The H. L. Olsson Co. was first in the 

 market a week ago with mums. Mr. 

 Olsson had s~l»me good Golden Glow 

 mums and had a ready sale for all he 

 could cut. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. is erecting a brick 

 smokestack, which, when completed, 

 will be in the neighborhood of 100 feet 

 high. This extreme height is made 

 necessary by the high hills which al- 

 most surround the range. 



Adolph Donart has had some espe- 

 cially fine ferns this summer. Among 

 some of the other florists ferns of good 

 quality have been a little scarce. Mr. 

 Donart found an excellent market for 

 5, 6 and 7-ineh fuchsias, and they were 

 as fine as have ever been seen here.

The Market. 



Business is keeping up fairly well, but 

 there is little novelty in the way of 

 stock. Valley is entirely out of the 

 market and lilies are scarce. Local 

 growers have no roses to offer at pres- 

 ent, but from indications there will be 

 a good crop this winter. Designers are 

 handicapped in making up large pieces 

 where lilies come in handy for high 

 effect. Greens ate none too plentiful. 

 Gypsophilas are about over, but gladi- 

 oli are good, with a good demand, Pan- 

 ama being most popular. Asters are 

 plentiful and meet with a good call at 

 from 50 to 75 cents per dozen. Peas 

 are becoming poor and do not keep 

 well. Heavy dews and early morning 

 fogs will soon put them off the market 

 entirely. 



New industries are starting up in all 

 sections of the city. Shipbuilding 

 plants are popping up like mushrooms. 

 Where a month ago there was nothing 

 but a vast prairie dotted with shrub 

 oaks there now is a city. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Burt, of Spokane, was a recent 

 visitor, calling on old friends in Tacoma. 

 He was on his way from San Francisco 

 to Spokane. Mr. Burt is optimistic as 

 to the flower business on the Pacific 

 coast and predicts a great increase in 

 business from now on. 



Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Donart, of 

 Spokane, were also visitors to our city, 

 as well as to Seattle, where Mr. Donart 

 formerly lived. B. G.

CHERRIES AND PEPPERS. 



Please advise me how to handle cher- 

 ries and peppers. I grew a nice batch 

 and have them in 3-inch pots. The 

 cherries I have plunged in a cold- 

 frame, and the peppers are in a house. 

 Both are setting fruit. Is it too early 

 to let them do sol If so, tell me when 

 to let them set fruit and what size of 

 pots to carry them in. C. R. — 0. 



Both peppers and cherries, if in pots, 

 will do better plunged in a coldfrarae 

 for some time yet. The fruit should all 

 be set now and some of it shoud be 

 about fully grown. Place shades over 

 the plants if cold nights threaten. The 

 peppers are more tender than the cher- 

 ries and should go under glass about 

 September 20. Give plenty of water and 

 liquid manure once in four or five days, 

 if the pots are full of roots. C. W.
