ALTHOUGH PorUand florists have
decided not to hold a flower show
v this season, chrysanthemums and
other choice blooms are being- displayed
in the shops in all their profusion and
beauty.
The flowers which now flood the
Portland shops bring- cheer into the
busy thoroughfares before , the ffor-S-eous.
- fragrant blooms leave to
brighten a sick room, decorate a home
or adorn the appearance of a fair young-
Of the flower's which are most com.
monly associated with Fall, and espe-

mum stands out prominently ahead of
an ocners. Its great beauty, Imposing
Bize, varied color and splendid hardi
ness have made this flower the fa
vorite. mere is scarcely any, limit to the
number of varieties and this may be
due to the fact that each 10 years sees
ciiurwy new varieties, because alee.- a
specie is developd fuI it begins to
deteriorate and the hybrid plants begin
to send forth finer bl ms, so the
once-popular variety entirely disap
pears. The large white William Turner
chrysanthemum is the most popular va
riety at present. The Harvard, a gen
uine crimson introduced for tlie first
time this season, is another which will
be much in demand, according to James
J'"orbes, a Portland grower. Tnia pink
Jerome Jones. Yellow Eaton, UoJden
Kagle and Dr. Enguehard are other
varieties noted for their beauty.
Variety of Tastes Wide.
Each person has a favorite flowar
based upon color, size or fragrance.
Men choose dark-colored flowers,
women want light shades, Chinese want
a bouquet of every color and negroes
invariably select white flowers. "White
flowers are always the most fragrant.
The orchid Is the rarest flower of
the kingdom. It is a criterion for a
lover of flowers to Judge a collection
by. A. J. Clarke is perhaps the best
informed man in Portland on the sub
ject of orchids. He says that orchids
of innumerable variety are found from
the Arctic to the Antarctic, but the fin
est varieties come from tr.e tropics,
especially Brazil and Colombia.
Orchids are parasites and are ex
pensive because it is difficult to obtain
them and they cannot be ropasrated by
florists as other plants. The fresh
bulbs must be imported and this Is
causing some of the more popular va
rieties to disappear Lcra. The finest
orchid plants are bought up by Euro
pean collectors. None of toe varieties
is fragrant but the blooms average $1
apiece. The raoet popular is the Cat
tleyas. in white, pink and lavender.
Another is the Lablata. pink with crim
son and maroon markings. Orchids
are produced all the year round, six
varieties will keep them In market
cyery month. ,
Gladlolua la Popular,
Perhaps the most interesting hot
house flower is the gladiolus, so called
on account of its flat, sword-like spike.
W. L. Crissey has one of the finest col
lections on his place at the confluence
of Bull Run and Sandy .River.
It was to the gladioli that King Sol
omon is supposed to have referred
when he spoke of the lilies of the
field. There are more than 50 varie
ties and the flower is one of the few
which has three colors, red, blue and
yellow. These beautiful plants are so
common in the Orient that they are
used for fuel.' Yet there are varieties
commanding J10 for a single bulb.
Mr. Crissey has had gladioli bloom
ing in the open from the middle of
July to the middle of November, and,
of course, they are produced all the
year around in conservatories. The
most common varieties come from
France and Holland. The United States
now is producing some distinct varie
ties, the bulbs of which are worth their
weight in silver. Luther Burbank has
produced some varieties which bloom
all around the stem, but the ones which
bloom only on one side are considered
finer.
Patted Ptanta In HlKh Favor.
Other popular flowers are potted
plants which take the place of cut
flowers in the holiday season. B.
Tonseth, an expert, says the Tritoma,
Alpine Violet and Gloxinia are among
the most popular in Portland. Mr.
Tonseth says that flowers are forced

or held back as the occasion demands;
at present they are being held back
for Thanksgiving.
Another important factor is that
lilies of the valley may be off the mar
ket by January 1 because they come
from Germany and the supply is shut
off. Bulbs are scarce here now. Aza
lias, rhododendron and yellow daffo
dils or narcissi come from Holland and
Belgium, but there is a large supply
on hand It is cheaper to import them
plants than to grow them in the United
States, as the wages here make the
digging alone greater than the cost
of importation.
Portlanders need scarcely be told
about roses, the official flower of the
city, yet there is always, aomething new
in the lovely blooms. The Ophelia, sal
mon pink with yellow shading-, and
Killarney Brilliant, a deep pink, are
new this year, but next year will see
the Hoosier Beauty, a dark crimson,
long- cane stems, bronze green -foliage,
as it is being produced by an Indiana
grower. It is declared this will be the
finest rose from all standpoints ever
shown to the public.
"Kew Caraatloa Varietlea Offered. '
Carnations are always-staple flowers
and easy to obtain at anv time In the
year. The Herold and the Champion
are two new, rich, bright scarlet varie
ties offered for the first time to a dis
criminating buyer. The Esther, a deep
pink, is another addition. The Gor
geous and Enchantress varieties also
are popular.
Flower lovers want flowers ahead of
the season. Sweet peas and panstes.
for instance, are popular- in the early
Spring months before they bloom out
side. Violets are the most popular corsage
flower and some dealers handle them
exclusively. The single blue violet Is
the most popular in Portlan on ac
count, of its richness of color and long
stems. The double perhaps Is more
fragrant. There Is also a sweet-scented
double white violet a-hiK
attractive corsage bouquet. ,

perennial fern is the most satisfactory.
The common brake, which may be
found growing in the city limits of
Portland, has been developed by a flor
ist named Plerson at Tarrytown, N. Y.,

p. ant.

of musical training."
Miss A del Barnickel, one of the busi
est of Portland's young sopranos, and
who is studying singing' under the
direction of A. Musgrove Roharts. has
been adding fresh laurels during the
past week. Thursday, Miss Barnickel
was soloist at a musicale at the resi
dence of Mrs. J. O'Donnell, Grant street,

when she won success. At tonight's
special musical service at St. Mary's
Cathedral, Miss Barnickel will sing
one of A Musgrove Robarts composi
tions, "Still With Thee." This song is
characterized by a charming melody
and is one of a group of songs pub
lished by Mr. Robarts during the past
year. , Frederick W. Goodrich, organist
of St. Mary's, saw the song when it
was in manuscript, and liked it so well
that Mr. Robarts dedicated it to him.

consin Club, last Thursday, this musical
programme was rendered by Joseph A.

baritone, will sing his latest composi
tion entitled "The Ever-Present God."
This solo is the fourth of a series of
five which Mr. Robarts has undertaken
to write and sing during the month of
November. These solos, composed and
sung by Mr. Robarts, are attracting
wide attention. Mr. Robarts" fine
baritone voice, and his graceful Inter
pretation of what he sings, are de
servedly admired. The fact that Mr.
Robarts was to sing the solos men
tioned was printed in The Oregonian
of November 1.

To the many who have come to love
and appreciate the songs of Edith
Haines-Kuester it will be 'welcome to
know that the first two of the cyclo
"Garden Songs" have Just been pub
lished by the Irvington PresB. of Port
land. The songs are "To a Crocus" and
"The Buttercup," and are now in the
harftis of music dealers. A particular
interest attaches these songs to Fort
land, as Mrs. Kuester was inspired to
lovely music by the poems of Mrs.
Florence Crawford. In addition to
having been rendered at the various
lectures of Mrs. Crawford, these songs
were all sung at the different meetings
of the New Thought Convention held
here last June, and they have endeared
themselves to many. A critic writes:
"A deep spiritual meaning underlies
the poems" which has been consistently
maintained in the songs, and in these
times of spiritual unfoldment It Is
hoped that they will touch the secret
spring in many who are seeking to find
an expression of spiritual truth In
poetry and music
