The Florists' Review 



Januaey 30. 1919. 



presided at a luncheon January 22 given 

 by the Downtown Association, in honor 

 of the Grizzlies, the California regi- 

 ment just returned from France. 



Pelicano, Eossi & Co. were pleased to 

 receive a visit from Peter Pagano, for- 

 merly on their staff, who is now at the 

 Presidio in this city awaiting his dis- 

 charge from the army, after serving in 

 France. Word has been received that 

 Frank Thatcher, another member of 

 this firm's staff, also has returned from 

 overseas and is now stationed at Camp 

 Merritt, N. J. Frank Pelicano says 

 they hope to have both men back at 

 their old duties in the near future. 



Mark Ebel, leading florist of Sacra- 

 mento, Cal., was in town a few days 

 ago, bringing word of busy times in 

 that city. 



J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. 

 McLellan Co., says his firm is still ham- 

 pered by not having enough roses to 

 fill orders. He does not look for greatly 

 increased supplies for another month or 

 six weeks. M. M. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Flowers continue scarce. Carnations 

 are wholesaling at 8 cents and all other 

 flowers are relatively high in price. 

 The supply of roses, perhaps, comes 

 nearer to filling requirements than car- 

 nations. A few chrysanthemums are 

 still coming in, chiefly Maud Dean, 

 which sell at good prices. There is an 

 increasing amount of freesia and Paper 

 White narcissi, which aids materially in 

 relieving the pressure on other flowers. 

 Some excellent home-grown calla lilies 

 are being shown. Orders from outside 

 the city indicate that a scarcity of 

 stock exists also in the sound cities and 

 in eastern Washington. Numerous or- 

 ders have reached the city from points 

 which cannot be called Portland terri- 



tory. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Portland Floral Society, January 21, 

 1919, was well attended, in spite of 

 stormy weather. 



The quarantine on imported stock 

 was discussed at some length, but no 

 definite action could be taken until 

 more information is secured as to ex- 

 actly what the act provides. A copy 

 of the act will be read at the next meet- 

 ing and discussion will follow. 



No definite action has yet been taken 

 in regard to the annual rose festival, 

 but a decision will be reached in a few 

 days, when the florists and growers will 

 know what part they will take in the 

 event. 



After the meeting was adjourned a 

 collation was provided by the refresh- 

 ment committee and too much praise 

 cannot be given Mr. Van Kirk, the 

 chairman, for the manner in which he 

 carried out this part of the program. 



Various Notes. 



Julius Broetje has been bringing in 

 excellent freesias. Jean Eobinson is 

 also supplying a fine grade of freesias. 

 The first locally grown Paper White 

 narcissi were seen at the store of Clarke 

 Bros. They were being sold at $2 per 

 dozen. Paper Whites from California 

 could be used only in design work by 

 this firm. 



J. Koida has been cutting fine Maud 

 Dean chrysanthemums, which the local 

 stores are glad to get at 50 cents each, 

 wholesale.
