimulating sales 

 for them, the Spanish influenza epi- 

 demic has brought business practically 

 to a standstill. Immediate improve- 

 ment is anticipated, however, when the 

 epidemic has run its course. 



The Hallawell Seed Co. expects its 

 consignments of Dutch bulbs to arrive 

 around the middle of November.

The Market. 



Boses, mums and pompons are the 

 principal items of stock seen in the 

 market. Mums are bringing from $3 

 to $5 per dozen, and roses from $1.50 

 to $3. Pompons are not plentiful yet. 

 In the shops the florists are too busy 

 to talk and one has literally to wade 

 through masses of floral pieces and lit- 

 ter. 



Various Notes. 



Wallace Garside, of Clarke Bros., is 

 congratulating himself that his mother 

 did not take passage, as she contem- 

 plated doing, on the ill-fated steamer 

 Princess Sophia, which sank in Lynn 

 canal, Alaska. 



On account of the ban on public 

 meetings of various kinds due to the 

 epidemic of influenza, the Portland 

 Floral Society held no meeting in Octo- 

 ber, which was generally regretted, as 

 the meetings of the society have been 

 interesting and enjoyable. 



Henry Kahn has planted a house to 

 St. Louis snaps, which are looking well. 

 His Fordhook Pink and Yarrawa sweet 

 peas are setting buds. He hopes to be 

 able to control their growth this year. 

 Last year they tried to get through the 

 glass, although they have eleven feet 

 of space overhead. His Godfrey callas 

 are beginning to show blooms and his 

 Mignonette Matchless is coming on in 

 fine form. 



G. Zitzewitz is working again for 

 Martin & Forbes Co. He formerly was 

 employed by this concern for a num- 

 ber of years. . H. K. 



INSECTS ON ASTERS. 



We have been troubled with insects 

 that sting the buds of our asters, mak- 

 ing the flowers imperfect. We would 

 like to know what to spray the plants 

 with to keep the pest off.

doubtedly is the tarnished plant bug, 

 Lygus pratensis, commonly called the 

 chinch bug. It is an active, bronze- 

 colored sucking insect, less than one- 

 quarter of an inch in length. I* punc- 

 tures and stunts the terminal buds on 

 many growing plants, including asters, 

 chrysanthemums and a number of other 

 members of the compositse family. In- 

 jured plants become dwarfed and stunt- 

 ed and produce imperfect flowers. There 

 is no spray which will control this de- 

 structive insect, but if you will burn up 

 rubbish instead of leaving it in heaps 

 about your grounds every winter, you 

 will rid yourself of the bulk of them. 

 Piles of rubbish are their favorite breed-
