The Hoyt Bros. Co. is as busy as 

 usual, though still considerably handi-

 planned, announcement of which will 

 be made later. L. B. H.

Club Meeting. 



At the meeting of the Portland Flo- 

 ral Society October 17 two new mem- 

 bers were elected. F. "A. Van Kirk, 

 chairman of the committee on enter- 

 tainment, reported that the entire fifth 

 fioor of the Masonic Temple could be 

 secured by the society for November 

 21. The epmmittee waa instructed to 

 rent the quarters and arrange for the 

 society's yearly social event — Ladies' 

 night-— on that date. All members and 

 employees will be invited to attend 

 with their families. 



Frederick Hyskell spoke of the plans 

 for holding a food products show No- 

 vember 9 to 18, in the ice palace, and 

 offered free space for a chrysanthe- 

 mum show. The matter was referred 

 to the committee on exhibitions. 



D. Kelleher, of the Anti Blue Law 

 League, told of the work of the organi- 

 zation in its campaign for the repeal 

 of the old Sunday closing laws and ap- 

 pealed for contributions to help to 

 carry the vote for repeal, which ^ill 

 appear an the ballot at the election

 the society did not have funds avail- 

 able for such a purpose, but that the 

 members would contribute individually.

 ator, asked his brother members to help 

 to elect a nurseryman to the legisla- 

 jture.

 freshment table Secretary Niklas read 

 an invitation to attend the St. Louis 

 flower show. While it may not be pos- 

 sible for any of the society's members 

 to attend the show, the invitation was 

 appreciated and will be acknowledged 

 by the iecretary.

 of no trump hands at 500. 



John Holden was appointed a mem- 

 ber of the committee -on exhibitions,

Various Notes. 



G. Teufel has installed a new heating 

 plant at his range, spending about 

 $5,000 on the improvement. A new 

 boiler of 100 horsepower furnishes heat 

 for the entire range of 50,000 square 

 feet of glass. Hot water is the circu- 

 lating medium. He has built a 75-foot 

 brick stack, which rests on a concrete 

 base twenty feet square and has an 

 opening at the top twenty-eight inches 

 square. Except the brickwork, Mi*. 

 Teufel installed the system with the 

 help of his greenhouse force.

to follow the Chrysanthemum crop. No other flower will pay better. You will 

 have fine flowers from January until late in spring. All progressive florists 

 have abandoned growing the late Spencer and are making now four times as 

 much money with this early-flowering type, not only for inside but for out- 

 side planting. If sown in October and November they will bloom two to three 

 months earlier; if sown outdoors they will bloom three to four weeks earlier 

 'than the late Spencers, producing more and better flowers and keeping the buds 

 during the most rainy weather. We have a limited quantity of the following 

 varieties to offer at reduced prices: 



PINK MUD WHITE ORCHID, WHITE ORCHID, MRS. A. A. 

 SKACH, ORCHID BEAUTY, rose; LAVENDER ORCHID, lavender 

 pink; MISS FL. FABING, Yarrawa color. This lot will contain about two 

 to Ave per cent of the late hybrids of the same color and for late planting they 

 are of more value than the re-selected varieties of the same names. 



Price: 1 oz., 60c; 4 ozs.. $1.50; 1 lb., $6.00; 10 lbs., $45.00 ^ .^ 



^ FLORISTS' 'WINTER ORCHID- FLOWERING MIXTURE.

GOLD MEDAL MIXTURE. 



This is made Up of about fifty distinct varieties, evenly balanced to each 

 color. It contains almost every variety in commerce, including this year's and 

 next year's novelties, all of the Winter Orchid type only. Last year we sold over 

 90,000 packets to private gardeners and retail florists. In semi-tropical coun- 

 tries they have been blooming all winter. In cooler climate, if sown early in 

 spring they bloom in May, three to four weeks earlier. Florists who keep 

 a seed counter should have this steadily on hand^ ready for their customers. 

 Sold only in o&e size packets. E^ch packet contains sufficient seed to plaht 

 30 to 40 feet of row. . . , ,

Clarke Bros, have established a repu- 

 tation for rapid delivery service. B. 

 George, the motorcycle delivery boy, 

 with a potted plant and package of 

 flowers in one hand, one day was hur- 

 rying to an address far out on the 

 northeast side. A tra£Gie of&cer on a 

 motorcycle suddenly appeared and gave 

 chase. Though he could use but one 

 hand, the boy sped away and after half 

 an hour of madcap riding, turning 

 sharp corners and dragging his foot on 

 the dirt streets to stir up the dust, 

 he got away and made his delivery. 

 The officer, who is the most expert 

 rider on the force, said he knew of but 

 one boy who could elude him that way. 

 At the store the next morning the boy 

 submitted to arrest, acknowledging 

 that he was speeding fifty-five miles
