PORTLAND. ORE. 



A stranger traveling from the East 

 and accustomed to living in a thickly 

 settled and highly cultivated country 

 would not, on his first visit, be very 

 favorably impressed with the prospect oi 

 some of the Western states. l"or hun- 

 dreds of miles j-ou can travel over the 

 deserts of Wyoming, Utah and Idaho 

 and see no signs of life, only a few herds 

 of cattle and occasionally a forlorn-look- 

 ing jackrabbit. Conditions change, 

 though, on reaching the "Webb-foot 

 State," and a half-day's ride over the 

 Union Pacific takes you through a pic- 

 turesque country along the banks of the 

 •Columbia river (the Hudson of the 

 West), when you reach the beautiful city 

 of Portland. 



This city has a population of 100,000 

 and is almost surrounded with hills and 

 dense forests. The climate is not un- 

 comfortably warm and store trade has 

 been active all summer with plenty of 

 good materials to do business with, ex- 

 cepting rcses. Here you see sweet peas, 

 coreopsis, zinnias, asters, and, in fact, 

 all garden flowers grown to any size you 

 want them, and are being used extrava- 

 gantly in making window decorations. 



The firm of Clarke Bros, consists of 

 three enterprising young men who started 

 here ten years ago in a very small way 

 and have built up an extensive business. 

 They own a fine range of 40.000 feet of 

 glass at Mount Taber, a suburban town, 

 where the writer found Frank Clarke 

 wearing the badge of authority, and saw 

 carnation plants three feet high and 

 blooms three inches across 



We learned that during the rainy sea- 

 son and winter months the cut is verv

light, but the plants make a healthy, 

 vigorous growth, which accounts for the 

 great feast of carnations from April 1 to 

 September 1. 



Five years ago this firm opened a store 

 on Morrison street, and Albert Clarke, 

 who manages this branch of the business, 

 justly deserves the praise for his business 

 integrity and for his efforts in advancing 

 floriculture in Portland. The store is 

 beautifully furnished, and is said to be 

 the finest in the Northwest. They also 

 own 35,000 feet of glass in Oakland, Cal., 

 which was built to grow flowers for the 

 Portland store in the winter months. 

 Ealph Clarke has charge of this liranch. 



Another progressive firm which has es- 

 tablished a good business here is Martin 

 & Forbes. They met with reverses at 

 first, but weathered the stcrms, and dur- 

 ing the past five years have built a range 

 of 35,000 feet of glass, which is equipped 

 with all modern improvements, ilr. Mar- 

 tin superintends the growing and all stock 



shows good care. Mr. Forbes gives all liis 

 attention to the downtown store,, and says 

 that the business shows a satisfactory in- 

 crease every year. 



L. G. Pfunder is the oldest florist here, 

 and has been doing well financially for 

 twenty years. The grounds surrounding 

 his residence and store are the prettiest 

 in the city. The talented ^liss Eose 

 Pfunder looks after her father's inteiests 

 at the store. H. J. M.
