A Benefit Dance
At a meeting, held at Vincents
Restaurant last Thursday when
new’ express rates on cut flower»
were discussed. Central Transfer
offered the best rate, and prob
ably the most service to growers
of the area. Bids were submitted
by Greyhound and by Rader's
Flying service.
Greyhound quoted $6.40 per
cwt. for flowers to Portland and
$8.30 to Seattle. Mr. Hutchinson,
representing the company, said
extra buses would be put on at
the peak of the daffodil season
to speed delivery. This rate will
be in effect until May 1. He
wanted local growers to agree
among themselves so that ship
ments could be “staggered,” so
the three existing schedules of
the day would carry an equal
amount.
Dave Franklin, representing
his own company, Coast Freight
Lines, quoted $4.99 to Portland,
with delivery to the door of the
buyer, or to an air port if fur
ther shipment was to be made.
To Seattle he quoted $6.81 per
cwt., promising delivery in Seat
tle at 2 p. m. of the day after
pickup would be made here at
10 a. m. Delivery about Seattle
is included in this quotation.
Mr. Franklin told the growers
the flowers would be in Portland
at 2 a. m. in plenty time for
morning delivery and sale.
Mr. Rader, representing his
own air freight line, quoted 50c
per ton mile on shipments. He
said he could place shipments at
Spokane within four hours after
loading here, or in other places
in comparable time. His plane
will carry about a ton of boxed
flowers.
Future In Industry
R. M. Knox, county agent, in
conducting the meeting, told the
growers that the floriculture re
turns of Curry county today ag
gregated about ii half million
dollars annually. He suggested,
and was corroborated by Ralph
Clark, crops specialist of OSC,
that this figure could easily be
jumped to a million, by increas
ing the cut flow’er trade of the
narcissus family, and to include
heather, gladiolus, iris and as
ters. Acacia, he said, is another
profitable crop if properly han
dled in this area.
To accomplish this million
dollar industry, growers should
provide themselves with a mar
keting expert or company, and
produce only the highest quality
product.
“Flowers are something people
want and will have at all oc
casions. If you have the best on
the market, and I know you can
produce it, then the whole nation
w’ould look to this area for their
flowers, especially in the winter
time,” he said.
