The Market. 



A spell of summer weather last week 

 was rendered disagreeable by a strong 

 east wind, which continued for several 

 days — drying and trying to the grow- 

 ers. Possibly the weather was the chief 

 cause for the slump in business. Fu- 

 neral work was light and there was but 

 little activity in other lines. Displays 

 at the stores consist principally of out- 

 door-grown stock. Quantities of helian- 

 thus are used in decorations. 



The Multnomah County Fair. 



The annual fair of Multnomah county 

 was held at the Gresham grounds, Sep- 

 tember 12 to 16. Special prizes amount- 

 ing to $250 were offered through H. A. 

 Lewis, of the fair association, to mem- 

 bers of the Portland Floral Society, for 

 outdoor beds filled with bedding stock 

 and perennials. The sum was divided 

 into seven first and six second prizes, 

 so tliat each bed was awarded a prize. 

 Those competing werei Tonaeth Floral 

 Co., Gill Bros. Seed Co., Routledge Seed 

 & Floral Co., Swiss Floral Co., Moun- 

 tain View Floral Co., Zimmerman Bros., 

 John Zimmerman, William Dungey, Sr., 

 and William Dungey, Jr. Some of the 

 beds were planted too late to be in 

 first-class condition and the flowers had 

 been injured by recent rains. The gen- 

 eral effect, however, was .pleasing and 

 added much to the attractiveness of the 

 fair grounds. From the experience thus 

 acquired, a better display can be ar- 

 ranged next year. 



The Portland Floral Society arranged 

 the beds through a committee consist- 

 ing of Otto Griesael, chairman; R. R. 

 Routledge and J. G. Bacher. For the 

 fair association A. T. Gale was in 

 charge.

 center of the main half was decorated

ROMNEYA COULTERI 



(MATILIJA POPPY) 



The difficult.v in raising this grand plant 

 from untreated seed is well known. For many 

 years GaorB* SoutbaTd, of Badlands, has 

 treated his seed and can absolutel.v guarantee 

 at least 90 per cent germination. The Southard 

 process consists of removitig the glutinous seal 

 with which this seed is coated in the natural 

 condition so that instead qf waiting two or 

 tnree years, as in the past, growers of this noble 

 plant can obtain seedlings in two months. The 

 genuine treated seed can onl.y be obtained from 

 us direct, and the price to the trade is: 



59c per packet of \ 000 seeds 



$3.50 per dozen packets

other fiowers that compete with asters a 

 better chance. Chrysanthemums are 

 beginning to attract more attention, 

 the market being well supplied with 

 many different varieties, which show 

 excellent quality. Crocker and Gold 

 Nugget are popular yellows; Monrovia 

 and Crystal Gem take a prominent 

 place among the whites, and Portola is 

 starting out well. Some chrysanthe- 

 mums now are being shipped and the 

 consignments will no doubt increase 

 rapidly in size from now on. The car- 

 nation supply is still moderate, the 

 flowers being quite good but the stems 

 short. However, each day's offerings 

 show improvement in quality and good, 

 long stems surely will be in evidence 

 in another week or two. The present 

 supplies clean up fairly well at low 

 prices.
