to Honolulu for his health. He is ex- 

 pected back December 15 to assist with 

 the holiday rush. He was accompanied 

 by Louis Costelligo, another member of 

 the staff. 



Miss Eecardie Lee Murray reports 

 business holding up well at her store in 

 Geary street, near Larkin, and much 

 more activity at her stands in the Clift 

 and Whitcomb hotels than during the 

 epidemic. 



Albert O. Stein executed a handsome 

 decoration at the Fairmont hotel a few 

 days ago for the wedding of Miss Hen- 

 derson, daughter of Senator Henderson, 

 of Nevada, and Lieutenant Selby, of 

 Oakland. A magnolia hedge made a 

 pleasing background and quantities of 

 large chrysanthemums were used. The 

 bride's bouquet was of white Ostrich 

 Plume, phalaenopsis, cyclamen and gar- 

 denias. Mr. Stein reports much improve- 

 ment in counter trade in the last week 

 and the outlook much better for floral 

 decoration since conditions have begun 

 to readjust themselves to a peace basis. 

 He figures there will be a great deal of 

 entertaining this winter and more liber- 

 ality shown in the purchase of flowers 

 for home adornment than has been the 

 case for many months.

SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Flowers are more plentiful this week 

 than last and, while the demand is still 

 above normal, the supply is increasing. 

 Chrysanthemums are in good supply and 

 the prices remain high. Roses and car- 

 nations are still in great demand, but 

 the shortage is being overcome. 



Potted plants will be short for Thanks- 

 giving, as cyclamens are about the only 

 plants offered in any quantity. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Bernson, of the Bernson & Halle 

 Greenhouses, Glenrose station, states 

 that he will be able to supply sweet 

 peas by the first of next week. These 

 will be the first offered on the Spokane 

 market. 



Mr. Rahn, of the Spokane Green- 

 houses, located at Marshall Junction, 

 quietly evaded his many Spokane friends 

 last week and, after being absent for a 

 few days, returned to Spokane with a 

 bride. Mr. Rahn is not much of a hand 

 to advertise his plans, but is certainly 

 clever in his selections. 



The Spokane growers were visited 

 last week by a clever swindler. He had 

 a smooth line of talk that seemed to 

 persuade a large per cent of our friends 

 and in most cases extracted from them 

 from $15 to $18. No doubt he would

 it not been that one of the victims be- 

 came suspicious of the magic that would 

 grow geraniums, chrysanthemums and 

 almost all indoor blooming plants by a 

 light application of the wonderful 

 "plant food." He started out and 

 located the twentieth century salesman 

 spreading his clever non-fertilizing pro- 

 duction on the benches of a newly 

 planted bed of carnations. The latter 

 soon became confused by the appear- 

 ance of his former victim, when he 

 found that his words were being ques- 

 tioned by both the prospective and past 

 customer. After his sale had been 

 cheeked permanently there, he agreed 

 to refund the money to the fortunate 

 self-made detective, providing the par- 

 ty concerned would not advertise it to
