The Florists^ Review 



June 26, 1914. 



large funerals again last week, which 

 cleaned up considerable stock. 



Bose Society's Show. 



The first show of the Pacific North- 

 west Bose Society was held June 13 

 and 14, under canvas on a lawn adjoin- 

 ing the Henry building, on Fourth ave- 

 nue. The competition for prizes was 

 mostly confined to amateurs and many 

 notable stands of roses were exhibited 

 by them, the competition in most in- 

 stances being keen. The sweepstake 

 Srizes were won by fine specimens of 

 [elanie Soupert and Jonkheer J. L. 

 Mock. Mr. Balmer, of Cle Elum, Mr. 

 Sherbrook, of Portland, Ore., and Mr. 

 Tucker, of Portland, were the judges. 



Among the trade representatives was 

 J. J. Bonnell, who secured first prizes 

 for the nurserymen's exhibit and for 

 roses, the Seattle Landscape & Nursery 

 Co. being second in each instance. The 

 Seattle Floral Co. gained first award for 

 greenhouse plants; the Burdett Co., sec- 

 ond. Eosaia Bros, put up a notable ex- 

 hibit, an Italian pergola draped with 

 asparagus and orchids, for which they 

 received first honors and a silver cup. 

 Thomas Wylie carried off the premium 

 for hardy perennials. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Gill, of Oakland, Cal., and Mr. 

 Howard, of Los Angeles, both rose 

 growers, were in town last week in the 

 interests of their respective establish- 

 ments. 



Mr. Eowe, sales manager for Mrs. 

 L. W. McCoy, was the sole representa- 

 tive • of the Seattle trade who visited 

 Portland for the rose show. He reports 

 a good time and generous hospitality 

 from the florists in the Eose City.

The Market. 



Aside from commencement exercises 

 and an occasional funeral, there is prac- 

 tically nothing doing in the stores. 

 Business dropped off unusually early this 

 year, owing to the advanced season to 

 a great measure. Carnations are plenti- 

 ful, but will be so only for a short time, 

 as the benches are rapidly being cleared 

 to make way for the new plants, which 

 will bu planrod as early as possible. Pe- 

 culiar wouthcr conditions mako it ad- 

 visable to remove the plants from the 

 field at the earliest date possible. Eoses 

 are still plentiful, but badly injured by 

 mildew, with the exception of Hilling- 

 don, which seems to be entirely immune. 

 Orchids are scarce, while valley is pJeu- 

 tiful enough to supply the demaud for 

 June weddings. Delphiniums, gaillar- 

 dias, Canterbury bells and coreopsis are 

 in abundance. 



Various Notes. 



The Holden Floral Co. is cutting a 

 fine lot of America gladioli, which are 

 quickly snapped up by the trade. 



J. E. Fuestner, representing the Pine 

 Tree Silk Mills, Philadelphia, was call- 

 ing on the trade last week. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held Tuesday evening, June 

 16, in the Masonic Temple. The regu- 

 lar routine business was transacted, in 

 addition to the election of oflBcers. 

 Those elected were: President, F. A. 

 Vac Kirk; vice-president, S. W. Wal- 

 ters; treasurer, E. J. Steele; secretary, 

 Hans Niklas; trustees, D. Boutledge, J. 

 Bi'Pilkisstaa «nd H. Eahn.
