SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Last week did not see any marked 

 change in business conditions. The 

 greenhousemen are hurrying to get 

 pipes in their new houses before frosts 

 come. The appearance of cooler weather, 

 following light rains during 'the last 

 few days, is a reminder that killing 

 frosfcs arernot many days away. Light 

 frostisl- wdte n^jjeed as i^ficl* as two 

 weeks ago. 



Lot»l business i» ffither quie,t. ^^.d 

 would' be d^dedly did! at times were 

 it not for crdr-rs from small-town 

 agents. The local aster is showing a 

 decided improvement in quality, some 

 good displays of this, Spokane's munic- 

 ipal flower, having been made by ama- 

 ' teur growers at the Interstate fair. 

 Eubrum lilies, Ophelia roses and gla- 

 dioli, in addition to asters, rule the 

 market as regards quality stock. Car- 

 nations are of indifferent quality, and 

 the same may be said of all roses 

 but Ophelia. This rose promises to be- 

 come more popular than ever with the 

 flower buyers, as well as with the 

 growers. 



Varioiis Notes. 



Peters Bros, have completed . three 

 new houses, which will be devoted to 

 vegetables. One house is 12x100 and 

 the other two each 35x210. TJiis addi- 

 tion brings their total glass up to about 

 50,000 feet. They gr6w a general line 

 of stock for the Spokane and Hillyard 

 markets, with special attention to to- 

 matoes and cucumbers. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. has completed a 

 rose house 25x100 feet and a smaller 

 house for cyclamens. 



Messrs. Bernson and Halle, of the 

 Glenrose Greenhouse Co., have enlarged 

 their range this summer by the addi- 

 tion of two houses, one house 18x100, 

 planted to mums, and one 35x250, 

 planted to carnations. At this place 

 two houses planted to early spring to- 

 matoes gave excellent returns with 

 early fruit, and, later, in competition 

 with outdoor-grown stock, brought top 

 prices in a ready market because of 

 superior quality. These are the boys 

 who last year surprised the town with 

 their splendid sweet peas. Their suc- 

 cess was 80 pleasing to all concerned 

 that they are preparing to double their 

 output this season. 



A change involving two well known 

 business houses of the northwest took 

 place a few weeks ago, when A. Rahn, 

 of Rahn & Herbert, Portland, Ore., sev- 

 ered his connection with that firm and 

 purchased an interest in the Spokane 

 Greenhouse Co., of Marshall, Wash. 

 Mr. Rahn will reside at Spokane and 

 take an active part in the management 

 of the company's greenhouse range at 

 Marshall, devoting his attention to pot 

 plants in particular. The growing of 

 the cut flower stock will remain under 

 the direction of N. R. Wollan, who has 

 been with the concern for some months. 

 John Austin will continue as business

 We were certainly pleased with the results secured from your Seed last year and 

 florists who visited the University greenhouses said they were the finest sweet peas 

 they had ever seen. They made an unusually strong growth and produced great Quanti-

WARNIHGx— There are or will be advertised many so-called new Winter Spencers. I 

 have .seen many new names on the Exhibition tables, but by careful examination all were 

 identical with my older Winter Orchid, years in commerce, excepting the Tarrawa. Should 

 you buy any such so-called novelty, test it side by side with my original varieties and 

 judge for yourself. •
