The Horists'Seview 



MoTSMBaa 6, 1014. 



the Pieters- Wheeler Seed Co., of Gilroy, 

 Cal., called on the trade last week. 



At the carnation range of Edw. Dun< 

 gey, at East Seventieth and Morrison 

 streets, and that of W. E. Dungey, his 

 son, at East Seventy-sixth and Madison 

 streets, the plans are in full bloom. In 

 both ranges some greens and bedding 

 stock are grown. 



The Mountain View Floral Co. has 

 ten acres about its range of glass at 

 East Seventy-second and Mill streets, 

 on the southeast slope of Mount Tabor. 

 They are preparing to put in seven 

 acres of early potatoes; the balance ia 

 in shrubs and plants. At this range 

 they propagate stock for their 17-acre 

 nursery near Gresham. This company 

 introduced^ a few years ago, the Me- 

 teor geranium, which is now seen every- 

 where and is considered among the best 

 single reds. 



President Van Kirk, of the Florists* 

 Club, has announced his appointment 

 of the committee, authorized at the last 

 meeting, to promote the more extensive 

 use of flowers in boxes and baskets as 

 street and building decorations, and to 

 establish a permanent exhibit of bed- 

 ding stock on public property and ar- 

 range for its maintenance during the 

 season. The committee is as follows: 

 H. E. Weed, chairman; Julius Dorsche, 

 W. L. Crissey, Albert Bahn and J. G. 

 Bacher. The foregoing are for active 

 service.. A consulting committee, to 

 aid in planning the work, is composed 

 of James Forbes, A. J. Clarke, J. B. 

 Pilkington, E. T. Mische and Henry 

 Kahn. 



The Martin & Forbes Co. has a fine 

 display of cut flowers at its booth in 

 the Armory, where the land products 

 show is now being held. This firm's 

 exhibit is the only floral display there. 



M. J. Maegley and L. Turner have 

 opened a store at 166 East Thirty- 

 seventh street. Mr. Maegley was for- 

 merly with the People's Floral Shop, at 

 Second and Alder streets. S. W. W.

The Market. 



There is a lull in the flower business 

 at present, partly caused by uncer- 

 tainty in the result of the forthcoming 

 election, which is of an upsetting kind, 

 with prohibition and an 8-hour law for 

 this state among the questions for de- 

 cision, and partly by conditions within 

 the trade. The unusually fine, bright 

 weather has brought carnations into 

 full bloom, 80 that there has been an 

 oversupply in the market. Some flo- 

 rists have seen fit to placard their win- 

 dows with signs offering carnations at 

 25 cents per dozen, and even as low 

 as 15 cents per dozen, but the more 

 conservative venders have kept to the 

 usual price and in some cases as high 

 as $1 a dozen is asked and received for 

 Gorgeous. As times go now, it ia a 

 hard matter to make any money out 

 of growing carnations, but when it 

 comes to selling them and advertising 

 them at 15 centa per dozen, can anyone, 

 grower, wholesaler or retailer, get a 

 living? In this climate carnations 

 have hitherto been the principal win- 

 ter crop of flowers for all growers, so 

 that unless a fair price is secured there 

 is no possibility of making the flower 

 business interesting for anyone. Boses 

 are plentiful, with a fair demand that 

 causes a good clean-up. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are selling well, with consider- 

 able shipments still coming in from

California. Violets again are being 

 peddled on the streets, notwithstanding 

 the ordinance prohibiting the practice. 

 Possibly the retailers do not care to 

 see to its enforcement, and as there 

 are no home-grown violets here, it is a 

 matter of no interest to anyone else. 

 The peddlers seem to dispose of quan- 

 tities and this may cause the scentless 

 stuff to be little used by discriminating 

 people. Few outdoor flowers are left. 

 Of ferns and foliage plants there are 

 plenty. A few cyclamens are offered, 

 but these and primulas are about all 

 the flowering plants now on sale. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Agnes Scheiben is now assistant 

 in the store of the Paris Florist. This 

 store always has attractive window 

 displays and the brilliancy of the light- 

 ing in the evenings helps to draw the 

 attention of the public.
