The Florists' Review 



May 14, 1914. 



eries helping out materially in this way. 

 Several good weddings have helped out 

 the business here. 



Two florists have gone out of business 

 this week, the Oviate Flower Shop, on 

 Pico street, and F. Wing, of West Fifth 

 street. 



H. W. Turner reports big shipments of 

 rose plants to the east, his large stocks 

 of Arenberg and other novelties being 

 heavily drawn on. H. E. Bichards.

The Market. 



We are just betwixt and between sea- 

 sons. Consequently, there is little do- 

 ing. The cold weather which closely 

 followed Easter has steadily prevailed, 

 with only a few days' exception last 

 week, when it warmed up almost to an 

 uncomfortable degree. Florists are all 

 looking forward to, and preparing for, 

 a big rush during the last two weeks of 

 May, which will be more strenuous than 

 usual because of spring planting having 

 been held up by the cold weather. What 

 spring stock comes into the market is 

 of good quality generally, and in the 

 matter of quantity the growers seem to 

 have the market correctly gauged. In 

 cut flowers, roses, carnations, sweet peas, 

 snapdragon, Spanish iris and mignon- 

 ette are about the whole of the local 

 supply. Bulbous stock is about through, 

 although a few growers are still cut- 

 ting some fine tulips. Von Sion and 

 Golden Spur, which were a glut a week 

 ago, are not now to be seen. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Koch has just about completeci 

 the planting of five houses of cucumbers 

 for June marketing. The old gentleman, 

 who is 70 years of age, lost his wife 

 about three months ago and, it is under- 

 stood, wishes to retire from active work. 



Peters Bros, have a crop of fine cu- 

 cumbers. They are planning the erec 

 tion of several houses this summer. 



Olsson & Benson, whose partnership 

 operations began May 1, are sending in 

 some of the finest pink snapdragon seen 

 this season. 



Mrs. L. E. Thornburgh, who for some 

 time has conducted a store at Hillyard, 

 a Spokane suburb, has opened a com- 

 bined flower shop and confectionery on 

 Post street. She has installed a new 

 refrigerator, which is cooled by arti- 

 ficial means, a refrigerating plant in a 

 grocery and meat market next door sup- 

 plying her. 



M. Lehman, formerly in the employ 

 of the Brown Floral Co., Canton, O., is 

 now with Hoyt Bros., on Post street. 



Eecent visitors were Mr. and Mrs. 

 W. S. Van Doren, Post FaUs, Idaho; Mr. 

 and Mrs. Adolph Donart, Coeur d 'Alenc, 

 Idaho, and Geo. Schimmel, of the Knapp 

 Co., Inc., New York. L. B. H. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The weather is extremely mild, and 

 business is in much the same condition. 

 With a decrease in the number of social 

 affairs, the demand for flowers has ma- 

 terially diminished, and aside from fu- 

 nerals and an occasional wedding, there 

 is little demand. The market is over- 

 crowded with flowers, especially roses; 

 the warm days brought on the crop 

 rapidly. There now is the largest cut 

 of Beauties that has been seen for 

 years, and they go mostly for window 

 displays. Carnations, while not so plenti-
