STEELE'S PANSY GARDENS, Portland, Ore. 



son-Crout-Gehr Co. and Kahn & Herbert. 

 Numerous smaller exhibits were also 

 noted. 



Amateurs exhibited in a separate 

 class and some line roses were to be 

 seen. The first prize for a basket of 

 roses was won with the variety Mrs. 

 E. G. Hill. The finest bloom in the 

 show was a speeimem of William K. 

 Smith. 



A new seedling climbing rose, pro- 

 'luced by Dr. "Walter Van Fleet, Wash- 

 ington, D. C. and being tested in the 

 I'ortland gardens of the American Rose 

 Society, was named and christened in 

 appropriate exercises one afternoon. 

 The new rose will be known as Miss 

 Mary Wallace and is named after the 

 daughter of the present secretary of 

 agriculture at Washington. Dr. Van 

 Fleet has been awarded the City of 

 Portland gold medal for this new climb- 

 ing rose. Hugh Dickson, of Belfast, 

 Ireland, was awarded the City of Port- 

 land gold medal for Golden Spray as 

 the best, new bush, variety. Howard 



& Smith, of Los Angeles, received a 

 silver medal as second prize for their 

 new variety, Wm. F. Dreer. 



The tioral parade provided a large 

 amount of work for all the local florists. 

 Everyone had all he could possibly do. 

 The Tonseth Floral Co. decorated the 

 queen's float, which was provided by the 

 Chamber of Commerce. The grand prize 

 of $500 went to a car decorated by 

 Clarke Bros. Other cars, done by 

 Smith's Flower Shop, Lubliner, Clarke 

 Bros, and Martin & Forbes, were among 

 the prize winners. The Van Kirk Flo- 

 ral Co. supplied the largest part of 

 the flowers used on the elaborate Pasa- 

 dena float in the floral parade. It was 

 designed and made by representatives 

 from Pasadena and received first prize 

 in its section. 



Various Notes. 



J. F. Ammann and H. V. Swenson 

 reached the city on the morning of Me- 

 morial day. They spent the day sight- 

 seeing under the guidance of James 



Forbes, J. B. Pilkington and E. J. 

 Steele. An automobile ride on the Co- 

 lumbia river highvfay occupied most of 

 the time, along with a chicken dinner at 

 Crown Point Chalet. On the following 

 evening there was a special meeting 

 of the Oregon Florists' Club, preceded 

 by a course dinner at the Imperial 

 hotel. Mr. Ammann and Mr. Swenson 

 made a splendid impression with their 

 talks on advertising, although, in the 

 case of Portland, it was not necessary 

 to organize an advertising fund, for 

 our club already had one. 



Henry Clemens, of Newberg, Ore., 

 supplied a great many sweet peas used 

 on automobiles in the floral parade. 



The Holden Floral Co. had a large 

 cut of Spanish iris the last two weeks. 

 This firm has repainted all its houses 

 this spring. 



Julius Schnapp has been supplying 

 considerable green goods and outdoor 

 flowers to local florists of late, also 

 cigars. Mr. Schnapp is easily the dean 

 of the local florists' craft.
