The Florists' Review 



Mabch 11, 191C. 



speaker of the evening was W. W. Pel- 

 gate, who descanted on the culture of 

 the fine vegetables he grows so well. 

 There was a large and appreciative au- 

 dience and Mr. Felgate gave a most 

 interesting and instructive lecture, not 

 dealing in generalities, but getting 

 down to "brass tacks" on certain of 

 the most important vegetable crops and 

 giving a resume of their culture. There 

 is never a dull minute when "Billy" 

 is speaking and he drives home his 

 points hard. Well executed cuts of 

 vegetables were used and Mr. Felgate 

 also exhibited some fine specimens of 

 his skill. A rising vote of thanks was 

 ^ven at the conclusion and there was 

 an animated discussion. Secretary Hal 

 Kruckeberg had run off some fine an- 

 ifouncements of the meeting, which 

 were well displayed in the principal 

 seed stores. 



At Wolters' Flower Shop, on Hill 

 street, the windows are always attrac- 

 tive and they are especially so this 

 week, with a nice display of flowering 

 peaches, quinces and other shrubs. 



Smith & Dieterich have been show- 

 ing a splendid line of Japanese azaleas, 

 which make an effective display. The 

 plants carried over at the Montebello 

 nursery are particularly good. 



Polder & Groen report an excellent 

 -demand for the new Philadelphia car- 

 nation. K. Groen is suffering from a 

 rather bad case of blood poisoning in 

 "his hand and arm, the result of pierc- 

 ing his hand with a rusty nail. 



The main sowing of the new sweet 

 peas at the trial grounds of the Ger- 

 main Seed & Plant Co. has been de- 

 layed by rain and many have had to 

 be sown in pots and transplanted. A 

 grand new variety of white stocks of 

 the dwarf Brompton type is extra fine 

 here, owing to its dwarf habit, free- 

 dom of flowering and large percentage 

 of double flowers. H. R. Eichards. 



PORTIAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business continues satisfactory to the 

 florists. With the arrival of spring, the 

 nurserymen and seedsmen are occupied 

 by a rush which exceeds their expecta- 

 tions. 



The supply of cut flowers has in- 

 creased and now balances the demand. 

 Home-grown roses and violets are com- 

 ing in more freely. California violets 

 are depreciating in quality rapidly, and 

 will be off the market before long. The 

 cooler grown freesias and tulips are 

 now shown, and their quality appears 

 better than that of the earlier, harder 

 forced stock. Cinerarias are prime and 

 many good displays of them may be 

 »een. 



Various Notes.

 its next meeting Tuesday, March 16,

 plants which he selected from a lot 

 shipped from the east, he has developed
