The Florists' Review 



Junk' 26, 1918. 



is making a phenomenal growth, the 

 Eillarnejs especially. 



H. B. Bichards. 



PORTLAND, OBE. 



The Market. 



Business conditions last week were 

 quite satisfactory. The call was vftried) 

 weddings, funerals and graduations, as 

 well as a good store trade, kept things 

 moving. Stock was plentiful. Carna- 

 tions are gradually getting scarce, but 

 Enchantress is more plentiful. Eoses 

 are also becoming scarce, except Kaisey- 

 ins and Carnots, which are producing 

 good cuts. Sweet peas are comijrg i^j 

 well from outside; the Spencer -varie- 

 ties are extensively grown. . There is a 

 scarcity of blooming plants; ramblers 

 and hydrangeas are about all that are 

 available. 



Various Notes. 



For the last fortnigjit the^ n^rsery-- 

 men's conventions were the pniicipal 

 subject of trade discussion- here. The 

 full reports appeared in the Nursery De- 

 partment last week and this week. 

 Among those who exhibited were the 

 Mastodon Pansy Gardens, which made 

 a nice showing, and Zimmerman Bros., 

 who staged cut blooms of perennials. 



Fred Young, of Walla Walla, Wash., 

 has recently taken in a partner. The 

 firm is to be known as Young & Lester. 



John Olsen, the local woodsman, is 

 being congratulated on the arrival of 

 a baby girl. There seems to be no race 

 suicide among the local florists. 



Paul Biegelmann is sending some 

 choice sweet peas to the local markets.

The Market. 



The weather continues rather warm, 

 with no abatement in the quantities of 

 stock being sent into town. Work for 

 school commencements forms the bulk 

 of the retail trade. There has also 

 been a fair amount of wedding work, 

 which has been well distributed among 

 the various stores. Funeral orders, on 

 the other hand, have not been numer- 

 ous for the last few weeks. It is still 

 useless to attempt to give wholesalers' 

 quotations, as there seems to be no fixed 

 price for anything. Sweet peas are not 

 as plentiful as they usually are at this 

 time and the chances are that they will 

 be still scarcer in the near future. 

 Irises are over for the season. Gladioli 

 are about in their prime and they move 

 fairly well, but at lower prices than 

 last year. Dahlias are commencing to 

 put in an appearance, but it will be 

 several weeks before they will be plen- 

 tiful. 



Various Notes. 



Leo Dederichs, well known to the 

 retail trade here, is on a few weeks' 

 visit to the northern part of the state. 



George Fitzgerald is at present with 

 the C. C. Navlet Co., at the firm's San 

 Jose nurseries. 



The Alameda County Floral ^ociety 

 held its regular monthly meeting on the 

 evening of June 16, in the Hotel Oak- 

 land. 



Thomas Kulpenoski is in town, with 

 the intention of locating here. He has

I should be much obliged if you could 

 tell me of the best way to kill bugs of 

 the kind of which I enclose sample. My
