The Florists' Review 



71 



men have not closed their accounts of 

 spring sales yet, but report that they 

 expect the totals to compare favorably 

 with previous seasons. The seed stores 

 have had a good season so far. 



Several varieties of flowers which 

 are usuallj' in bloom on Memorial day 

 are blooming now and will be gone 

 long before May 30. Among these are 

 Solomon's seal, hawthorn, lilac, iris and 

 some sorts of peonies. 



Club Meeting. 



The April meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society, held at the society's 

 headquarters in Masonic Temple on the 

 evening of April 20, was attended by 

 nearly all of its active members. 



E. H. White, one of the officers of 

 the Northwestern National Dahlia So- 

 ciety, reported that plans for the so- 

 ciety's show, to be held at Portland 

 sometime next September, were being 

 completed and that several valuable 

 cups had been donated for prizes. It 

 is the understanding that the Portland 

 Floral Society will help the local dahlia 

 society to entertain the visitors. 



Henry Clemmens, the sweet pea spe- 

 cialist, extended an invitation from 

 himself and the Newberg Commercial 

 Club for the society to visit Newberg 

 on one of its summer outings. No 

 formal action was taken, but it is likely 

 that the society will accept the invita- 

 tion. 



The subject which produced the long- 

 est discussion was the arrangement of 

 the section in the rose festival center 

 which will have an exhibit under the 

 name of the society. It was pointed 

 out by President Vankirk and Manager 

 Dorsche that this was the central space 

 in the festival center and should be a 

 chief point of interest. A number of 

 suggestions were made, and the meet- 

 ing passed a resolution that the chief 

 features of the exhibit should be cut 

 flowers and that the standing commit- 

 tee on exhibitions should have charge 

 of its arrangement. A fund of about 

 $160 was raised in a few minutes 

 among those present to pay the expense 

 of staging the exhibit. More money 

 will be available if it is needed, with- 

 out any draft upon the funds of the 

 society. 



E. F. Mische, who is a member of 

 the city beautiful committee of the 

 rose festival managers, stated that 

 his committee was planning an amateur 

 contest in flower beds, porch decora- 

 tions and lawns, on the same lines as 

 the contests held for the last two years 

 by the Portland Floral Societv. It was 

 suggested that the retail florists, espe- 

 <'ially those handling bedding stock, 

 would willingly distribute announce- 

 ments of the terms of the contest and 

 the prizes offered, if the committee 

 would place them in their hands. 



Informally a suggestion was dis- 

 cussed to invite the florists of the 

 northwest who will attend the S. A. F. 

 convention to assemble at Portland and 

 .loin the local and visiting delegates to 

 the S. A. F. and convention of park 

 superintendents, and ffo south in one 

 body. ^ 



The matter of unfair competition by 

 outside growers invading this market 

 was introduced, but the discussion was 

 interrupted by a call to the banquet 

 and the question was left to adjust it- 

 self.
