The Weekly Florists' Review* 



July 27. 1811. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Albany, Ore. — Mrs. C. Blount, of 

 Sixth and Railroad streets, has retired 

 from the florists' trade. 



Stockton, Cal. — Fred A. Potter is 

 planning to install a steam heating sys- 

 tem in his greenhouses on North Mon- 

 roe street. 



Spokane, Wash. — John H. Starbird, 

 who owns five and one-half acres of 

 land near this city, is planning to cover 

 the whole tract with a range of green- 

 houses. He expects to begin work at 

 once in the erection of the first section 

 of the houses, so as to be able to place 

 some of his vegetables on the market 

 in the coming fall and winter. 



Anacortes, Wash. — H. Hansen, who 

 for the last two years has been em- 

 ployed at the greenhouses of the H. 

 Harrington Co., at Vashon, Wash., has 

 returned to this town, where he for- 

 merly resided and where he owns a 

 10-acre garden tract. He will begin 

 business as a market gardener, with 

 poultry as a side line. The railroad 

 facilities are such as to furnish quick 

 and cheap delivery to the principal 

 Puget Sound markets. 



POETLAND, OEE. 



The Market. 



Business is extremely quiet. The 

 summer resorts have practically drained 

 the city of the flower buying public; 

 therefore we must be contented with a 

 small margin of profit, as a consider- 

 able portion of the stock is consigned 

 to the rubbish heap. Sweet peas and 

 roses are showing the effects of the hot, 

 dry weather in their impaired keeping 

 qualities. The thermometer registered 

 97 degrees in the shade for several 

 days, which is altogether unusual for 

 this section. The quiet days afford an 

 opportunity to take inventory and to 

 repair and renovate the stores. 



Various Notes. 



E. A. Humfeld, of Kansas City, was 

 enthusiastic over the quality of flowers 

 here at this season, as compared with 

 stock in his home city. 



Louis Goodfriend, representing Wer- 

 theimcr Bros., is calling on the local 

 trade. 



There is rejoicing at the home of A. 

 W. Post on the arrival of a baby girl. 



A. Hallet recently purchased prop- 

 erty at Seventy-ninth street and Forty- 

 fifth avenue, where he will erect addi- 

 tional glass and grow stock for the 

 wholesale market. 



A. J. Clarke and James Forbes are 

 spending a few days in Seattle, having 

 gone over on the Commercial Club spe- 

 cial train to attend the Golden Pot- 

 latch. 



D. Conser, of Scio, Ore., was in town 

 in the interest of the moss and green 

 business, which he is catering to ex- 

 tensively. E. E. C.

 our display of summer flowers is the

eral weeks of cool days and cooler nights 

 at this time, everything is of better 

 color and substance than usual. Busi- 

 ness, however, is extremely quiet. Up 

 to three weeks ago the funeral orders 

 took up most of the white and light 

 colored stock, t)ut since that time there 

 has been practically no demand for 

 these or colored stock, either. With 

 most of the buyers out of town there is 

 little doing in a social way and there is 

 likely to be quite a slump for a few 

 weeks yet. The buyers have such a 

 surfeit of blossoms to select from that 

 only extra fancy roses or similar flowers 

 move at all. 



Various Notes. 



Luke's Flower Shop, on Powell street, 

 has retired from the retail trade and 

 the premises are advertised for rent.
