The Weekly Florists' Review* 



June 1, 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Oakland, Cal. — Mary E. Keller has 

 built a greenhouse at 3822 Piedmont 

 avenue. 



Pomona, Cal. — Charles Carette recent- 

 ly had a narrow escape from death 

 while crossing the Salt Lake tracks 

 in his automobile. His car became 

 stalled on the crossing while a heavy 

 freight train was bearing down upon 

 him, and he saved his life by leaping 

 over the hood of the machine to the 

 ground, about five feet ahead. The 

 auto was completely wrecked. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



Weather conditions for the last two 

 weeks have been unfavorable for the 

 growing of all greenhouse stock. There 

 have been almost continuous rains, with 

 high winds and cold nights, causing the 

 outdoor flowers to be extremely slow in 

 development. Many of the growers had 

 quit firing for the season, and now we 

 hear complaints of a poor setting of 

 tomatoes and cucumbers. 



The Mothers' day business was all 

 that could be expected. The day is 

 gaining in general public favor and 

 will soon be one of the best flower days 

 of the year. 



Bedding stock is moving slowly, but 

 seems to be of unusually good quality, 

 with a good supply in sight. Cut flow- 

 ers, especially carnations, are scarce 

 and are bringing a good price. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Gertz, manager of the Flower 

 Shop, has been away from the store for 

 a week on account of sickness. Mrs. 

 Watson has also been on the sick list. 



The California Florist had the con- 

 tract for decorating the new U. P. de- 

 pot for the opening day. 



The Florists' Club, at its last meet- 

 ing, decided to hold the rose show in 

 conjunction with the Woman's Club, 

 June 16 and 17. Messrs. Koberts, Hinz 

 and Mahnke were selected as judges.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



With Memorial day just at hand, the 

 scarcity of flowers is worrying the flo- 

 rists. The last week was cold and 

 rainy; only a little stock developed and 

 such of it as did so was badly blighted. 

 Peonies are opening under many diffi- 

 culties. The usual outside flowers, such 

 as sweet peas, bachelor's buttons and 

 iris, are practically out of the market. 

 Shipping trade was steady during the 

 entire week. Graduation exercises 

 caused the principal demand. The long 

 distance shipments for Memorial day 

 commenced about Friday. 



Carnations are in better supply than 

 previously reported; with a few days of 

 sunshine there would be a wonderful 

 change. The Maryland rose is in full 

 crop, but other varieties are scarce. Hy- 

 drangeas are about the only blooming 

 plant of consequence on the market. 

 Advance orders for June weddings are 

 being rapidly booked.

The Market. 



Memorial day is close at hand, and 

 from the amount of shipping that is be- 

 ing done it is evident that portion of 

 the business at least will be up to that 

 of former years. The shipments, how- 

 ever, seem to be of smaller bulk than 

 we have usually seen, but the flowers 

 sent are of more expensive stock.
