now well stocked with these goods. 

 "While the company will concentrate on 

 this kind of business in the future, it 

 will continue to handle cut flowers the 

 same as usual. 



Mrs. Copeland did well Memorial day 

 and has been busy with commencement 

 And graduation work, mostly baskets 

 and bouquets. June 1 she had a large 

 wedding decoration, which will be fol- 

 lowed by others in rapid succession 

 daring the remainder of the month. 

 Mrs. Copeland is still receiving compli- 

 ments on her handling of the foreign 

 trade convention banquet decoration. 

 It has been directly instrumental in 

 bringing her some other nice decora- 

 tions. 



David Lichtenstein, Terminal Florist, 

 did a big Memorial day business and 

 reports trade holding up as well as can 

 be expected for June. 



Cohen & Figone, in the Ferry build- 

 ing, supplied a big demand for flowers 

 to people leaving town for the Memo- 

 rial day week-end. 



P. V. Matraia, of the Art Floral Co., 

 says that wedding decorations are the 

 principal activity this month. 



Enomoto & Co. report fine business 

 all through the month of May, with no 

 grievance if shipping does drop off ma- 

 terially for the next month or two. 

 They consider the outlook splendid for 

 a fine season with both asters and chrys- 

 anthemums. 



C. Kooyman says that business is 

 settling down to the usual summer lull, 

 but that it is some consolation that 

 florists in this vicinity, as a whole, 

 have done well during the first part of 

 the year. M. M.

The Market. 



The largest and the best Memorial 

 day business that has ever been listed, 

 was the report of the trade. Big ship- 

 ments of California flowers were neces- 

 sary to take care of the holiday trade 

 and all the stock that local and Port- 

 land growers could deliver was handled 

 in nice ehape. The spring flowers were 

 brisk sellers, leading roses and other 

 annuals. Early Monday morning. May 

 31, saw practically every house cleaned 

 up on carnations. Potted plants for 

 cemetery decorations were big sellers. 

 Petunias, begonias and calceolarias 

 probably were the heaviest sellers. 

 Potted lily of the valley was sold read- 

 ily to the buyers of higher-priced 



California Flowers and Greens 



of all kinds are being used generally 

 by Eastern Florists.
