derful treat. In the greenhousea the 

 6 and 7-inch cyclamens command ad- 

 miration. 



Imus & Klaffenbach, who last spring 

 bought the Inland Greenhouses, on 

 Washington street, are bringing in 

 some good Bussell roses. They declare 

 that they wish their whole place was 

 planted to Bussells, and that they no 

 doubt will go in stronger for it next 

 year. 



The engagement of Miss Irene Kud- 

 dock to Emmett L. Kearney has been 

 announced, the wedding to take place 

 sometime in October, at Salt Lake City, 

 Utah. Miss Euddock has for several 

 years been in the employ of the Sp6- 

 kane Florist Co. She is the third florist 

 of Spokane to be married this fall. 



The twentieth wedding anniversary of 

 Mr. and Mrs, Samuel Younkin was cele- 

 brated in due form Saturday night, Sep- 

 tember 23, when the store employees of 

 the Hoyt Bros. Co., of which Mr. 

 Younkin is manager, surprised Mr. and 

 Mrs. Younkin in their home. 



Philip Scott was a recent visitor, 

 coming from Portland and stopping oflf 

 at Spokane on his way to Denver and 

 Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Scott is a brother 

 of the members of the "William Scott 

 Co., of Buffalo, and a son of the late 

 William Scott, of that city. Mr. Scott 

 at one time was in business in Denver, 

 removing from there to San Francisco. 

 He now expects to join his brothers in 

 conducting the business founded by 

 their father. L. B. H. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Notwithstanding the unusually hot 

 weather during the last week of Sep- 

 tember, which made it hard for the flo- 

 rieta to keep their stocks in good condi- 

 tion, the downtown stores did a record 

 business September 27, in view of the 

 Jewish holiday. There was a rush all 

 day and it necessitated extra care in 

 packing and delivering to have the or- 

 ders presentable when they reached 

 their destinations. A big demand was 

 reported for plants. 



There is little change in offerings 

 since the last report. Some of the Jap- 

 anese growers still are bringing in a 

 fine cut of zinnias. A limited quantity 

 of cosmos, gypsophilas, stocks and other 

 summer stock continues to arrive, but 

 the supply is decreasing rapidly and the 

 quality is inferior. Asters are no longer 

 a feature; gladioli are about gone and 

 the supply of dahlias is beginning to 

 decrease. 



Chrysanthemums are about at their 

 height. Every morning the Japanese 

 market is flooded with them, but the 

 demand is heavy and few find their way 

 to the trash pile at the end of the day. 

 All kinds show excellent quality. The 

 Chinese growers are bringing in many 

 small mums, which do well. A few 

 chrysanthemum plants made their ap- 

 pearance at the downtown stores last 

 week, attracting considerable attention. 

 There now are enough good roses to fill 

 all requirements, which is a source of 

 g^eat satisfaction to all dealers. Sep- 

 tember Morn roses show good quality 

 and find a ready demand, and the new 

 rose. Baby Doll, does well here. Car- 

 nations are improving a little, but the 

 average quality is hardly up to expeeta- 

 tions as yet. A few lilies are offered 

 and they make high prices. Gardenias, 

 orchids and valley are scarce, the latter 

 selling at 60 cents per dozen sprays. In
