The Florists^ Review

of most varieties is plentiful. While 

 the sale of chrysanthemums is none too 

 brisk, most other flowers are moving 

 well. Carnations are still in oversupply 

 and the ridiculously low prices that 

 have prevailed of late have a tendency 

 to decrease their use. Eoses are of 

 fine quality and meet the popular de- 

 mand. Quantities of Paper Whites are 

 now offered, but the prices at which 

 they are sold do not give much encour- 

 agement to the growers. Bulbs for 

 outside planting have been selling bet- 

 ter than usual this season and such 

 sales are advantageous to the trade, 

 as they relieve the congestion of forced 

 flowers that usually comes in the spring. 



Various Notes. 



Chris. Jodhimsen returned home No- 

 vember 16 from the Seattle General 

 hospital after an operation. 



The florists are having great bouts 

 at the bowling alleys now. Ealph 

 Richardson contends he is the champion 

 at duck pins, but Buxton and Tomlin 

 dispute his claims and the allies look 

 like winning. 



The heavy wind storm of November 

 12 caused some damage to most of the 

 greenhouses, and repairs were in order 

 last week. T. W.

The Market. 



A few light frosts have helped the 

 situation by hurting the outdoor flow- 

 ers. Cooler weather has retarded the 

 blooming of the carnations and mums, 

 so that fairly normal conditions pre- 

 vail. Some excellent mums are to be 

 seen. Among the varieties most favored 

 are Eaton and Yellow Eaton, W, H. 

 Chadwick and Golden Chadwick, Maud 

 Dean, Golden Eagle and Mrs. Jerome 

 Jones. Among the pompons, Mrs. Frank 

 Beu and Klondyke are most popular. 

 The pompous seem still to be the favor- 

 ites. Roses remain normal in supply, 

 with a fair demand. The best now 

 seen are Mrs. Geo. Shawyer, Richmond, 

 Mrs. Aaron Ward, Milady, Ophelia and 

 Killarney. Violets are not so plentiful 

 and the California-grown stock predom- 

 inates. 



The demand for palms, ferns and dec- 

 orative plants has slacked up a little 

 and the trade in blooming plants has 

 increased. Cyclamen, Primula obconica, 

 potted mums and Lorraine and Cincin- 

 nati begonias are seen everywhere. 

 Oregon rose stock is now being lifted 

 at the nurseries. 



Club MeetiniT- 



The regular meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society was held November 17 

 and was well attended. The main dis- 

 cussion arose over the question of the 

 part the club should take in prepar- 

 ing special and permanent exhibits of 

 flowers on the streets and in the win- 

 dow boxes of business houses. The 

 committee that had the matter in hand 

 reported that it had interviewed the 

 manager of this part of the rose fes 

 tival and that he wanted definite in- 

 formation as to just what the club 

 would do. The expressions of approval 

 of the proposed plan showed that the 

 members were ready to do something 

 special to beautify the city and the 

 fommittee can now make a favorable 

 report to the rose festival managers. 



It was reported that the present Ore- 

 yon laws do not permit the removal of 

 shrubs or plants, once set in the ground,
