The Weekly Florists^ Review.

PACIFIC COAST. 



Seattle, Wash.— The Seattle Cut 

 Flower Exchange has been opened at 

 909-11 Post street, to do a general 

 wholesale and commission business in 

 cut flowers, plants and greens. L. P. 

 Walz is president and J. A. Schnapp 

 manager. 



Monrovia, Cal. — C. A. Brunger, who 

 has greenhouses and large grounds on 

 East Greystone avenue, in this city, 

 has opened a branch store at 337 South 

 Spring street, Los Angeles. For some 

 years Mr. Brunger was chief gardener 

 for the Agricultural Department iat 

 Washington, D. C. His business here 

 has developed rapidly. 



A FLORISTS' CLIMB. 



.T. G. Bacher, the well known grower 

 of Portland, Ore., climbed Mount Hood, 

 elevation 11,250 feet, as a part of his 

 summer vacation, making a number of 

 photographs on the way. Speaking of 

 the trip, he says: 



"It had long been my desire to vis- 

 it the glaciers of Mount Hood, and 

 as the hot weather offered little induce- 

 ment to stay in the greenhouses, we 

 decided to go there. Taking the auto 

 stage for a scenic ride of about fifty- 

 eight miles over some real western 

 roads, of which many miles consisted 

 of planking eight feet wide, winding 

 through heavily timbered valleys, we 

 landed at Rhododendron, a hotel of 

 rather rustic construction, being built 

 wholly of split cedar, in bungalow 

 style, and located in a narrow valley 

 surrounded by high mountains. This 

 little resort is an ideal spot in which 

 to rest. As its name indicates, rhodo- 

 dendrons are at home here. The under- 

 growth consists almost wholly of this 

 attractive evergreen, with here and 

 there a few specimens of the rare and 

 characteristic chinkapin or Castanopsis 

 chrysophylla. From here a tramp of 

 nine miles is necessary to get to the 

 government camp, the last resort before 

 climbing the mountain. 



"After one night's rest, early morn- 

 ing finds us afoot crossing the last 

 four miles of timber, where trees are 

 dwarfed by tLo high altitude and rig- 

 orous climate, but are most charming 

 in shape and color, especially the 

 tsugas and alpine firs. The herbaceous 

 vegetation is becoming more attractive. 

 Aster Bigelovii being in full bloom in 

 many different shades. As the timber 

 line is reached, the beautiful Tyalls 

 lupine becomes conspicuous, with its 

 silvery white foliage and blue flower 

 clusters, as well as another dwarf aster 

 of the alpinus type, but unknown to 

 the writer. However, vegetation is 

 rather scarce above the timber line, 

 and one mile farther up snow and ice 

 are reached. Here the atmosphere be- 

 comes much cooler and climbing is more 

 inviting, inasmuch as no difficulties are 

 to be overcome, the altitudes rising 

 gradually. The view becomes more ex- 

 tensive at every step, but, look as far 

 as you will, the mountains and val- 

 leys are covered by timber, with sel- 

 dom a clearing where settlers are sub- 

 duing the •wilderness. Such is Oregon 

 around Mount Hood. 



"Returning over the glacier, we ob- 

 served with great interest the many 

 cracks in the ice, many of them twenty

to thirty feet deep, without revealing 

 the bottom of these giant ice masses, 

 which are the source of our streams in 

 the hot summer days. As we came 

 down we stopped in the huckleberry 

 belt, where a full crop was on and the 

 original Indians from the Warm Spring 

 reservation were harvesting loads of 

 the savory berries. As we stopped later 

 at a trading post, old Jim, of local 

 reputation, came in with four squaws 

 and ten ponies, to sell thirty-eight and 

 one-half gallons of huckleberries, gath- 

 ered in two and one-half days by his 

 'faithfuls.' The price received was 65 

 cents per gallon, which is not bad earn- 

 ings for a family of this kind. 



"A speeding auto soon brought us 

 back to our city of roses and we are 

 hard at it again, with pleasant mem- 

 ories of vacation days." 



PORTLAND. ORE. 



The Market. 



The continuous, drenching rains have 

 about ruined the outside stock. The 

 asters that are being shipped in from 

 the nearby towns are about the only 

 salvation. The gladiolus and helian- 

 thus are popular decorative flowers. Car- 

 nations are still among the almost im- 

 possible flowers; they are scarce and of 

 poor quality. Auratums and rubrums 

 have held out remarkably amd have
