The Market. 



Business remains dull, the hot 

 w'athor having put an end to any social 

 activities that would mean sales. 

 Asters have made their appearance in 

 the market. The supply of all kinds of 

 stock is large, but the quality is poor. 

 Tiiere has been no rain for a month and 

 the crop of annuals has suffered.

The Wilson, Crout & Gehr Co. pur- 

 chased two houses on the Pfunder 

 range and moved them to its establish-

 the excoi)tion of one of the new houses. 

 Pompon mums have been given con- 

 siderable space, as they are more popu- 

 lar each year. Mr. Wilson, who man- 

 ages the greenhouses, has four houses 

 in Boston and Whitmanii ferns, which 



FISCHER'S SPLlNDENS 



A MAGNIFICENT LAVENDER FREESIA 



The only commercial colored Freesia in the world, not to be compared or 

 judged in the same class with any other colored Freesia. It stands alone for 

 size, strength, beauty and fragrance. The flowers are very large, with long, 

 heavy stems with foliage reaching well up the stems, and are highly fragrant. 



It is a Freesia that will stand the test of time and will be grown by all 

 florists when stock can be offered at commercial pr ces. Was awarded a Cer- 

 tificate of Merit at the Pasadena Flower Show. 



Stock is limited; send in your orders as soon as possible. Is offered in two shades of 

 color, a bluish lavender and a reddish lavender. Only good si7ed. flowering bulbs are

Local growers say that cyclamen 

 plants will be scarce this year because 

 of a short seed supply. 



Florists are having considerable diffi- 

 culty getting a fuel supply. Although 

 Portland is in the center of a large 

 lumbering section, the price is higher 

 than usual. 



The activity at the local shipyards 

 has created a stronger demand for la- 

 bor, and florists are having difficulty 

 getting the help they need. Wages, 

 also, have risen.
