JULY 24, 1913. 



The Horists' Review 



55 



gtoiv open and there is a fine workroom 

 in tlie rear, as well as a spacious base- 

 ment. 



The H. N. Gage Co. reports business 

 good. Always trying to be up-to-date, 

 Mr. Gage, since the frost last spring, 

 has made arrangements to grow part, at 

 jeast, of his asparagus seed under glass, 

 to insure being able to supply the trade. 



Still another nursery at Montebello. 

 This time the Figueroa Street Nursery, 

 forci il out of its city location, has 

 bou^lit five acres near the foothills. 



M. Meyberg and Marc Germain, of 

 the Cermain Seed & Plant Co., returned 

 from a business trip to San Diego last 

 week and Mr. Meyberg left for the 

 north July 16. 



F. Borden, of the Eedondo Floral Co., 

 reports business good, so good that Mr. 

 Knopf, calling at the store in the inter- 

 vals of automobiling, is pressed into 

 service and kept at it until he sees the 

 chance for a get-away. 



Tom Wright is still busy with his 

 alarm device, which he has now brought 

 to what appears to be absolute perfec- 

 tion. Already prominent insurance com- 

 panies are interested in it and indica- 

 tions are that it will be given a high 

 rating. Mr. Wright intends exhibiting 

 it at the S. A. F. convention at Minne- 

 apolis, where greenhouse men will have 

 an opportunity of seeing it. 



H. R. Bichards. 



The park commission has received the 

 opinion of the city attorney that it has 

 the power to carry out its plans of 

 erecting flower stands at Central park 

 and leasing them to private individuals. 

 The stands are to be at the four en- 

 trances to the park and of such a char- 

 acter as to add to the decoration. The 

 first will be built as an experiment at 

 Fifth and Hill streets. H. G. Wright 

 has made application to lease the stands 

 from the city. 



PORTLAND, OBE. 



The Market. 



Business is quiet all along the line, 

 but nothing else is expected when sum- 

 mer conditions prevail. Stock is hold- 

 ing out well, especially carnations, and 

 the supply, on the whole, is just about 

 suflBcient to take care of the local de- 

 mand. Roses are not overplentiful, 

 Kaiserins have proved to be good sell- 

 ers. The quality of the roses is up to 

 standard, except that the foliage is 

 badly injured by mildew. Sweet peas 

 are abundant and are the best selling 

 flowers in the market. Coreopsis, gail- 

 lardias and helianthus are overplentiful. 

 Orchids and valley are scarce; the few 

 left-over June brides are creating a 

 'lemand in that line. 



Various Notes.
