The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



August 22, 1907. 



worked by Japanese labor and the net 

 returns sent to Japan is something that 

 should not be lost sight of. 



Eastern people do not realize what 

 Japanese competition is; in fact, it is 

 impossible to understand the persever- 

 ance and ambition of these men, and 

 what the outcome will be it is hard to 

 tell at this time. 



An incident occurred at Berkeley sev- 

 eral weeks ago that was recorded in the 

 Eeview^ at the time. The carnation 

 houses of a Japanese grower by the 

 name of P. Nabeta were practically de- 

 stroyed by a crowd of boys living in the 

 neighborhood. I mention this to show 

 the feeling existing here against the 

 Japanese. Such actions should be, and 

 are, punished severely by the authori- 

 ties, but this affair was published in 

 some of the leading Japanese papers and 

 caused much indignation, both in Japan 

 and this country. It was an act of van- 

 dalism, however, and was so understood 

 by the owner of the greenhouses, who 

 has been a resident of Berkeley for sev- 

 eral years and has been very success- 

 ful as a grower of carnations, G. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market 



The passing of July was of no great 

 importance to the florists, business be- 

 ing extremely quiet all through the 

 month. The summer resorts are reaping 

 their harvest just now and the exodus 

 6f our society people is quite noticeable. 

 August was ushered in with delight- 

 fully cool weather, which seems to be 

 having a stimulating effect on trade. 

 The call for fine funeral work is brisk. 

 The window displays are neat and trim, 

 consisting of potted ferns, flowering 

 begonias and other seasonable stock. 



Roses and carnations are at low ebb, 

 their place being filled with an abundant 

 supply of sweet peas, asters, gladioli, 

 and auratum lilies, and for the arrange- 

 ment of these for any occasion we are 

 certainly favored in one respect here, 

 that of having an available supply of 

 Oregon grape, common fern, huckleberry 

 and beautiful maple foliage. The maple 

 leaf is rich and effective in its varied 

 colors and is often preferable to the 

 asparagus green. 



Vaiioui Notes. 



Those of the craft who are too busy 

 to take a vacation are building and re- 

 modeling and we hope to pay them a 

 visit soon. 



Sam Koake, of Oregon City, has sold 

 his place and home, and moved to Clack- 

 amas, where he will operate on a more 

 extensive scale. 



Gus Teufel, out on the Barnes road, 

 has expended some of his hard-earned 

 cash in the building of a new residence 

 and another greenhouse. 



Julius Broetje, of Milwaukee, finds his 

 hobby, the cultivation of the pond lily, 

 a paying one. For some reason these 

 beautiful aquatics do not grow promis- 

 cuously in Oregon, and they retail for 

 $1 a dozen. 



We have had several callers of late. 

 Miss Armstrong, of Spokane, thinks 

 Portland a good place in which to gather 

 a few ideas and she is one of the pro- 

 gressive of the fair sex. 



E. Gill, the nurseryman, of Berkeley, 

 Cal., comes annually to replenish our 

 stock of outdoor roses.
