The scale of points used by the judges 

 was: Color, twenty-five; stem, twenty- 

 five; formation, twenty; size, fifteen; 

 productiveness, fifteen. 



Dr. Harry Tevis is a giant decorative 

 dahlia and caused considerable com- 

 ment. It has all the good dahlia points 

 and is a shade of salmon rose, suffused 

 with old gold. Pride of California is a 

 large red decorative dahlia and was 

 classed as the best red dahlia shown. 

 It has a long, stiff stem, good keeping 

 qualities and a productiveness that is 

 hard to beat. Francis Burns, Jr., and 

 Mrs. Francis Burns are pink decorative 

 dahlias, which were admired for their 

 soft shades and commercial value, the 

 flowers being of good size on straight 

 stems. The Grizzly is considered a 

 break in the dahlia. It is a hybrid dec- 

 orative dahlia of prolific growth, hav- 

 ing 3-foot stems and dark velvet ma- 

 roon flowers, measuring ten inches. Hel- 

 lio is a yellow peony; Euth Gladell, a 

 hybrid cactus, salmon pink to yellow; 

 Mrs. Edna Spencer, a lavender pink 

 hybrid cactus, and Grampton, a wine- 

 red decorative dahlia. All of these are 

 good varieties and showed up well in 

 the garden. 



J. H. Slocombe, New Haven, Conn., 

 entered the Eev. J. S. Slocombe, a deco- 

 rative yellow dahlia, and E. AV. Ivuwo, 

 a decorative buff and yellow dahlia. 

 Both are creditable dahlias. Many other 

 good dahlias were exhibited, but, be- 

 cause of weak stems and other bad hab- 

 its, they did not compare with the win- 

 ners. F. C. Burns. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



There is great rejoicing among all 

 members of the trade. At last a good, 

 killing frost has blackened all the gar- 

 dens, the flowers from which have 

 proved so serious an obstacle to profit- 

 able flower selling. Business began to 

 improve the day after the freeze, and 

 has continued to improve with each 

 succeeding day. It is time for better 

 business, too, as every greenhouse is 

 bulging with stock for the market. 



Various Notes. 



The only case of serious damage by 

 the frost was at the Glenrose Green- 

 houses, where several hundred mums 

 were frozen, and where considerable 

 damage was done to a sweet pea crop. 



At the Davenport Flower Shop there 

 appears to be much going on. The deco- 

 ration of the hotel and restaurant, 

 added to the counter trade at the store, 

 requires the constant attention of three 

 people, with occasionally a couple of 

 extras. Arthur Boehning, who, about 

 ten years ago, was a delivery boy for 

 F. C. Weber, of St, Louis, is in charge, 

 and has as his assistants George Skin- 

 ner and Miss Euth HoUenback. 



Carl L. Gross, representing the S. S. 

 Pennock Co., of Philadelphia, stopped 

 over for a few days last week. Busi- 

 ness has been good everywhere he 

 stopped, he says. L. B. H.

AN ORIGINAL TRUCK IDEA. 



Hoyt Bros. Co., Spokane, Wash., be- 

 lieves it has originated the ideal body 

 for a delivery truck. The car is the 

 result of more than a year of work. A 

 Ford chassis was used. The sedan body 

 follows the lines of others of that type, 

 except that it is higher and longer, and 

 the doors are two inches wider. The 

 driver's seat and the interior are up- 

 holstered down to the glass line the 

 same as any sedan car. From the glass 

 line down leatherette was used. All 

 the glass slides up and down in anti- 

 rattler devices. The car is electric 

 lighted and is heated from the exhaust
