The Florists' Review 



January 14, 1916. 



Portland Floral Society will be held on 

 Tuesday evening, January 19, at the 

 Masonic Temple. I 



The holiday display of the Floral 

 Studio, at the branch store, attracted 

 considerable attention. The wreaths, 

 baskets and decorations displayed 

 were made principally of native mate- 

 rials and were of unique design. The 

 firm reports that a good business is 

 being done. 



C. C. Ruenitz has some well grown 

 foliage begonias in several varieties at 

 bis store in the Masonic Temple. 



During the cold spell in December 

 some damage occurred to plants while 

 being hauled about the city. S. Lub- 

 liner reports that a load of kentias 

 was considerably injured while being 

 transferred a few blocks; 



Max M. Smith grew a large lot of 

 excellent cyclamens and has given 

 them prominence in his fall and win- 

 ter displays. He says they have sold 

 well. 



Clark & Breeze report a fine holiday 

 business at their new store. 



S. B. Hendee has closed the store 

 which he opened in the Filers build- 

 ing in the fall. He found conditions 

 at his location in the lobby unsuitable 

 for a flower store. 



Clarke Bros, have a pair of excep- 

 tionally fine Cocos Weddelliana in their 

 window display. The palms are about 

 five feet high, perfect in form and 

 without a blemish. 



Niklas & Son have been shipping 

 some good-sized orders to interior 

 points. They have had a large sup- 

 ply of valley, grown at the range of 

 Rahn & Herbert, at Clackamas. 



A. F. Lalane is showing some good 

 begonias of the Lorraine type at his 

 store in the Orpheum theater building. 

 They were grown by the Holden Floral 

 Co. 



The first pussy willows are appear- 

 ing in some of the store windows. 



The People's Floral Shop is selling 

 some excellent small-sized Cincinnati 

 begonias, which were grown by Aug. 

 Zittewics. 



The flowers offered for sale at the 

 public market appear to be of low 

 giade and but few of them are sold 

 there. So long as the regular flower 

 market will take all offerings of sal- 

 able stock, there is no strong induce- 

 ment for growers to take the time and 

 trouble to retail their flowers.

The Market. 



Business has been a little dull. 

 However, there has been a shortage of 

 stock in cut flowers, so that prices 

 have been well maintained. Carnations 

 are in demand, there being an unusual 

 scarcity for this time of year, and con- 

 siderable of the flowers coming in are 

 weak-stemmed and lacking in keeping 

 qualities. Good Maud Dean chrysan- 

 themums are still on the market, but 

 the season for them is past and they 

 are not often asked for. Roses are 

 scarce and almost entirely of southern 

 origin. Paper Whites and Romans are 

 being cleaned up fast, taking the place 

 of other flowers. Violets are of bet- 

 ter quality than they have been; con- 

 sequently more are being used. Callas 

 are now fairly plentiful and the de- 

 niiiiid is good. Some fine plants of 

 malacoides are selling well.
