been pinched back for October bear- 

 ing. The blooms find a rather desul- 

 tory market, sweet peas, asters, gladioli 

 and other such outdoor stock making 

 up the bulk of the retailers' business. 

 Carnations are slowly improving in 

 quality, but, from present appearances, 

 will be rather scarce during the first 

 few weeks after the killing frosts have 

 taken the outside stock. 



There is a general scarcity of greens 

 of all kinds, and it soon will be neces- 

 sary to begin to buy plumosus and adi- 

 antum from California. If the Cali- 

 fornia growers would only take lessons 

 in packing for long-distance shipping 

 from some of the Chicago and other 

 eastern wholesalers, it would be of great 

 advantage to them and to their cus- 

 tomers. 



Various Notes. 



F. H. McCormick is shipping in some 

 good roses. As he is practically the 

 only one growing other varieties than 

 Ophelia and Eussell, he is finding a 

 ready sale for his cut.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Bright fall weather last week helped 

 business considerably. The Jewish New 

 Year celebration the first of last week 

 created a demand for stock, while many 

 of the department stores had their fall 

 openings, which called for palms and 

 baskets. The supply of flowers consists 

 mainly of asters, zinnias, lilies, gladioli, 

 marigolds and other outdoor stock. 

 Eoses are coming in good quality, and 

 carnations have improved. The first 

 yellow pompons are in, while the larger 

 chrysanthemums are coming from Cali- 

 fornia. Japanese anemones, both pink 

 and white, are being used considerably 

 for funeral work. No potted plants 

 have yet reached the market. The sup- 

 ply of ferns is ample and the quality 

 excellent. 



Floral Society Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Portland 

 Floral Society was held September 18, 

 more than thirty members being pres- 

 ent. Plans to bring the membership up 

 to 100 and a proposal that retailers

charge for packing cut flowers for ship- 

 ment and for making up designs were 

 discussed, some fine exhibits of season- 

 able flowers were staged and the mem- 

 bers enjoyed an old-fashioned baked 

 bean and brown bread spread. 



The outcome of the discussion over 

 increasing the membership was that 

 each member present promised to bring 

 at least one applicant to the October 

 meeting. The question of making a 

 charge for packing when flowers are to 

 be shipped by parcel post was referred 

 to the retailers' committee. It was 

 pointed out that the post office ruling 

 that all flowers must be packed in cor- 

 rugated boxes had increased the cost. 

 There also was considerable discussion 

 on the proposal to charge for making up 

 designs, it being declared that the in- 

 creased cost of materials heretofore not 

 charged for had made such action nec- 

 essary. Eeports on these subjects will 

 be made at the October meeting.
