The Florists' Review 



Decrmbkr 3, 1914. 



Wilson-Crout Co., has opened a store in 

 Pendleton. 



P. Krouwel, representing bulb grow- 

 ers of Holland and France, was solicit- 

 ing orders from the trade last week. 



C. C. Buenitz, who has greenhouses 

 at Palatine Hill, has opened a flower 

 store at 382 Yamhill street, in the Ma- 

 sonic Temple building. 



The Floral Studio reports brisk sales 

 in the Toya berries, a shipment of 

 which was brought up from California. 



S. B. Hendee and Mrs. Hendee have 

 opened a new store in the lobby of the 

 Eilers building, 142 Broadway.

The Market. 



There seemed to be much doubt 

 among the retailers as to what was to 

 be expected for Thanksgiving day 

 business, but there is no doubt now 

 as to what they should have done. 

 Many were inclined to light buying, 

 with the result that they were short 

 of stock when the rush came. Chry- 

 santhemums sold well, the medium 

 grades having perhaps the greatest 

 call, although the fancy ones cleaned 

 up well. Pompons sold well, as they 

 have during the entire season. There 

 was not nearly enough to meet the de- 

 mand. Carnations are still slightly in 

 excess of the demand, but are going 

 off crop, and it looks as though there 

 would be a shortage for the Christmas 

 holidays. Paper Whites and Romans 

 have made their appearance and are 

 of good quality, with no great demand 

 at this early season. Potted stock in 

 bloom is still scarce, with a good call 

 for ferns and small palms. 



Various Notes.

The Market. 



Thauk.sgiving business hardly came 

 up to expectations, but, considering 

 everything, there was little reason to 

 complain. There seemed to be the 

 usual crowds of flower buyers, but the 

 sales were hardly so good as in former 

 years and the cheap grades of flowers 

 were in greatest demand. There was 

 a bountiful supply of chrysanthemums 

 of many varieties and the quality gen- 

 erally ruled high. As usual at this 

 season, chrysanthemums were the flow- 

 ers most asked for; consequently, 

 though the prices of mums were in 

 general lower than usual, they were 

 well cleaned up. Carnations, owing to 

 the recent slashing of prices, were not 

 much sought for and the usual price 

 of 75 cents was prevalent, though one 

 store had them placarded at 50 cents a 

 dozen. There were a few poinsettias in 

 some of the stores, but they were little 

 asked for. Roses are now at their best 

 and large quantities are being sold. 

 Valley is fairly plentiful and there are 

 the usual unlimited quantities of Cali- 

 fornia violets. 



In potted stock, some mum plants 

 sold well, but the greatest demand was 

 for cyclamens, of which there were 

 more than enough. Some cinerarias 

 were offered, but the keeping quality 

 of these plants at this season is none 

 too good and they are far from profit- 

 able to retailers. The fibrous begonias
