Portland, Ore.— W., G. Wood has ob- 

 tained a permit to erect a greenhouse 

 on Lombard street, between Dwight 

 and Woolsey, to cost $450. He is to do 

 the Work himself. 



San Jose, CaL — A. & E. Schlaudt, 

 who for twenty-five years have con- 

 ducted a florists' and nursery business 

 at 638-44 North Second street and a 

 store at 144 South Second street for a 

 year and a half, have moved the store 

 to 119 South Second street. G. V. 

 Hiam is buyer and manager at the 

 store. Mr. and Mrs. Schlaudt will 

 devote their time to the uptown place, 

 where their son, C. E. Schlaudt, is in 

 charge of the nursery. 



Eugene, Ore. — George Israelson, man- 

 age* of the Eugene Floral Co., has 

 taken in as partner W. C. Kaber, for 

 twenty-three years connected with the 

 Kaber Co., of La Porte, Ind. Mr. Kaber 

 is an expert grower, and will take 

 charge of the growing, while Mr. Israel- 

 son will devote more of his time to the 

 selling. Since taking over the Eugene 

 Carnation Farm two years ago, Mr. 

 Israelson has more than doubled the 

 glass area. He got in touch with Mr. 

 Kaber, he says, through a classified ad 

 in The Eeview. 



BOSES IN OBEOON. 



We have 200 rope bushes that we are 

 going to plant outdpors next jspring. 

 • We would like to takift them ouv of the 

 benches right after January 1. How 

 shall we go about itt Should they be 

 dried down before lifting and where 

 can we put them until planting-out 

 ;timef L. G. 8. & F. C. 



It will be a good idea to dry oflE the 

 roses somewhat before lifting. You can 

 store them on the floor of a cold cel- 

 lar, with the roots packed in damp 

 'earth, or heel them in a coldframe, 

 covering the tops with dry leaves, pine 

 needles or some other light material, 

 placing the sashes over these. If you 

 cannot spare a cellar or frame, open 

 . a trench outside on a piece of land 

 which will not hold water and bury the 

 plants completely. Let the crust freeze 

 over, then give the surface a mulch of 

 some kind. They will carry over per- 

 fectly well treated thus in your Oregon 

 climate. C. W.

up baskets were a little heavy and 

 crowded, but others were much better. 

 We are still a little weak^ in the basket 

 line here, judged by eastern standards, 

 and it seems a pity that this exceed- 

 ingly remunerative branch of the busi- 

 ness is not followed up more. It'^is 

 too early yet to say how the retailers 

 fared with their plants, tmt the grow- 

 ers all sold out in good shape. > 



Various Notes. 



The annual banquet of the Germain 

 Improvement Association, consisting of 

 the male employees of the Germain 

 Seed & Plant Co., was held at the 

 Hay ward hotel cafe. December 19. .-A 

 royal time was had by everyone, incl\^d- 

 ing an elegant course dinner and music 

 by the cabaret performers at the cafe 

 and some of the association members. 

 The slogan of the firm, "Germain's 

 Seeds Germinate," was worked outrin 

 red carnations and the tables and room 

 were tastefully decorated with plants 

 and cut flowers by the nursery depart- 

 ment. The same evening the female 

 employees of the house were the guests 

 of the association at the theater. 



The Huntington Beach Nursery hit 

 the Christmas market just right with a 

 fine lot of Jerusalem cherries, which 

 sold readily. Geo. W. Wardwell^ of 

 this establishment, makes a specialty 

 of ferns, palms and araucarias, anT'his 

 stock is in fine shape now.

 is going to be a busy month horticul- 

 turally in San Francisco. The Pacific 

 Coast Association of Nurserymen holds 

 its thirteenth annual convention August 

 12 to 14, the fifth" convention of the 

 California Association of Nurserymen 

 gbeing held at the same time. Then 

 "comes the S. A. F. convention, Au^st 



The Market 



Everything points to a particularly 

 good holiday business. .There is plenty 

 of good stock, the weather is all thaC 

 could be desired and the town is full 

 of visitors. The recent rains have set- 

 tled the question of early plowing and 

 seeding and, for the present, warded 

 off any d^ng^r. of frost; so the agri- 

 cultural and fruit elements will be in- 

 clined to spend money freely. Whole- 

 salers reported all choice available 

 stock cleared up early on Thursday and 

 inquiries from outside kept coming. 



The retail stores were late in mak- 

 ing their displays, but at the last 

 they came out with elegant show- 

 ings along all lines. Some of the made- 



17 'to 20. Vice-preaident-ele«t J>. Mac- 

 Borie, of the national organization, has 

 already "^hired two halls for the exhibits, 

 each with a floor space of 8,60Q feet, 

 and is after a third. There are rumors 

 of a big "something doing^* fun4> by 

 which thtf visitors will;b«'seat '*^down 

 the line" at a clip somewhere around 

 the speed limit. Should the American 

 Pomologic;i4 Society jsee^fit to join the 

 crowdj there will surely be a historical 

 time. ;Mr,. MacBorie has a big thing 

 in hand, ^ut he is a big man in more 

 ways than one, and is to be depended 

 on to show, all a gorgeouis time. His 

 fellow conspirator and arch-fiend of a 

 booster, H. W. Kruckeberg, is to act 

 as pilot to the crowd en route to Los 

 Angeles after the Bay City festivities; 

 then San. Piego, Panama, ^r.j^wheiever 

 thQy wish to finish. j '-■ .o- : ■. 



The Eedondo Floral Co. is An old 

 name in Los° Angeles and the store is 

 keeping up its reputation. There was 

 a splendid show of plants. here for the 

 Christmas trade, and both A. F. Borden 

 and Albert Knopf expressed themselves 

 as more than pleased with tlie business 

 done and in prospect.
