SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The demand for cut flowers has in- 

 creased to such a point that the growers 

 are unable to fill fifty per cent of the 

 demand. 



Chrysanthemums are coming in 

 scarcely open and carnations are at a 

 premium. Roses normally would be 

 flooding the mafket, with the amount 

 being cut, but, with the pre««nt demand, 

 the retailers are unable to keep a re- 

 Hpectal)le <lisplay in their refrigerators. 

 Many florists are refusing to fill orders 

 for large designs in funeral work, in 

 order to divide their stock among their 

 customers. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Burt, a pioneer florist of 

 Spokane, was married to Mrs. Clara 

 Phillips Cathey, of Chicago, November 

 7. Mrs. Burt is well known in Chicago 

 as a composer and concert singer. Mr. 

 Burt will return November 1.5 with his 

 bride to Spokane, where they intend to 

 make their home. 



The first shipment of Holland bulbs to 

 arrive in the northwest this season was 

 received by the Spokane Seed Co., Octo- 

 ber 30. The bulbs were in excellent con-

dition. On account of their late arrival 

 in New York and congested freight con- 

 ditions, the entire shipment of fifteen 

 cases was sent by express and arrived in 

 Spokane in time to be planted before 

 freezing weather set in. K. W. N. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business has been so good with the 

 retailers that they have hardly been 

 able to take care of it. Funeral work, 

 caused by the influenza epidemic, has 

 been unusually heavy. All stores have 

 been closing early to prevent congestion 

 on street car lines, and it is expected the 

 epidemic will be under control soon. 

 Flowers now are plentiful, with chrys- 



anthemums in the largest supply. 

 There are a few dahlias and carnations. 



Various Notes. 



The Nippon Florist Co. has built a new 

 house and has it filled with mums. This 

 concern is delivering excellent quality 

 flowers, among them being Helen Lee, 

 which is a beauty and sells for $4 and 

 $o per dozen. The balance of the com- 

 pany's houses will be planted to vege- 

 tables. 



The Lalane Floral Shop has had to in- 

 crease its force, having more business 

 than Mr. Lalane and his wife could 

 handle. Miss Fibich, of San Francisco, 

 has been added to the force, while Fred 

 Huserik is doing the delivering and 

 packing for the out-of-town trade.
