nections. Mrs. Darbee aow reports all 

 tho shipping business ^he can handle 

 and she is figuring on increasing her 

 facilities either by enlarging her place 

 on Hyde street or opening a downtown 

 wholesale establishment. She is send- 

 ing out quantities of straw daisies, as- 

 ters, chrysanthemums, rubrum lilies, 

 roses, etc. 



J. B. Pagano is back on duty with 

 Pelicano, Rossi & Co., after a pleasant 

 vacation in southern California. 



Charles McAuliffe, an experienced 

 and well known florist, has accepted a 

 position at the E. W. McLellan Co. 

 wholesale establishment. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. has a won- 

 derful crop of gardenias coming on and 

 considers the outlook for the season 

 better than ever before. This company 

 has been shipping amaryllis with suc- 

 cess.

SPOKANE, WASH. 



Rains and lower temperatures recent- 

 ly were sufficiently cooling to warrant 

 steam in most of the ranges around 

 town. Frosts were noticed by early 

 risers, but none were severe enough to 

 do damage.^ . 9^ ^^^ contrary, cooler 

 weather has been beneficial, especially 

 to asters, which are among the most 

 important of the cut flowers just now. 

 Thrips have been severe on asters and 

 dahlias this season, but tho cooler 

 weather is saving the plants. 



The aster is Spokane's oflScial flower, 

 and wonderful blooms are produced each 

 year. The best this year have come 

 from the gardens of Hutchinson & Sons. 

 Their specialty is sweet peas, and these 

 have been fully equal in quality to the 

 standard established in previous years. 



Henry Reimer has had chrysanthe- 

 mums from his range at Reimer 's sta- 

 tion for several weeks. He is the first 

 of the local growers to bring mums into 

 the market and reports a ready sale for 

 them, which is somewhat unusual for 

 early muJns. 



H. L. Olsson expected to have Golden 

 Glow and Early Frost chrysanthemums 

 ready for market by September 20. As 

 this is the time when first killing frosts 

 isually come, he should strike a good 

 market with his crop. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. is -making prog- 

 ress with its alterations at the store on 

 Post street, but the work is necessarily 

 hampered by the business going on 

 under the ladders and scaffolds. Tho 

 new arrangements promise to make this 

 store the handiest and best planned ono 

 in the country. 



The Van Doren greenhouses at Post 

 Falls have been leased to Farrell Mc- 

 Cormick for a term of three years. Mr. 

 McCormick took possession July 1. The 

 range will continue to produce a general 

 stock of cut flowers and plants for the 

 Spokane market, though many ship- 

 ments are made to Idaho points. 



F. N. Young, of Post Falls, was a re- 

 cent visitor. September 5 he leased and 

 took possession of the Post Falls green- 

 houses, formerly owned and conducted 

 by P. A. Wollan. Mr. Young was in the 

 employ of Mr. Van Doren for several 

 years, so he is well acquainted with con- 

 ditions at Post Falls.

 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 auanti- 

 ties of blooms. CHAS. B. SAYKE, instructor in Floriculture.

I have received over 1000 such testimonials inside of ten months. 



WARNING:— There are or will be advertised many so-called new Winter Spencei^s. 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.
