The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOVSMBBB 3, 1910. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business has shown a great increase. 

 Activity is displayed everywhere and 

 in every branch of the trade. Weddings 

 are numerous. Aside from these, how- 

 ever, there is little going on socially — 

 only small affairs. General stock is im- 

 proving. 



Mums are plentiful. Queen, Buckee, 

 Alice Byron and Bonnaffon lead in qual- 

 ity. Carnations are more plentiful, with 

 a daily clean-up. Eoses are improving 

 in quality and quantity. Maryland is 

 the leader in pink and Kaiserin in 

 white. Dahlias are plentiful in various 

 shades, but are poor sellers. Cyclamens 

 and miniature mums are about the only 

 flowering plants on the market. 



Various Note^. 



At the greenhouses the forces are 

 busy potting up the lilies for the com- 

 ing season. 



The grand opening of the Olds, Wort- 

 man & King department store created 

 an unusual demand for plants and bas- 

 ket arrangements, unprecedented in the 

 history of the city. 



G. W. Pennebaker, of Albany, was in 

 the city in the interests of the nursery 

 business. E. R. C.

The Market. 



The weather has turned slightly cool- 

 er, much to the relief of the general 

 public and the florists. We had been 

 treated to several weeks of unexpected 

 and unusually hot, dry days, and the 

 results were that a great amount of 

 stock was dumped on the market and 

 prices and quality went a-glimmering. 

 But with the return of our natural 

 November conditions, we expect a 

 quick resumption of trade and a much 

 better quality of stock. 



Chrysanthemums are all the rage at 

 present and, now that normal conditions 

 prevail, they are fully up to the high 

 standard of last year. The best outside 

 stock can be bought at $1.50 to $3 

 per hundred and for inside flowers the 

 cost to the retailers is about the same 

 as last season. Carnations are cheaper 

 than they were a year ago at this time, 

 but the weather can be blamed for 

 this also, and they may be expected 

 to rise in price at any time. With roses 

 there is a good demand for good stock, 

 but for several reasons there is a 

 scarcity of it in the market. A major- 

 ity of the growers have not yet been 

 able to cut any really first-class flowers 

 from the recently planted houses, and 

 until they do so we cannot expect much 

 fancy stock. 



With other lines the conditions are 

 about as usual, with nothing particular 

 to mention. Business is fully as good 

 as at this time one year ago and every- 

 one feels that we are going to have a 

 good early-winter trade. 



Various Notes.

 weeks spent in the southern part of the
