The Florists' Review . 



Auoust 12, 191S. 



good cut of cold storage Lilium gi- 

 ganteum from its own houses is coming 

 in. They are receiving a fine cut of 

 Ophelia roses, and expect to have a 

 good crop of Russell and Hadley be- 

 fore long. 



Walter Hofinghoff, of the MacRorie- 

 McLaren Co., is on his vacation, and 

 is taking the opportunity to see the ex- 

 position at San Diego. 



J. Charles McCullough, president of 

 the J. C. McChillough Seed Co.. Cin- 

 cinnati, is visiting San Francisco this 

 week. 



B. M. Joseph's flower shop is doing 

 some conspicuous advertising, fre- 

 quently using a corner of the front page 

 of one of the leading morning papers 

 for an announcement such as the fol- 

 lowing: "Place a welcoming package 

 from Joseph 's in your guests ' room. ' ' 



Alex. Mann says the exposition has 

 not helped to overcome the usual mid- 

 summer dullness out in the Richmond 

 district. He says he feels no more 

 direct effect from the fair than if he 

 were in some outside town. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. has 

 installed a large new icebox in 

 preparation for the chrysanthemum 

 season, and has everything in readiness 

 to begin shipments as soon as the cut 

 is sufficient. S. H. G.

The Market. 



Trade has been better than usual 

 for the first week of August. The 

 presence of a great many tourists, 

 brought to the coast by the San Fran- 

 cisco fair and the many national con- 

 ventions being held in the large coast 

 cities, has increased the demand for 

 flowers. Local social affairs, except 

 those held in honor of visitors, have 

 been few. The call for funeral work 

 has been good, using up the surplus 

 stock and preventing great waste. 



Gladioli, asters, auratum and ru- 

 brum lilies, roses, carnations, sweet 

 peas and an assortment of blooms 

 from outdoor plants are the flowers 

 used. Some dahlias are shown, but 

 they have not yet become a prominent 

 feature of the window displays. The 

 reports of business for July, now that 

 figures are available, are even more 

 encouraging than expected. 



Various Notes. 



The next meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society will be held August 17 

 in the Masonic Temple, at 8 o'clock. 



Otto Reuble is operating the Keil 

 range of greenhouses, at Woodmere. 

 He has benched the carnations and 

 put in more Sprengeri. He has about 

 3,000 cyclamens, in 2i^-inch and 4-inch 

 pots. He has picked the last of sev- 

 eral benches of tomatoes, which he re- 

 tailed at the public market. Mr. 

 Reuble grows mums, asters, ferns and 

 an assortment of pot plants. 



Henry Penn, of Boston, accompanied 

 by Mrs. Penn and a party of friends, 

 recently called on some of the Port- 

 land florists. 



Andrew Walden was found hard at 

 work finishing the benches of the 

 house he has added to the range 

 bought from Jay Gould last spring. 

 The house was partly filled with car- 

 nations and mums, and the other 

 benches were ready for soil. Mr. 

 Walden 's houses were well filled with 

 general stock, suitable for the retail 

 trade. He does most of his own work.

but finds time to experiment with new 

 varieties of mums. He said he -had 

 found business better than he ex- 

 pected. 



Often the better halves of growers 

 are not given credit for their efforts, 

 but not so with H. T. Fleishauer. He 

 writes from McMinnvilJe: "From 

 the start, Mrs. Fleishauer has kept 

 close, watch of the growing end of 

 the business, and, being fond of flow- 

 ers, she has given all her time to the 

 study and direction of the work on 

 the asters during the entire season. 

 She is largely responsible for the un- 

 usually fine quality of stock pro- 

 duced." 



(Leo Wiedemann, who is operating a 

 range of greenhouses near Lakewood 

 station of the Oregon City car line, in- 

 tends to carry over one house of car- 

 nations. He says it pays to have 

 carnations ready to cut every day of 

 the year. He grows two houses of 

 Cecile Brunner roses. 



S. G. Lubliner, who has a flower 

 store in the Portland hotel building, 

 says the tourist trade is good. Mrs. 

 Lubliner is at the beach and Mr. 

 Lubliner goes down for weekends. 



A call at the plant of the Woodmere 

 Floral Co., of which E. L. Scott is 

 manager, found E. W. Slaughter in 

 charge. Frank Williams, who has had 

 charge for several months, left last 

 week for Canada with the intention of 

 enlisting in one of the English regi- 

 ments. The range presented a greatly 

 improved appearance. The outdoor 

 space has been laid off in plats and 

 beds, with neat graveled walks. While
