The Florists' Review 



Decbuber 24, 1914. 



ness coming his way so far, and says 

 it is away beyond that of last year at 

 this time. He has secured the exclusive 

 sales right of plants of the new White 

 Fair Maid carnation, which has been 

 80 popular this season. 



Wright's Flower Shop reports good 

 inquiries for holiday trade, and the 

 stock coming in from the Gardena range 

 is excellent. Richmond and Prima 

 Bonna roses are especially good, and 

 the plant stock is perfect. 



H. W. Turner will have a fine cut of 

 roses for Christmas, but he says there 

 will not be enough to meet all demands. 

 Big loads are sent in daily to the city 

 besides the out-of-town shipments, 

 which are heavy. 



Victor Clemence, of the Clemence 

 Nurseries, Pasadena, reports business 

 good. He has a nice stock, much more 

 varied than that of the majority of 

 nurseries here, and it is always clean 

 and healthy. H. R. Richards. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The weather bureau reports this the 

 coldest December since 1909. Abundant 

 quantities of Christmas stock are in 

 sight, except mums, violets and possi- 

 bly carnations. California crops of vio- 

 lets have been damaged by inclement 

 weather and dealers here do not ex- 



fect to get their orders filled in full, 

 t is probable that the cut flowers will 

 all be disposed of early in the rush 

 and then potted stock, greens and 

 cured materials will be substituted. The 

 holly and mistletoe are of excellent 

 quality, better than usual. Prices on 

 greens are a little lower than last year, 

 but cut flowers and potted stock com- 

 mand about the uanal figures. 



Club's Ladies' Night. 



The first ladies' night in the history 

 of the Portland Florists' Society took 

 the place of ' the regular meeting De- 

 cember 15. Members, with their fam- 

 ilies, employees and invited guests, at- 

 tended, making the largest gathering 

 the club has ever brought together. A 

 brief business session to 'dispose of 

 routine matters was held in the regu- 

 lar meeting rooms in Masonic Temple 

 early in the evening and then all hands 

 gathered in the large social hall on 

 the same floor of the building. After 

 a short time devoted to introductions. 

 President Van Kirk announced the 

 opening number on the entertainment 

 program, a piano duet by Misses Coral 

 Van Kirk and Christine Forbes. Next 

 came a song by the Austro-Hungarian 

 Male Choral Club of twenty-two voices, 

 composed partly of Portland Florists' 

 Society's members, followed by a 

 Shakespearean dialogue by E. A. Shep- 

 herd and J. E. Hitchcock. The surprise 

 of the evening was then announced, a 

 selection by the Portland Florists' So- 

 ciety orchestra of five pieces. This was 

 the first appearance in public of this 

 musical organization. Another song by 

 the male chorus completed the program. 

 All numbers were heartily enjoyed and 

 the performers responded to the ap- 

 plause with encores. A spread in the 

 banquet hall, music and dancing, cards 

 and social chats closed the evening. 

 The whole affair was pronounced a 

 grand success and ladies' night is likely 

 to become a regular event in the so- 

 ciety, -to UC6U1 annually o r o ft ene r .
