The Florists' Review 



July IT, 1913. 



is one of our most popular growers and 

 everyone present was enthusiastic to 

 think his popularity should be so fit- 

 tingly recognized. 



Sidney Tomlin has taken a lease of 

 the Gash place at Greenlake, where he 

 purposes to grow carnations. All in the 

 trade wish him well in his new venture. 



The wind on the afternoon of July 6 

 was remarkable for this region and did 

 considerable damage, especially around 

 Madison park where it assumed the 

 violence of a small cyclone. C. Hoff- 

 meister was the worst sufferer; about 

 a thousand lights were destroyed at his 

 plant. Carl Melby was also in the line 

 of it, but his loss was not so heavy. 



One Jiew member was initiated at the 

 monthly meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 July 8. ffhe attendance was not quite 

 so heavy as usual, but, considering the 

 time of year, this is not surprising. 

 Arrangements are in progress to hold 

 the annual picnic about September 15.

The Market. 



Business is quiet in every line, with 

 only an occasional funeral or social af- 

 fair to break the monotony. Vacations 

 are the usual topic of conversation. 

 There is plenty of stock to supply all 

 the needs. Carnations are holding out 

 nicely. Roses are poor, with the excep- 

 tion of Carnots and Kaiserins. There 

 a^ a few Hillingdons and Sunburkta 

 from the new stock. Sunl;.:rst will be 

 grown more extensively thij season, be- 

 ing popular among the elite. Outside 

 stock is overplentif ul. Sweet peas have 

 been arriving in such a deluge that 

 there seems to be no standard wholesale 

 price. Auratum lilies are of good qual- 

 ity and are ready sellers. There is a 

 general scarcity of blooming plants, 

 gloxinias and hydrangeas being the 

 only ones available. Valley seems to 

 be plentiful enough to supply the local 

 demand. 



The greenhouses are the places of 

 greatest activity, on account of the 

 transplanting of the rose and carna- 

 tion stock and the cleaning up of the 

 houses in general. The mums are look- 

 ing fine and are well established. 



Various Notes. 



Frank McCabe, tepresenting tlTe A. L. 

 Randall Co., Chicago, was in town last 

 week, on his initial trip. He has the 

 pleasing personality which is a valued 

 asset in' salesmanship. 



William Zimmerman is on the list of 

 the "newly weds." 



William Dorsch recently made a set- 

 tlement for $12,000 with the Oregon 

 Electric Co., whose road is to be built 

 across his ranch, taking about four 

 acres in all. It was necessary to re- 

 move several outbuildings to make 

 room for the right of way. 



Sam Roake, Jr., is also listed in the 

 benedict class. 



Herbert & Fleishauer, of McMinn- 

 ville, recently sunk a well to a depth 

 of 451 feet. Water was -struck at forty- 

 five feet, but the depth was increased 

 in order to get a greater flow. How- 

 ever, no moisture was found lower than 

 150 feet. 



J. L. Fletcher, of Hood RivtSr, was 

 here looking for mum stock. E. R. C.
