admit that California has something 

 worth seeing in the way of flowers and 

 flower business. Others here at present 

 are Charles P. Mueller, of Wichita, 

 Kan.; Edward See^ry, of Passaic, N. J., 

 and R. C. Kerr, of Houston, Tex. 



Daniel MacRorie, who has been in 

 the Yosemite with his father, M. Mac- 

 Eorie, of New Jersey, is now back in 

 the city. 



Schwerin Bros., of Visitacion valley, 

 have been bringing in a large cut of 

 handsome tritoma for the last fortnight. 



Domoto Bros, have been bringing in 

 some fine Lilium rubrum lately. Mr. 

 Domoto says they have about 15,000 

 planted and expect a large sale for 

 them. 



A nice cut of Minnie Burgle dahlias, 

 something better than the ordinary, has 

 been coming in from Bosaia 's, at (^olma. 



Frank G. Cuthbertson, of C. C. Morse 

 & Co., has just returned from a vaca- 

 tion. 



What would perhaps be a decided 

 novelty to many eastern florists is the 

 showing in several San Francisco win- 

 dows of artichoke blossoms. The buda 

 are extensively grown south of San 

 Francisco and shipped as vegetables, 

 while the blossoms, when perfect, can 

 be strikingly and effectively used in 

 decoration. 



The meeting of the Ladies' California 

 Floral Society on the evening of July 

 14, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. 

 Axell, of the E. W. McLellan Co., was 

 a pleasant affair. There were nearly 

 forty present, many of the ladies being 

 accompanied by their husbands. While 

 the meeting was primarily of a social 

 nature, some progress was made on 

 plans for the reception of ladies of the 

 S. A. F., and some new members were 

 admitted. 



Frank Pelicano reports a great rush 

 the last fortnight on general funeral 

 and decorative work, in addition to the 

 Liberty Bell float. His second crop of 

 Panama gladioli is now at its height, 

 and he is getting some fine fiowers of 

 this and several other fine varieties.

The Market. 



The crest of a hot wave reached here 

 July 20, and the weather inan reported 

 the temperature the highest since 1907. 

 It was 100 degrees from 4 to 6 p. m., 

 but cooler weather followed. Considera- 

 ble stock was affected by the heat, but 

 there remained enough to meet the 

 small demand. Gladioli continue the 

 leading feature in window displays. 

 The call for funeral work increased 

 slightly, and the entertainment of sev- 

 eral large parties of Elks, en route from 

 their convention, used up considerable 

 stock. 



Club Meeting. 



The Portland Floral Society met Tues- 

 day, July 20. The final report of the 

 secretary showed an active member- 

 ship of seventy-five, and the retiring 

 treasurer reported a balance of $408 on 

 hand. On taking the chair, the incom- 

 ing president, S. W. Walker, read a 

 paper, in which he used the analogy of 

 the growing plant to sketch the history 

 of the society, from the meeting of 

 April 26, 1912, when the seed was sown, 

 to the final setting of the plant in the 

 center of the rose festival of this year. 

 He pointed out that the success of the 

 society was due to the spirit of coopera- 

 tion and brotherhood among members,

Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade abont 

 it by nsing the Pacific Ooast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 resnlts. Like this: 



Say I That ad's a hnmdlncer for tettlns tlis 

 bosineM.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cnttincs advertised, and yon 

 will not hear from me again until I can get soms 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100,000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next season, as I know The Review 

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

 geles, Cal. 



Please cut out of our advertisement In The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all our 

 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 At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Oo- 

 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 results. 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash.
