The Market. 



^ *' 



No important change in market con- 

 ditions has occurred this week. The 

 most noteworthy feature is that counter 

 trade holds up well in spite of the pro- 

 fusion of outdoor flowers available. 

 Some firms report a marked increase in 

 May business over last year, which is 

 partly due to an increase in orders from 

 outside points. Plenty of cut stock of 

 all sorts is coming in, but there is no 

 oversupply of any particular variety. 

 Cornflowers in several colors, pyrethrum 

 hybrids, Spanish irises, gaillardias, 

 stocks, peonies, campanulas, delphin- 

 iums, snapdragons and perennial pop- 

 pies are rivaling in popularity the car- 

 nations, greenhouse roses and sweet 

 peas. The season for bedding stock is 

 nearly over — about a month earlier 

 than usual. 



Club Meeting. 



The Portland Floral Society held its 

 regular monthly meeting, May 18, at 

 its headquarters in Masonic Temple. • 



A resolution was passed, unanimously 

 authorizing an invitation by the society 

 to the representatives of the American 

 Seed Trade Association en route to the 

 convention in San Francisco to stop in 

 Portland to enjoy the hospitality of the 

 seed growers and dealers, assisted by 

 the society. 



It was reported that the itinerary 

 of the party from the New York Flo- 

 rists' Club on the westbound section 

 of their trip to the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion provides for a day in Portland, 

 August 14. The New York club's dele- 

 gation will be heartily welcomed by 

 the Portland society and the hope was 

 expressed that a large number of mem- 

 bers of the trade from the Atlantic 

 district will come with them. 



Julius Dorsche, manager of the rose 

 festival floral center, reported that all 

 spaces had been taken and contracts 

 signed. James Forbes, chairman of the 

 exhibition committee, reported that ar- 

 rangements for the exhibit under the 

 society 's name were completed. 



The nominating committee reported 

 its list of candidates to be voted on at 

 the June meeting. 



The retailers' committee reported 

 that an agreement had been reached as 

 to summer early closing hours, the same 

 as were tried successfully last year. 



Owing to ill health, J. J. Butzer re- 

 signed as trustee and President Van 

 Kirk announced the appointment of 

 Henry Clemmens to fill out the unex- 

 pired term. 



L. W. Scott, chairman of the entertain- 

 ment committee, was asked to provide 

 for a florists' picnic on Sunday, July 4. 

 It is proposed to close, so far as is 

 practical, all the downtown stores on 

 this day and permit employees to at- 

 tend the picnic. 



The table by the president's desk 

 was decorated with a bunch of roses 

 brought in by G. Indermuhle and by a 

 bouquet of mixed perennials from Gill 

 Bros., which were examined and ad- 

 mired at the close of the meeting. 



Various Notes. 

 L. W. Scott reports that Fred Young, 

 formcTjjr of Portland, but now a mem- 

 ber of tTie firm of Young & Lester, of 

 Walla Walla, Wash., is succeeding well 

 in business. Just now he is busy with 

 a new delivery car the firm recently 

 purchased.
