has created a strong demand for vege- 

 table seeds and plants. Unfavorable 

 vs^eather caused many of the early-sown 

 seeds to rot, and there has lately been 

 a lively scramble for plants to take 

 their place. The movement of bedding 

 stock is brisk and some growers hope 

 to clean up, though it seems hardly 

 possible that they can do so at this late 

 date. 



Nurserymen report that they have 

 had a good season, with a reduced num- 

 ber of sales, but with an increase in the 

 average amount of each sale. The small 

 buyer for a moderate home has not spent 

 much money for ornamentals this year. 



Various Notes. 



H. J. Millatt, who recently under- 

 went a serious operation, is home again 

 and gaining strength rapidly. It will 

 be several weeks before he can return 

 to his position in the Clarke Bros, store. 



The June meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society will be held Tuesday eve- 

 ning, June 19, when the annual election 

 of officers will be held. 



Julius Brotje is bringing in pond 

 lilies and some beautiful pink poppies. 



Seeley Pomeroy, who has held a po- 

 sition in the store of the Tonseth Floral 

 Co. for six years, is now with Clarke 

 Bros. 



' ' Business as usual, " is a motto 

 which the florists should use as often 

 as possible. S. W. W. 



DANDELIONS IN LAWNS. 



Please tell me how to kill dandelions 

 in a lawn. C. E. S. — Wash. 



After trying all varieties of weed 

 killers, lawn sand and other advertised 

 mixtures, as well as injecting acids 

 into the crowns of the plants, I long 

 ago came to the conclusion that the 

 only real remedy for dandelions was 

 to dig tliem out, with their roots any- 

 where from eight to eighteen inches 

 in length, using a sjiading fork for 

 the purpose. You can cut the tops off 

 with knives, even taking out four to 

 five inches of root, but it will only 

 give temporary relief, as the remain- 

 ing portion of the root will send up 

 new growths before long. By picking 

 off the flowers and preventing the 

 plants from going to seed, you can, in 

 a great measure, reduce the daaide- 

 lion nuisance, especially if your neigh- 

 bors will do likewise.

Berkeley, Cal. — If there is anything 

 in names, the newly-born florists' busi- 

 ness of R. E. Newman ought to attain 

 success speedily, for the Newman store 

 is not only situated on Telegraph av- 

 enue, but also on the corner of Haste 

 street! 



Aberdeen, Wash. — Crammatte is one 

 of those astute gentlemen who combine 

 the sale of confections and flowers. The 

 store is known as ' ' The Home of the 

 Big Soda Fountain," but a cut flower 

 business is done tliat would be a credit 

 to any city of the size. 



Olympia, Wash. — According to a rul- 

 ing made in an opinion by the attorney 

 general, florists are "nurserymen" 

 Avithin tlic meaning of the state law 

 and must take out licenses. The point 

 was raised by local florists, who refused 

 to pay the state fee, claiming that the 

 nearest thing to a shrub they grew was 

 the geranium. 



Increase 

 Your Profits 



Stop the losses from withered 

 flowers due to lack of preservation. 

 If you could sell all the blossoms 

 that now wither in stock and are 

 thrown away, think how much you 

 could increase your profits. 



You can do just that with a 



Florist 



Refrigerator 



The McCray patented system of 

 refrigeration maintains a cool, even 

 temperature and keeps your flowers 

 always fresh and salable. Your 

 losses from withered stock are done 

 away with. 



The McCray is handsome, too, 

 and its plate glass doors and sides 

 display your flowers in the most 

 attractive way. 



The woodwork may be had in 

 any finish to match your store's in- 

 terior decoration. The linings may 

 be either heavy plate mirror or 

 white enamel as you desire.
