ning, July 17, at the Masonic Temple, 

 but only a few members were present. 

 The retiring president, S. W. Walker, 

 gave an interesting address r<?viewing 

 the activities of the society during his 

 two years in office. The new president, 

 E. J. Steele, replied.

 Co., New York city, called on the trade

The Market. 



Business conditions last week were 

 good for this season of the year. Fu- 

 neral work, weddings and a few parties 

 in honor of the summer debutantes 

 helped to enliven business, though the 

 quantity of garden flowers had its ef- 

 fect on the cut flower and corsage or- 

 ders. 



Tourists have commenced to arrive in 

 large numbers from eastern points, and 

 the flower stores with their large stocks 

 make a good bid for business. 



Various Notes. 



Many complaints are being heard 

 from north-end residents about the ef- 

 fects of the sulphur fumes from the 

 smelter on lawns, shrubs and flowers. 

 In some cases even the leaves of shade 

 trees are dropping. 



George Seaverns, of the Northwestern 

 Floral Co., reports larger sales in bed- 

 ding stock this season than for a num- 

 ber of years. 



James Simpson, of the Acme Floral 

 Co., is taking a week's vacation at the 

 beach. 



Mrs. Watson, of the Twin-City Floral 

 Co., Centralia, was a visitor this week. 



Miss Bertha Giertz, of the Hayden- 

 Watson Co., an expert florist-fisherman, 

 departed last week for a week 's fishing 

 trip, destination unknown. Last Sun- 

 day morning she thought she needed a 

 little practice in order to be in good 

 form for the week 's sport, so she spent 

 the day out on the bay with her favorite 

 line. The result, after fifteen minutes' 

 hard struggle, was one 30-pound dog- 

 fish. This fellow so disgusted our cham- 

 pion that she kicked him overboard, 

 only to find the same fish on her hook 

 ten minutes later. We wonder what 

 kind of bait she uses and we will trade 

 our receipt for sunburns for her bait 

 formula. 



Henry Bentliien is cutting some fine 

 perennial stock. 



A. Lingham, of Puyallup, was a 

 visitor this week. B. G.

always seems to be doing something 

 new and on a big scale. His latest 

 venture is in the dairj'ing business at 

 Eureka. 



Mr. Ward, because of tlic high cost 

 of manure, decided to produce fertilizer 

 for his needs upon the place. But, in- 

 stead of buying common cattle, he has 

 gathered a herd of prize-winning milk 

 and butter producers and expects not 

 only to produce manure, but to make 

 money out of the manure j)roducers. 



The herd consists of forty-eight head, 

 twenty-one of which are of the famous 

 Sans Aloi Financial King strain of 

 .Terseys and cost .$25,000, a bull and 

 three of the cows rej)resenting an in- 

 vestment of $10,000. Mr. Ward recent- 

 ly made a trip to Iowa to close the deal. 



In a page write-up of the dairy-bulb 

 farm a San Francisco paper says: 

 ''Charles W. Ward, wliose personality 

 is back of this interesting venture, is 

 not one to build his ideas on an insig- 

 nificant scale. He is known througii- 

 out tlie world as the 'bulb wizard,' and 

 rightly so, for his Cottage Gardens 

 Nurseries are fast overtlirowing the 

 supremacy of Belgium and Holland in 

 the i)roduction of rare and beautiful 

 flowering bulbs." 



Ouray, Colo. — John T. Roberts, Jr., 

 is adding a greenhouse to his establish- 

 ment, which heretofore has consisted 

 only of coldframes. He will grow car- 

 nations, bulbous stock and pot plants.
