up 'to act as one of the judges, the 

 others being John McLaren,, Emery 

 Smith and G. A. Dennison. There were 

 about 1,500 entries. The society held a 

 meeting on the afternoon of June 11 

 at the Inside Inn. 



Daniel MacBorie, of the MacRorie- 

 McLaren Co.., is making si business, trip 

 to Eureka, Cal. The, MacRorie-McLaren 

 Co., a few days ago, carried out one 

 of the largest decorations ever done in 

 this city, on the occasion of the con- 

 vention of the National Electric Light 

 Association. A large colonnade of 

 classic gtyle was erected around the 

 Dewey monument in tlnion Square, each 

 column -being surmounted by an urn 

 of hydrangeas, and thb entire colonnade 

 being garlanded with oak.. Around the 

 Ijase of the central shaft was a great 

 bank of over 800 specimen hydrangeas, 

 shading from deep pink to pale pink. 

 The. base of the shaft itself was cov- 

 ered with eucalyptus studded with 

 "novagems, " or large imitation jew- 

 els, w^ich, with a powerful indirect 

 lighting system at night, made a won- 

 derfully beautiful effect. 



B. M. Joseph 's shop made a hit with 

 the first showing of phlox for the sea- 

 son. This house a few days ago had a 

 handsome display of wedding bowers, 

 brides' bouquets, etc., and has sold a 

 great many fine shower bouquets during 

 the week. 



The Hogan-Kooyman Co. is receiving 

 a fine lot of peonies from Carl Purdy's 

 place, in Mendocino county. 



The United Flower & Supply Co., on 

 Bush street, is greatly increasing its 

 cold storage facilities.

The Market. 



The weather has been cool, with 

 heavy showers at night and light ones 

 during the day. The showers coming 

 on the days of the rose festival celebra- 

 tion considerately missed the hours 

 when parades were being held. Prepa- 

 ration of floral exhibits for the festival 

 has been the ruling feature in the 

 market. Millions of outdoor roses were 

 used in decorations; still the demand 

 for greenhouse-grown stock was strong. 

 Carnations, sweet peas and snapdragons 

 did not fare so well. Delphiniums, 

 gaillardias, campanulas, marguerites 

 and other varieties of outdoor stock 

 were used extensively with wild greens. 

 The demand for funeral work has been 

 normal. 



The Rose Show. 



The Portland Rose Society held its 

 twenty-third annual show June 9 and 

 10. About 500 exhibits were placed by 

 ninety-two exhibitors. Roses in groups 

 and singles and decorated tables were 

 shown. A pink Joseph Hill rose was 

 judged to be the best single bloom; an 

 t'lrich Brunner was a close second. 

 Many prizes were awarded, among 

 them being seventy silver cups. The 

 Beaverton Nursery Co. had an exhibit 

 of peonies, the only exhibit permitted 

 which was not of roses. 



The Rose Festival. 



The ninth annual celebration of this 

 distinctive feature, which has war- 

 ranted the name of the Rose City, was 

 held .June 9 to 11. The directors of 



It 



Pays 



To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists: 



What stock hare you 



for tale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 resnlts. Like this: 



Set I That ad's a humdinger for rettinc tht 

 business.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttincs advertised, and yon 

 will not hear from me again until I can get some 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100.000 Carnation 

 cuttlntrs for next season, as I know The Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los An- 

 seles, Cal. 



Flease cut out of our advertisement in The Be> 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all oat 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the A». 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem. 

 Ore., and from Salem. Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives resolta. 

 —Van Slyke <& Seamons, Tacoma, Wash.
