The Florists^ Review

city and for the flower industry. The 

 roses of Portland are becoming famous 

 the world over for their beauty and 

 profusion of flowers. Why? Have the 

 florists of this city made them so, or 

 made an effort at least? The answer, 

 while sad, is "No." The amateurs in 

 rose growing, through their combined 

 efforts as the Portland Eose Society, 

 have made the roses so popular here, 

 while the professional florists have been 

 idly sitting by and reaping a harvest 

 which might have been double if the 

 trade had been united and had sup- 

 ported the amateurs in their work of 

 publicity for the roses in our city. 

 Only if united will we be able to ac- 

 complish worthy results in the future. 



Here is another point not to be over- 

 looked by our newly formed organiza- 

 tion: There is much wealth in our 

 city which is spent for vanity in dif- 

 ferent channels, and with little benefit 

 to the spender, the city or its interests. 

 Judicious work, therefore, in educating 

 the public to appreciate the beauties 

 of nature in flower gardens and well 

 planned and executed plantings sur- 

 rounding homes, and to appreciate the 

 use of better cut flowers and more of 

 them, would result in undreamed of 

 prosperity in all lines of our noble 

 trade. This would add to the charm of 

 our city, result in better parks and 

 more cheerful homes, and then only 

 half is told. Just think how much idle 

 money is spent for the ridiculous and 

 obstructive! For instance, there is the 

 merry widow hat; how little satisfac- 

 tion it gives its wearer or those becom- 

 ing acquainted with it in trolley cars! 

 How much better this money could be 

 spent in a fragrant bouquet, a delight 

 to its wearer and to others! But mind 

 you, this takes constant, united effort 

 and publicity in educating the public. 

 The task is too large for individuals 

 and that is why, if our interests are 

 to be taken care of, we must all join 

 in order that we may all gain. 



Not only every florist, gardener and 

 nurseryman in the trade in this city 

 should belong to the Portland Floral 

 Society, but all those who do business in 

 the state of Oregon. You are all wel- 

 come in our new society and we expect 

 you to join in the near future. 



We shall be doing great things in the 

 future, as the Pacific northwest is 

 going to be the most prosperous section 

 of our great country, for nowhere is 

 the climate more ideal and the soil more 

 productive. Destructive storms are un- 

 Known; hail insurance is not needed. 

 More will be heard from Oregon yet.
