from Chicago. He is visiting the coast 

 cities, including Seattle and Los An- 

 geles. He stopped in Spokane and spent 

 several days making friends among the 

 florists. He is accompanied by a friend, 

 formerly a resident of Spokane. 



E. G. Lowe, formerly in the employ 

 of his brother, J. E. Lowe, at Milwau- 

 kee, is now working at Eugene 's Flower 

 Shop. 



Samuel Younkin, manager of the Hoyt 

 Bros. Co. store, spent several days on 

 an auto trip to Priest lake, Idaho. He 

 is most enthusiastic about the scenery 

 in the mountains and forests at the 

 lake. It is one of the largest in the 

 northwest and is recommended to flo- 

 rists who like to fish. L. B. H.

The Market. 



After sixty-nine days of drought it 

 has rained and the welcomed showers 

 have made everyone feel better and im- 

 proved business. Stock continues poor 

 and not too plentiful, and it seems cer- 

 tain that there will not be many flowers 

 in the market until chrysanthemums ar- 

 rive. 



Various Notes. 



What to burn has been a serious 

 question with the florists this fall. The 

 price of wood is exceptionally High, and 

 a supply is not readily obtainable. Slab 

 wood costs $3.50 per cord; cord wood 

 $5 to $6, and hard wood $7 to $7.50 per 

 cord. The cost of hauling must be 

 added to these prices. It is possible to 

 get Washington mine-run coal at $3.75 

 per ton aboard cars. Other grades range 

 upward in price. This coal is being used 

 extensively in Portland. There is a 

 shortage of fuel oil, which has greatly 

 increased the demand for coal. How- 

 ever, there is an ample supply of coal. 



All florists are invited to attend the 

 meeting of the Floral Society Septem- 

 ber 18 at the Masonic Temple. A fine 

 lunch will be one of the attractions. 



H. Nicklas has returned from New- 

 port, where he spent his vacation, the 

 first one in two vears. W. G. W.

The Market. 



There is no novelty in the way of 

 stock; asters, peas and carnations hold 

 their own. The usual fall showers are 

 starting in and will put peas out of com- 

 mission if they continue for any length 

 of time. There appears to be no valley 

 or orchids. Eoses are beginning to 

 come in, but will not be plentiful for a 

 few weeks yet. Gypsophila is off the 

 market, but some florists are using the 

 dried perennial varieties with satisfac- 

 tory results. 



One of the largest funerals of the year 

 was that of the wife of a prominent 

 jeweler. A large wedding on the same 

 day made business lively for the florists. 

 Saturday evening dinner dances are 

 regular features at the Country Club 

 and call for numerous table decorations, 

 as well as corsages for the guests.
