handy for carrying big boxes, or bed- 

 ding and potted plants. The driver is 

 comfortable in all kinds of weather, is 

 uniformed and can step from his car 

 with the flowers to be delivered without 

 being required to touch the street. This 

 latter is a good feature, as there is no 

 possibility of muddy feet to soil the 

 customer's porch. The company has 

 had the car in service two months, and 

 believes it has done nothing in an adver- 

 tising way that has brought into the 

 store more complimentary remarks, and 

 it usually follows that orders come 

 quickly after. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business conditions as a whole arc 

 satisfactory for this season of the year, 

 though some of the florists think that a 

 good frost to stop the dahlias and other 

 outdoor flowers would stimulate busi- 

 ness a little. Flowers are more plenti- 

 ful than they have been for some time. 

 The new crop of carnations is coming 

 on finely. 



A few home-grown mums are being 

 shown in competition with a large sup- 

 ply of California stock, which is arriv- 

 ing in fine shape. California violets 

 have made their appearance. Locally 

 grown roses are plentiful now, with 

 Ophelia, as usual, the favorite. 



The new army cantonment. Camp 

 Lewis, which is about twelve miles 

 south of town, is bringing good business 

 to the florists. There are between 35,- 

 000 and 40,000 officers and men sta- 

 tioned there, with several thousand more 

 to come. Everyone is entertaining the 

 men, and this creates a demand for 

 table decorations and corsage bouquets. 



Various Notes. 



Arthur Smith, of the Smith Floral 

 Co., reports good business in funeral 

 work and other orders. 



Henry Benthien has a house of fine 

 late asters in full crop. 



H. E. Hopkins, of Hopkins Bros., 

 Auburn, was a visitor this week. Mr. 

 Hopkins says the outlook is good for a 

 large cut of carnations at the range. 



A. G. Scamons took a trip to Seattle 

 last week. He visited some of the 

 jjreenhouses and reports everything in 

 first-class order. 



Miss Bertha Giertz, of the Hayden- 

 Watson Co., has taken charge of the 

 company's branch store at Aberdeen. 

 Miss Giertz has the best wishes of her 

 many friends for success in her new 

 position. 



Joseph Ghilarducci, the California 

 Florist, is not saying much these days, 

 but we infer from his satisfied look and 

 the way he chews the ends of those 

 2-bit oijjars that business is good at his 

 store. A. S. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Frost has cut off outdoor flowers, mak- 

 ing business brisker than for several 

 weeks. Clear weather is favorable to 

 tlie roses and carnations, which are ar- 

 riving in good supply. Chrysanthemums 

 are being shipped in from California, 

 while of the local mums Chrysolora is 

 the first to come to market. Pompons 

 are enjoying much favor, and violets, 

 both single and double, are becoming 

 more plentiful.

Floral Society Meeting. 



The meeting of the Portland Floral 

 Society, which occurred October 16, 

 was well attended and much interest 

 developed in plans to increase the mem- 

 bership. Some fifty of the local florists 

 were present and nine new applications 

 for membership received, which is a 

 fjood showing, although a long way 

 from reaching the desired enrollment 

 of 100. However, the spirit of coopera- 

 tion which characterized proceedings, 

 and the enthusiasm which was mani- 

 fested for the plans of the club, promise 

 well for the future. 



A. J. Clarke, of the retailers' com- 

 mittee, reported that the dealers have 

 decided to charge for boxes in all 

 flower shipments. A uniform price list 

 will be sent to each store. Mr. Clarke 

 referred to the article in a recent issue 

 of The Eeview on "How to Get More 

 Profit Out of Business" and discussed 

 the diffpreiice between the costs, as 

 stated ff»r tlic eastern trade, and the 

 percentage obtaining in the west. The 

 ]iercentage of costs in the estimate in 

 The Review was thirty-three and one- 

 tliird per cent of the gross sales, while
