The Florists' Review 



73 



no definite statement is given out as 

 yet, it is expected that a good deal of 

 definite progress will be shown at next 

 week's meeting of the society. The 

 meeting for bowling practice, May 21, 

 was well attended and there is a fair 

 prospect that an effective team will be 

 organized. S. H. Q. 



POBTLAND, OEE. 



The Market. 



Heavy rains the first half of last 

 week injured outdoor flowers, and some 

 varieties were rendered practically use- 

 less. The florists were unable to meet 

 the demand for carnations for Memorial 

 day. Wholesalers report unusually 

 heavy orders from out of town. The 

 principal flowers available were carna- 

 tions, roses, snapdragons, stocks, sweet 

 peas and lilies; outdoor-grown peonies, 

 roses, delphiniums, campanulas, hes- 

 peris, poppies, cornflowers, iris and 

 pinks. Funeral work has been good, 

 and counter trade holds up quite well. 

 The seedsmen report a sharp falling-off 

 in business, such as is usual in June. 

 The season is over for the nurserymen, 

 and planting out and propagating are 

 now being done. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Sybil Baker has been elected 

 queen of the rose festival. She has 

 twelve maids of honor, and each is 

 given an official name after a variety 

 of rose. 



A. B. Molloy, of Sherwood, was a re- 

 cent visitor. For several years he has 

 frown onions under contract for Call- 

 ornia seed growers. His onions were 

 shipped and the seed grown there. This 

 year the former buyers are trying to 

 raise their own bulbs, but Mr, Molloy 

 hopes to renew his contract for next 

 year. 



Wm. Schaumann, formerly of Port- 

 land, who has been engaged in the 

 nursery and landscape business for the 

 last two years at Vancouver, B. C, 

 has returned to this city. 



Guy M. Filkington recently made a 

 business trip to Spokane. Conditions 

 there appeared quite favorable to him. 

 He says his trip resulted satisfactorily. 



H. T. Fleishauer, of Herbert & Fleis- 

 hauer, McMinnville, was in town re- 

 cently. He says their business is about 

 equally divided between the growing 

 of asters for seed and for cut flowers. 

 He reports a good business so far this 

 year. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. held a big 

 quantity of peonies in cold storage for 

 Memorial day, which came out in good 

 condition. S. W. W. 



ASHES IN CONCRETE. 



Please let me know whether ashes 

 from a furnace would do as well as 

 gravel and sand for making concrete 

 for walls. I have used it for walks 

 and it answers well for that, but I do 

 not know how it would do for walls. 

 Of course, I would reinforce the con- 

 crete with iron pipes. L. M. — N. S. 



I would certainly use sand and gravel 

 in preference to ashes for the wall.
