The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBHB 16, 1919. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Tlie market is holding up well for 

 this time of the year. Becent good 

 weather has been a great help to the 

 outside growers and gladioli, zinnias, 

 larkspur and cosmos, and some other 

 varieties, are still with us in fair quan- 

 tity. Dahlias are now at their best 

 and are arriving in goodly numbers. 



A good cut of roses of the best qual- 

 ity is coming in daily. Carnations are 

 beginning to shape up well and are ar- 

 riving in fairly good quantities. Local 

 chrysanthemums will be on the market 

 in about ten days or two weeks and the 

 trade is now dependent on California 

 shipments for what they use. The best 

 shipping sorts are Crocus, Chieftain and 

 Clara Wells. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Dunlap 

 have reached Portland after a tour 

 across the states in their Oldsmobile. 

 They left Philadelphia, Pa., August 19, 

 stopping several days in the different 

 cities to visit the florists. On their way 

 they motored through the Yellowstone 

 park and then to Seattle. Mr. Dunlap 

 has been with Pennock Bros, for twenty- 

 seven years, but his ambition has al- 

 ways been to take this trip and settle 

 in the west. He is now with the Martin 

 & Forbes Co. 



Enrico Eosaia is bringing some good 

 dahlias, the best ones being Mina Bur- 

 gle and Delice. 



C. B. Knickman, with McHutchison 

 & Co., of New York, was in town for a 

 few days on his return from Japan.

The Market. 



Business conditions are merely hold- 

 ing their own for this time of year, but 

 a lively season is in prospect. The early 

 frosts made havoc with asters and gla- 

 dioli, killing practically all the outdoor 

 supply, but the early chrysanthemums 

 are coming in strongly and the demand 

 is taking up the supply closely. 



To the recent warm weather was due 

 an oversupply of roses last week, yet 

 the showing from the local growers is 

 satisfactory. Some fine violets are be- 

 ing shipped in from Montana. Carna- 

 tions are of better quality, although still 

 rather scarce. Cyclamens, primulas and 

 jwtted plants are making a good show- 

 ing for this time of year. 



Various Notes. 



A "Say It with Flowers" week is 

 planned for the latter part of October, 

 but definite arrangements have not yet 

 been completed. 



The Spokane Florist Co. reports good 

 September business, having had a num- 

 ber of wedding decorations, besides a 

 good everyday counter trade. It gave 

 over part of its store during the recent 

 election of Red Cross officials, which 

 brouglit many people into its shop that 

 day. 



Mr. Iledger, of the Davenport Flower 

 Shop, has had many compliments on his 

 showing of tritomas. The display 

 around the fountain in the Davenport 

 hotel lobby caused much comment from 

 hotel guests.
