POBTIiAND, CUE. 



Club Meeting. 



After an intermission of two months, 

 the Portland Floral Society held one of 

 the liveliest meetings November 19 in 

 the history of the organization. Routine 

 business had accumulated and required 

 considerable attention. One new candi- 

 date for membership was proposed. 



The action of the society remitting 

 the dues of members in military service 

 was extended to cover a case in which 

 the most active member of a firm hold- 

 ing membership was in the war zone. 



H. Niklas brought in a vase of White 

 Maud Dean mums, which he said had 

 been grown in a ground bed at 

 Clackamas. A discussion arose as to 

 the vitality of this variety now as com- 

 pared with five or six years ago. Though 

 the specimens shown were of excellent 

 quality, it was generally conceded that 

 this mum has depreciated in vigor. 



Prof. Lovitt, of the entomological de- 

 partment of the Oregon Agricultural 

 ^ollege, was present, with his assistant, 

 i^rof. Black, and led a discussion of

 SALT LAKE CITY. 



The Market. 



"Within the last year the florists* busi- 

 ness in this region has made wonderful 

 progress toward the standards of the 

 larger cities. This is due partly to an 

 awakening among the retailers and 

 partly to the stimulus of the demand 

 for higher-class stores, workmanship and 

 ef^cient service. A few years ago this 

 city did not have an independent retail 

 florist. Small retailers were sharing 

 show rooms in drug stores or real estate
