The scnlo ol" points u^s('(l liy tlio judji;t's 

 was: Color, twcuty-five; stem, tweuty- 

 livo; formation, twenty; size, fifteen; 

 productiveness, fifteen. 



])r. ll.u'ry Tevis is a ;;i;(nt decorative 

 dahlia and caused considerable com- 

 ment. It lias all the good dahlia points 

 and is a siiade of salmon rose, suffused 

 with old yold. Tride of ("alifornia is a 

 larf^e red decorative dahlia and -was 

 classed as the best red dalilia shown. 

 It has a lon<>', stiff stem, ijood keeping' 

 qualities and a ]iroductiveuess that is 

 hard to beat. Francis Burns, Jr., and 

 Mrs. Francis Burns are pink decorati\ <• 

 dahlias, whicli were admired for their 

 soft sliades and commercial value, the 

 dowers being of good size on straigiit 

 stems. The Grizzly is considered a 

 break in the dahlia. It is a hybrid dec- 

 orative dahlia of ]n-olilie growth, hav- 

 ing 3-foot stems an<l dark vtdvet ma- 

 roon flower.s, Jiieasuring ten inches. Ilel- 

 lio is a yellow peony; Kutli (iladell, a 

 hybrid cactus, salmmi pink tn vcllow ; 

 Mrs. Edna fc5]iencer, a lavender ])ink 

 hybrid cactus, and Grampton, a wine- 

 red decorative dahlia. All of these are 

 good varieties and sii^w-d up well in 

 the garden. 



J. II. Slocombe. New Haven. < nnii.. 

 entered the Kev. J. fc>. Slocombo. a ■lice 

 rative yellow dahlia, and E. W. !;,n\f. 

 a decorative butt' and yellow d;ililia. 

 Both are creditable dahlias. M;(u\ ..tluT 

 good dahlias were cxhibiteij. ijut, be- 

 cause of weak stems and otlicr bad hab- 

 its, they did not compare with the ^vin- 

 iiers. F. «;. P,nrns. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



'J'here is great rejoicing ani'.ng all 

 members of the trade. At last a good, 

 killing frost has blackened all the gar- 

 dens, the llowers from which have 

 prove<l so serious an obstacle to profit- 

 able flower selling. Business began to 

 improve the day after the freeze, and 

 lias continued td improxe with caidi 

 succeeding day. B is time for bett(>r 

 business, too, as every gre« uhon^f i- 

 bulging with stock for the market. 



Various Notes. 



The only case of serinuv djimage by 

 the frost was at the (ilenrn-.' (ireeii 

 houses, where several hundred mum? 

 were frozen, and wluMe consideraltle 

 damage was done to a sweet pea crop. 



At the Davenport Flower Shop ther<' 

 aj)pears to be much going uii. The deco- 

 ration of the hotel and restauranl, 

 added to the counter trade at the store, 

 requires the constant attenti.in of three 

 people, with occasionally a couple of 

 extras. Arthur Boehning, v.li<i, about 

 ten years ago, was a <lelivei v boy for 

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

 and has as his assistants (Jeorge Skin- 

 ner and Miss Kuth Ilollenback. 



Carl L. Gross, rei>resentiiig 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. II.
