large catalogue descriptive of the prod- 

 ucts of the Eureka nursery. 



One of the largest shippers of plu- 

 mosus in California, Walter Armacost 

 & Co., of Sawtelle, are planning to in- 

 crease their facilities for growing this 

 asparagus. Five acres adjoining the 

 company's place at Fifteenth and La 

 Grange streets have been purchased and 

 lath houses for plumosus will be erected 

 on this. Three and one-half acres are 

 already planted to plumosus and over 

 125,000 of the plants are potted. Alto- 

 gether the firm will have more than 

 twelve acres devoted to flowers and 

 plants. It now has 125,000 square feet 

 of glass and plans have been drawn for 

 two additional houses, each 27x207 feet.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



"fhe weather this summer has been 

 ideal for growing outdoor stock and 

 field-grown carnation plants are un- 

 usually thrifty and strong. Indoor 

 roses, cut from new stock, are abundant 

 and of fine quality. Carnation plants 

 benched early are beginning to bloom. 

 Last week several cloudy days, with 

 light showers, succeeded the previous 

 warm spell and the weather seemed 

 more like midfall than midsummer. As- 

 ters are the ruling flowers. Orchids 

 and valley are scarce. Ophelia, Hoosier 

 Beauty, Hadley and Mrs. Eussell are 

 the leading roses. Business has been 

 stimulated by the cool weather and is 

 a little above normal. There were sev- 

 eral funerals which used a quantity of 

 flowers and weddings and other social 

 events kept the stores fairly busy with 

 decorative orders. 



Many varieties of outdoor flowers 

 are offered, gladioli, gaillardias, irises, 

 helianthus and snapdragons leading. 

 Sweet peas still come in, but their 

 season is virtually over. Carnations cut 

 from old plants are shown and there 

 are enough of them to supply the de- 

 mand. Chrysanthemums are coming on 

 finely and the earliest varieties soon will 

 be in. 



Club Meeting. 



The Portland Floral So'ciety held its 

 regular meeting August 15. Eoutine 

 business and a talk on dahlias by E. H. 

 White took up the time of the ses- 

 sion. Mr. White had several vases 

 filled with mixed dahlias and he gave 

 the history and characteristics of each. 

 As a boutonniere he wore a Pierrot dah- 

 lia eight inches in diameter. He stated 

 that his company had 1,400 plants, with 

 660 varieties in its show garden, and 

 was introducing 225 new varieties this 

 year. Van Dyke, which was voted the 

 award for popularity at the show last 

 year, had proved the best seller. He 

 recommended the collarette varieties 

 as good keepers. 



This season, he said, had been favor- 

 able for thrifty growth, but the cool 

 weather produced an abundant crop of 

 aphis. A short discussion arose as to 

 the keeping qualities of Minnie Burgle 

 and it was stated that several growers 

 had brought in blooms of this variety 

 that were the best keepers the retailers 

 had ever handled. 



C. B. Knickman, of McHutchison & 

 Co., New York, attended the meeting. 



Various Notes. 



Max Smith is showing some good 

 gladioli, which were grown at his range.

At the city range of the Martin »fc 

 Forbes Co. nearly all the young stock 

 is benched. Potted stock is being over- 

 hauled for fall growing. Foreman 

 George Spencer said that the favorable 

 season had produced extra fine stock 

 and his benches of carnations and mums 

 certainly bore out his statement. Sev- 

 eral successful seedlings have been 

 propagated and a number are now be- 

 ing tried out. Mr. Spencer has been 

 with the company for thirteen years and 

 is a most successful grower. At the
