The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



June 15, 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Counter trade has been rather quiet, 

 but funeral work has kept up quite 

 well. "Wedding decorations commenced 

 with the first of June and have main- 

 tained a steady gait, with stock about 

 equal to the demand. Carnations are 

 in full crop again and roses, also, ara 

 in fine form, with elegant canes. Kai- 

 serins and Carnots are the principal 

 summer roses here. 



Sweet peas, iris and peonies are about 

 equal to the demand, but, on account 

 of the unusually cool weather, outside 

 flowers developed slowly. 



Various Notes. 



This being the annual rose festival 

 week, the city is in gala attire and 

 many strangers are within its gates. 

 Decorated automobile and carriage pa- 

 rades are the main feature, and al- 

 though home talent was applied in most 

 cases, yet there was occasionally a 

 chance for the florists to show their 

 skill. The exhibition of roses was held 

 at the Armory, where many beautiful 

 blooms were exhibited and prizes com- 

 peted for. While the quality was not 

 up to the standard of former years, on 

 account of the late season, great credit 

 was given the rosarians for their ef- 

 forts to make it a success. In the 

 decorative plant and cut flower exhibit, 

 first prize was awarded to the Swiss 

 Floral Co. and second to Martin & 

 Forbes. 



P. M. Parthemore, of the McFarland 

 Publicity Service, Harrisburg, Pa., is 

 here on a special mission during the 

 festivaj, to secure views and photo- 

 graphs of choice roses. 



C. T. Kipp, of Spokane, is in town, 

 combining business with pleasure. A. 

 E. Miller, of Hayden 's Flower Shop, 

 Tacoma, is also here for a few days. 



John Holze, Chas. Walker, F. C. 

 Smith and Louis Tschunko came over 

 from Seattle in an auto and are hav- 

 ing a jolly time. Miss Burns, of Wood- 

 land Park, and Tom Rhodes, of Walz's 

 place, are also here. 



Frank Clarke, of Clarke Bros., Oak- 

 land, came up to the festival and to 

 visit his family after several years' 

 absence. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The summer dullness has arrived in 

 genuine shape and everyone seems to 

 be making an effort to get out of 

 town. Flowers for school commence- 

 ments have moved better thig year 

 than ever before, and the practice of 

 making much ado iabout graduation 

 seems to be on the increase. This is 

 over, however, for this season and we 

 now have to drop back on wedding dec- 

 orations and an occasional funeral or- 

 der. Carnations and roses are not over- 

 plentiful, but quite sufficient to fill all 

 requirements. Sweet peas have been 

 cheaper since Memorial day and they 

 are practically the only outside flowers 

 that are in good demand. Spanish 

 irises are on the wane and are the last 

 item among the bulbous stock to be 

 shown for this spring.

Bride gladioli came on a few days 

 too late for Decoration day with most 

 of the growers, and they now are go- 

 ing begging at 50 cents per hundred. 

 The other varieties of gladioli are not 

 yet in sufficient quantity to make much 

 of a showing and it will be several 

 weeks before either they or dahlias will 

 be much in evidence. 



Valley is not plentiful, but there is 

 enough to go around and the same can 

 be said of L. longiflorum. Owing to 

 the warm weather, the wild flowers are 

 getting scarce and there is practically 

 nothing in this line that pays for the 

 handling.
