plays made by professional and ama- 

 teur growlers. September 14, 15 and 16 

 the principal flowet* feature was the 

 dahlia show, fostered by the National 

 Dahlia Society. The several school 

 garden exhibits were specially inter- 

 esting, showing a large variety of fine 

 products grown and attractively dis- 

 played by the children. 



Various Notes. 



John W. Hauser, of New York; W. B. 

 Clarke, of Eureka, Cal., and Fred Young, 

 of Walla Walla, Wash., were recent 

 visitors. 



Ignatius A. Schmidtt, son of Mrs. 

 Eegina U. Schmidtt, died September 

 14. Mr. Schmidtt was 52 years of age 

 and had for several years been asso- 

 ciated with his mother in operating 

 greenhouses at East Ninth and Oak 

 streets. Mrs. Schmidtt is a pioneer 

 florist. 



Niklas & Son last week showed some 

 good zinnias in a variety of colors. 



Edward Boyse, of the Martin & 

 Forbes Co. store, is suffering from a 

 muscular or nervous disorder of the 

 left leg. It has been troubling him 

 since early in June. He arranged an 

 attractive window display at the new 

 store, in which a heavy gilt frame with 

 black background was decorated so 

 that it resembled a picture. James 

 Forbes, of the company, received a 2- 

 column biographical sketch in the "Men 

 You Often Bead About" column of a 

 local daily. 



Coral Van Kirk, ■daughter of F. A. 

 Van Kirk, and J. Norman Schmitt, 

 were married September 6. The young 

 couple will make their home in Port- 

 land, where Mr. Schmitt is associated 

 with his father in the planing mill 

 business. Mrs. Schmitt is popular with 

 the Portland florists and has the hearty 

 good wishes of the trade. 



Henry Clemmens, of Newberg, re- 

 ports a satisfactory business this season 

 with his sweet peas. He found a good 

 market for his blooms and has hand- 

 picked a quantity of seed. He grows 

 callas in part of his range and has 

 good success with them. S. W. W. 



Forest City, la. — H. S. Gardiner, man- 

 ager of the Hill City Greenhouses, re- 

 ports frosts last week which did con- 

 siderable damage to soft-wooded stock 

 outdoors. It was considerably earlier 

 than the first killing frost usually vis- 

 its this neighborhood.

 Gentlkmen: 



We have just gone through the worst West Indian hurricane which ever struck 

 this part of the country. The wind attained a velocity of more than 90 miles an 

 hour, wrecking residences, all the water front of the city and every ship in the 

 harbor. , ^ , , . . ^, 



Our greenhouses, which we bought from you two years ago, stand in one of the 

 most exposed portions of the city. The storm wrecked some two story residences 

 within one block of us, but am happy to state that our greenhouses are standing 

 with no loss whatever, except eleven boxes of glass. There was practically no dam- 

 age to the stock inside. Hoping this will interest you, we remain. 



Sincerely yours,
