The Florists^ Review 



JULi- 6. 1922 



rious members of the three organiza- 

 tions. Thursday, June 22, the visitors 

 were shown the different establish- 

 ments, and Friday they were taken 

 driving on our wonderful liighway and 

 served with a fine dinner at the Colum- 

 bia Gorge hotel. They were n>ore than 

 pleased with the entertainment and hos- 

 pitality shown them by the Portland 

 florists. 



The rose show held at the armory 

 June 20 and 21 for the benefit of the 

 general public was fully up to the 

 standard, in spite of the weather condi- 

 tions which prevailed during the month 

 of June. The Seattle Rose Society had 

 a fine collection of blooms and won sev- 

 eral prizes. 



Club Meeting. 



The Oregon Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting at the K. P. hall June 

 27. Many matters were discussed and 

 dealt with by the society. A. J. Steele 

 gave an interesting talk on his recent 

 trip. He had found a general improve- 

 ment in business conditions through the 

 east and middle west. Mr. Steele vis- 

 ited some of the largest seed and green- 

 house establishments and had the op- 

 portunity of calling at the White House 

 and shaking hands with President ■ 

 Harding. 



The following officers were elected for 

 the ensuing year: President, G. M. 

 Pilkington; vice-president, H. Niklas; 

 secretary, F. A. Van Kirk; treasurer, H. 

 Birchler; trustees, E. Cranfort, F. M. 

 Young and L. W. Scott. Light re- 

 freshments were served after adjourn- 

 ment. N. V. H.

The Market. 



There was a generally quiet business 

 last week, with the stock situation un- 

 changed. There has been a great in- 

 crease in the cut of roses, and this has 

 served to create almost an oversupply, 

 since the homo giirdens are also pro- 

 ducing these flowers in profusion at the 

 present time, and there is little more 

 than a transient demand for the stock. 

 Water lilies are selling well and arc 

 proving about the most attractive 

 single offering in the local market. They 

 are being used extensively for window 

 decorations. 



The cut of carnations has shown an 

 increase, but the weather conditions 

 have affected the keeping qualities of 

 the current deliveries, so that there is 

 still something left to be desired. 

 Potted offerings are slow movers at 

 present, this being especially true of 

 ferns. 



Various Notes. 



Felix Rosaia was one of the Seattle 

 florists to attend the Portland rose 

 festival, and he reports royal entertain- 

 ment from the trade there. It is said 

 that the Portland men vied with each 

 other to see who could extend the most 

 hospitality to their visitors. 



The Hollywood gardens are receiving 

 some fine roses from the greenhouses, 

 and have been using these in connection 

 with a group of other summer flowers 

 for window displays. A number of 

 wedding decorations have been handled 

 by this shop during the last week, sum- 

 mer flowers predominating in the dec- 

 orative effects achieved. Samuel Dun- 

 lap represented this shop in the group 

 that attended the Portland festival.
