The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



June 8, 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Portland, Ore. — The Gibson Kose 

 Nurseries have been incorporated, with 

 a capital stock of $50,000. 



Garfield, Wash.— Scott Bros., of the 

 Roselawn Greenhouses, have purchased 

 J. L. Bourn's range of 10,000 square 

 feet of glass at Moscow, Idaho, and 

 will run it in conjunction with their 

 establishment here. 



Spokane, Wash. — M. Armstrong, 

 Hoyt Bros. Co. and the Spokane Florist 

 Co. unite in reporting Memorial day 

 sales as the heaviest for the season in 

 the history of the city. An immense 

 stock was on hand and was about ex- 

 hausted during the day. 



San Oabriel, Oal. — E. Fischer, orig- 

 inator of Purity freesia, was much 

 pleased with the illustration of William 

 Nicholson's stock in The Eevifew of 

 May 25, especially as he had supplied 

 Mr. Nicholson with a part of his bulbs 

 for last season. Mr. Fischer says there 

 are numerous growers all over the coun- 

 try who have fine Purity, as it is of 

 easy culture and responds quickly to 

 good treatment. 



POBTI^ND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business last week was considered a 

 harvest for the florist. Several weeks 

 of cold and rainy weather retarded all 

 outside stock, so it was up to the flo- 

 rist to supply the major part of the 

 flowers for Memorial day. Carnations 

 realized $1.50 per dozen and were sold 

 out several days in advance. Boses 

 were in full crop and yet not equal to 

 the demand. Sweet peas, iris, gladioli 

 and poppies were disposed of at top 

 prices. The shipping trade was un- 

 usually active. It was necessary in 

 many cases to substitute when the 

 specified fiowers were not procurable. 

 Considerable stock was shipped from 

 California, but everything was cleaned 

 out before the day was over. 

 . The closing days of the week find a 

 considerable change in the weather; it 

 is extremely warm, for which we are 

 grateful, for it was sadly needed to 

 bring out the roses, as the rose festival 

 commenced June 5. 



Water lilies are arriving in limited 

 quantities and find ready sale.

The Market. 



From all accounts, Memorial day 

 trade, in general, was not ahead of that 

 of last year. There was a shortage of 

 common flowers, such as stocks, candy- 

 tuft and gaillardias, but it is not clear 

 whether the big demand for cheap blos- 

 soms was to blame or whether there is 

 less of this stock grown now than for- 

 merly. Bride gladioli were late again 

 this year, owing to the continued cold 

 weather, and they will not be in their 

 prime for another week. This is small 

 satisfaction to those who grow them, 

 as they have been in big demand for

the last two weeks. Sweet peas were 

 not as plentiful as usual, for the same 

 reason, and the prices consequently 

 ranged higher than last season. Peonies, 

 except a few late patches, are out of 

 the race for this year. Bulbous stock, 

 with the exception of gladioli, is over 

 or not yet ready. Outside roses sold 

 well, but inside stock of the same flower 

 moved slowly. Carnations were in 

 about sufficient quantity to fill all de 

 mands and outside carnations were not 

 used except for the cheapest cemetery 

 bouquets. 



Those dealers who cater to the out- 

 of-town shipping trade report that, as 

 already stated, the demand was almost 

 exclusively for cheap stock, and al- 

 though the bulk of flowers sent may 

 have been equal to that of last year, 

 the gross sales will hardly exceed it.
