64 The Florists^ Review August 30, 1917. The Hoyt Bros. Co. is taking pride in its new delivery car, which is about the most liandsome thing devised in the way of delivery service. The Spokane Florist Co. has been ex- ceptionally fortunate in landing several large decorative orders. Business has been good with the company through the summer months. A. J. Burt announced his intention of opening a store in tlie Clemmer theater building about September 1. He was formerly in business at 829 Eiverside, but retired from the retail field when he sold out to Adolph Donart last spring. L. B. H. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. The supply has exceeded the demand during the last week, there being a large supply of gladioli and asters, with but little- call for them. Golden Glow chrysanthemums have reached the mar- ket, and there are enough carnations and roses to supply the small demand. Zinnias are plentiful. Business was ex- ceptionally quiet at the retail stores last week. Society Meeting. The Portland Floral Society held its regular meeting at the Masonic Temple August 21, with about forty members present. J. II. Wood was elected a member and M. H. Gorman, curator of the Forestry building, an honorary member. - The next twelve meetings will be in the hands of an entertainment commit- tee of twelve members, each member to provide the entertainment for one meet- ing. The members of the committee are Messrs. Scott, Birchler, Zitzewitz, Pil- kington, Steele, Niklas, Gehr, Forbes, Olarke, Bacher, Dossche and Van Kirk. On the program committee are Messrs. ■Gill, Weed, Mische, Bodley, Tonseth, Smith, Feser, Eoutledge, White, Kahn, Bacher and Lewis. The other commit- tees appointed were: Exhibits, Messrs. Forbes, Clarke, Pilkington, Wood, Smith, Tonseth, Dossche, Scott, White ■and Feser; retailers, Messrs. Clarke, Forbes, Lubliner, Smith, Eoutledge and Welty; growers, Messrs. Borsch, Holden, Panzer, Zimmerman, Zitzewitz and White. The members were requested to bring to the next meeting lists of stock they have for sale and of stock they want to buy. It is contemplated that by sub- mitting the one to the retailers and the other to the growers much stock will be moved that otherwise would be lost. A plan was also announced to establish the credit ratings of florists in the northwest. Members were asked to sub- mit lists of florists with whom they do business and their ratings to Secretarv F. A. Van Kirk. There was a spirited discussion of the labor situation and it was agreed that in view of the shortage of men it will be necessary to pay $3 or $3.50 per dav for greenhouse help, the increased cost of production to be secured by raising prices. Mr. Zimmerman reported that the beds at the Gresham fair are in fine condition, there being about 2,000 square feet planted to perennials, bed- ding stock and annuals. Messrs. Pilkington and Xiklas urged all members to push the society's cam- paign for membership. All' florists, seedsmen, nurserymen and gardeners are eligible to membership, and it was
