The Florists' Revkw 



APftiL 9, 1914. 



with pleasure to an instructive lec- 

 ture by Ralph Stevens, which will be 

 delivered at the regular meeting of the 

 society April 4. Mr. Stevens spent last 

 year abroad, assimilating knowledge 

 and collecting pictures of interest to 

 those absorbed in floriculture. 



The Luther Burbank Co. -has been 

 showing a liberal display of flowering 

 plants during the week, the star fea- 

 ture being Pink Pearl set on high ped- 

 estals in the window space of some 150 

 feet. This prize rhododendron makes 

 a wonderful showing. 



The finest gardenias San Francisco 

 can boast of having are those brought 

 in by the E. W. McLellan Co. They 

 have stems fully a foot long, fine fo- 

 liage and flowers three to four inches 

 in diameter. W. A. H.

The Market. 



There seems to be plenty of stock 

 to take care of the demand. Liliea 

 are in fine form; while no surplus pre- 

 vails, everyone expects to fill all or- 

 ders. Azaleas never were in better 

 condition. Hydrangeas, ramblers, rho- 

 <lodendrons, spiraeas and tulips also 

 will play an important part in the Eas- 

 ter business this year. Roses are grad- 

 ually increasing in quantity and qual- 

 ity is improving. Carnations are over- 

 plentiful. On these there is no stand- 

 ard price for the wholesalers, the bet- 

 ter stores maintaining the retail prices 

 at 75 cents per dozen, but in some 

 places there ai^e special sales at 50 

 cents. Violets are scarce; there is a 

 fear of no violets by Easter. Sweet 

 peas are still rather scarce and bring 

 good prices. Daffodils and tulips are 

 almost out of the market. Lilacs are 

 blooming outdoors. 



Various Notes. 



H. Fleishauer, of McMinnville, speaks 

 optimistically of the aster situation. 

 Sales of seeds have been satisfactory. 

 He will ^devote about four acres to as- 

 ters; approximately 75,000 plants will 

 be planted out. So far 4,000 have been 

 planted and the rest will soon follow. 

 Herbert & Fleishauer are among the 

 most successful aster growers in the 

 northwest. 



Wm. Fehrenbecker spent the week 

 end at Gearhart, Ore., where he is 

 building a cottage. He expects to have 

 it completed by the time the exodus to 

 the seashore commences. 



Niklas & Sons are using a Brush 

 auto for delivery purposes, getting sat- 

 isfactory service. 



Benjamin Van Kirk is building a 

 home on Fifty-second street, adjacent 

 to the greenhouses, which will soon be 

 ready for occupancy. 



The Nippon Floral Co. has a nice 

 lot of wistaria plants in bloom, which 

 sell readily. 



R. C. Cook reports business satis- 

 factory. E. R. C. 



IS THE WATER UNSUITABLE? 



Having had considerable trouble of 

 late in growing my plants, and having 

 exhausted every means known to me 

 in trying to remedy the trouble, I have 

 '•ome to the conclusion that our water 

 supply is bad. Our soil is a heavy 

 yellow loam and we have always, until 

 this season, had good success in grow- 

 ing lettuce, radishes, carnations and a 

 jreneral line of bedding and ornamental
