POSTLAND, OBE. 



! The Iiiarket. 



Bright, warm weather, following sev- 

 eral dayi of rain, brought the outdoor 

 flowers into bloom rapidly last week. 

 While some of the blooms were dam- 

 aged, the rain improved the plants and 

 the cut was unusually good. Nearly all 

 varieties were too abundant to be ab- 

 sorbed by the demands of the market. 

 Sweet peas were never of better quality 

 and seldom so cheap. The first dahlias 

 have appeared and early Comet asters 

 are offered. Some beautiful gladioli are 

 shown. There still are a few Easter 

 lilies, and rubrums and auratums are 

 to be had. The blooms of Buddleia 

 variabilis are favorites. 



A few pot plants are offered, such as 

 tuberous begonias, fuchsias, gloxinias, 

 celosias and hydrangeas. There a e 

 enough indoor roses to meet the de- 

 mand, with Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Eussell, 

 Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty in the lead. 

 There is a shortage of white roses. 

 Cattleya gigas and Gaskelliana are pro- 

 ducing a few blooms of splendid qual- 

 ity. Funeral work was good in the 

 first part of last week, but the demand 

 decreased later to normal summer con- 

 ditions. 



dub Meeting. 



The newly elected oflicers of the Port- 

 land Floral Society took their seats at 

 the meeting held July 18. The reports 

 of Secretary Niklas and Treasurer 

 Forbes showed a balance in the treas- 

 ury of about $200, with all bills paid 

 and the average yearly expense less 

 than the average returns from dues. 

 President Walker briefly reviewed the 

 events of the last year, concluding with 

 the statement that the year could be 

 considered one of good achievement and 

 that the society was starting on its fifth 

 year with brighter prospects than ever. 

 He emphasized the value of cooperation 

 among the different branches of the 

 trade. 



F. A. Van Kirk, secretary of the 

 growers' committee, reported that he 

 had a nearly complete list of buyers 

 covering the districts supplied frt)m 

 Portland, with reports on their credit 

 ratings, which were available to all 

 society members. He urged all mem- 

 bers to report promptly all delinquents. 

 H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult- 

 nomah county fair, reported that the 

 fourteen plots prepared for planting 

 competitive exhibits had all been filled. 

 He asked for assistance in planning a 

 new style of decorations for the exhibi- 

 tion pavilions. He invited the members 

 to attend a Grange picnic at the fair 

 grounds July 29. 



James 0. Convill, who had charge of 

 the floral center, reported that the 

 Chamber of Commerce had not made 

 payments to the festival board as 

 promptly as had been agreed and for 

 this reason the florists had not received 

 their money. J. B. Pilkington and 

 James Forbes were appointed a commit- 

 tee to see that the money be paid as 

 soon as possible. 



It was voted to hold a picnic Sunday, 

 August 6, at Schnoerr's park, near 

 Oregon City, where the outing was held 

 last year. Employees, families and 

 friends of society members will be wel- 

 come. Betail stores will close so far as 

 practicable and a large attendance is 

 expected.
