The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Febbuaby 15, 1912. 



PORTLAND'S SLLVEETHAW. 

 [Oonclnded from page 46.] 

 the public's eye to this shameful negli- 

 gence on the part of some of our 

 wealthy mossbacks. 



Now a word about the great rose 

 festival at Portland, the one big fea- 

 ture of the Pacific coast held annually 

 in this city. The rose show is about 

 the only part in which the local florists 

 take any interest. This show is given 

 by the Portland Rose Society, com- 

 posed of amateurs, who have by some 

 liberal premiums in the past years in- 

 duced the local florists to exhibit their 

 best products in order to make the 

 show more interesting to the public 

 and visitors, admission being free. At 

 the last show the festival committee 

 curtailed the allowance for the rose 

 show and admission was charged to 

 defray expenses. It is to be harder 

 on the public this year, as the Eose 

 Society has decided to exclude the gen- 

 eral florists' exhibits, which have been 

 about the best feature in the show. 

 The reason seems to be thart these ex- 

 hibits have drawn the public's atten- 

 tion away from the individual rose ex- 

 hibits, as some members of the Rose 

 Society contend, a queer policy, not to 

 be recommended, in the writer's 

 opinion. However, our foremost pro- 

 fessional rose grower has the honor 

 of presiding over our budding Rose 

 Society and we all hope the society will 

 enjoy a blooming good year for 1912.

PASADENA, CAL. 



The spring show of the Pasadena 

 Horticultural Society will be held April 

 11 to 13. 



J. S. Craven, who recently purchased 

 the McComber collection of orchids, is 

 about to build a new house for their 

 culture. This is the collection origi- 

 nally got together by Dr. Schiffman 

 and is full of fine varieties and hy- 

 brids. Mr. McKenzie, the grower here, 

 has his plants in excellent condition 

 and grand results may be looked for 

 when his new house is complete. 



Trade in the retail stores is improv- 

 ing right along and several large deco- 

 rations have helped out the stock, but 

 the lack of rain is checking business 

 generally and the seedsmen partic- 

 ularly. H. R. Richards.
