The Weekly Florists' Review* 



September 8, 1910. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business is at the lowest ebb, only 

 an occasional funeral or wedding to 

 relieve the monotony; socially there is 

 practically nothing doing. Asters are 

 in profusion; in fact, the market is 

 glutted and they move slowly. Gla- 

 dioli arc in good supply and quality. 

 Eoses are in full crop, more than the 

 trade can consume, and the major part 

 is consigned to the barrel. 



Carnations are scarce, but there are 

 a few of the new crop in evidence. 

 Sweet peas are plentiful, but value has 

 depreciated. Some choice fancy col- 

 ored caladiums are displayed in the 

 show windows. Golden Glow chrysan- 

 themums are in evidence, but are far 

 from the standard. 



Various Notes. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. is displaying 

 choice cattleyas of unusual beauty. 



Sympathy of the trade is extended 

 Garth Barnes on the sudden death of 

 his father, which occurred recently. 



J. B. Feustmann, of Pine Free Silk 

 Mills, called on the trade recently. 



James Forbes is proud of his lily 

 ponds; he is producing some of the 

 most exquisite shades. 



G. S. Crego occupies leisure time 

 with his camera. His photos have been 

 used extensively by the Commercial 

 Club. 



With the American Express Co. op- 

 erating in this territory, the eastern 

 growers are brought several days 

 nearer, therefore guaranteeing better 

 delivery of plants. E. R. C.

The Market. 



Business was somewhat quieter last 

 week than it had been for some time. 

 The weather turned slightly warmer 

 and stock of all kinds came into town 

 in large consignments. This must be 

 qualified, however, by stating that roses 

 are not in abundant supply, and those 

 that it is possible to procure are not by 

 any means first-class. In carnations, 

 the shifting of the new stock into the 

 houses is practically over, and, although 

 the flowers sent to the retailers are 

 rather short-stemmed, they seem to fill 

 present requirements. Princess of 

 Wales violets have made their appear- 

 ance, and if we were blessed with 

 cooler weather they would be stiffer of 

 stem and of darker color. The bunches 

 contain about fifty blossoms and cost 

 the stores $1 per dozen. 



Asters are on the wane, but the qual- 

 ity has been excellent during the sea- 

 son and the prices have been low. 

 Mums are not yet in great evidence, 

 Imt a few days will make a big diflfer- 

 ence with them, and we can expect a 

 full showing soon. Some early flowered 

 inside stock sells well at from $1 to $2 

 per dozen. The Japanese lilies have 

 not sold so well during the last ten days 

 as they did formerly, and the public is 

 apparently tired of them. This may be 

 caused, in a measure, by the quantities 

 of poor flowers of this article that have 

 been shipped to town recently. 



Gladioli and dahlias move slowly. 



Ferns in Flats and 2^m. Pots 



Strong plants in all the leading varieties. Also

People -will not buy these flowers unless 

 they are quite fine. Amaryllis is in 

 the same way. Valley is fair and sells 

 well. Orchids are not in sufficient 

 quantities to fill orders. Other kinds 

 of stock are about as usual.
