more than adequate for all demands 

 and there seems to be more than the 

 usual quantity of outdoor flowers ped- 

 dled by itinerant growers, who, if they 

 serve no other purpose, help to fill the 

 stores with cheap stock, the handling 

 of which brings little profit to grower 

 or retailer. There is an abundance of 

 sweet peas and they retain their keep- 

 ing qualities longer than usual. A few 

 outdoor gladioli are offered and irises 

 are plentiful. The summer prices of 

 carnations are slightly better than 

 usual. The outdoor roses are becoming 

 scarcer and it almost pays to take them 

 to the stores now. 



Cucumber growers are making more 

 money than usual, despite the strong 

 outdoor opposition, and the tomato mar- 

 ket is improving. Nearly all growers 

 have to rely on one or another of these 

 vegetables as a part of, in some cases 

 all of, their summer crop. The favor- 

 able returns they now are receiving 

 help to cheer the erstwhile mournful 

 greenhousemen. 



Various Notes. 



Ralph Richardson is the proud father 

 of a bonny wee lassie, born last week, 

 and smiles predominate at the green- 

 houses — even Uncle Joe is tickled to 

 death. 



Thomas Rhoades was called away 

 from the Woodlawn store on account of 

 the serious illness of his mother. 



Carl Melby has purchased the Flower 

 Shop, on Pike street, which he will 

 operate in connection with his green- 

 houses at Madison park. 



W. Hawkins now has secured the en- 

 tire interest in the Seattle Pottery Co.

The Market. 



Cool weather checked the receipts of 

 outdoor flowers last week and the calls 

 for funerals, weddings and home deco- 

 rations took the surplus. Since the first 

 of June shippers have been able to fill 

 all orders, but there has been no waste 

 to speak of. Including outdoor flowers, 

 there probably are more varieties of- 

 fered in midsummer than at any other 

 season. Prices are normal and little 

 price cutting is done. 



The Sweet Pea Show. 



The Oregon Sweet Pea Society held 

 a successful show in the auditorium of 

 the Meier & Frank department store, 

 July 12 and 13. Although the date was 

 later than usual, the late opening of the 

 summer season brought the flowers into 

 prime condition and the display was of 

 unusually high quality, both as to 

 bloom and stem. The number of entries

was nearly double that of last year's 

 and included several exhibits by flo- 

 rists. 



Henry Clemmens, of Newberg, Ore., 

 had the largest exhibit in the commer- 

 cial growers' class, showing seventy 

 varieties in about 100 vases. In the 

 amateur classes entries were made by 

 growers of Oregon and Washington. 

 Decorated tables and set pieces filled 

 one side of the room. 



Aside from sweet peas, there was an 

 interesting exhibit of delphiniums by 

 Charles F. Barber. Max Smith showed 

 a basket of Gladiolus Mrs. Lehmann. 

 The Mountain View Floral Co. occupied 

 a corner with a display of roses and per- 

 ennials. R. R. Routledge, Max Smith 

 and Henry Clemmens were the society's 

 committee on arrangements. 



President J. H. Dundore said the so- 

 ciety was growing and in a most satis- 

 factory condition. Henry Clemmens re- 

 marked that the season was favorable 

 for producing high-g^ade sweet pea 

 seed and that his crop was in splendid
