but not enough flowers to fill them. 

 Christmas business^ as far as he can 

 tell, will be restricted only by the 

 amount of flowers and plants available 

 for sale. He expects his whole family 

 to arrive from Canada within a few 

 days. 



Orders continue to pile up, according 

 to Mr. Enomoto, of Enomoto & Co. 



"No trouble in disposing of all the 

 flowers we can get," is the way the 

 United Flower & Supply Co. sums up 

 business. M. M.

The Market. 



Stock is in heavy demand, while hard- 

 ly enough is received to make a display 

 in the shops. Christmas trade prospects 

 are excellent and, with prices back 

 where they ought to be, the florists 

 should fare well this season. The supply 

 of holly is apparently unlimited. Mis- 

 tletoe also is abundant. The shops are 

 displaying Maud Dean, all the other 

 mums being gone. This variety probab- 

 ly will be the only one with us for the 

 holidays. The flowers are taken as fast 

 as they open and prices realized will be 

 at the top notch and the stock worth 

 ■what is asked for it. The supply of car- 

 nations is shortening up on account of 

 the cloudy weather. 



Local florists who have received their 

 shipments of French bulbs all have been 

 greatly surprised at the mathematics 

 employed to figure out transportation 

 charges on their bulbs from New York. 

 At the rates now in force on the rail- 

 roads the total charges collected on de- 

 livery are more than 100 per cent in ex- 

 cess of rates guaranteed by the bulb 

 wen. A concerted effort will be made 

 by local florists to find out who is to 

 foot the bills for apparent errors.

many orders and inquiries for its strain 

 of Portland petunias. While the seed 

 crop of this variety is small this year, 

 it is of excellent quality. 



Bahn & Herbert have fine Christmas 

 stock at their greenhouses at Clackamas, 

 including several houses of fine poin- 

 settias, cyclamens and begonias. Other 

 houses are filled with palms and ferns 

 in various sizes. Several houses of car- 

 nations are in fine form for the winter 

 season. No finer Maud Dean mums have 

 been seen this season than theirs.

Tlie Market. 



Flowers are scarce, with practically 

 nothing coming into the market from 

 the local growers. California roses are 

 arriving in good shape, but mums, which 

 are nearing the close of their season, are 

 poor. They are a help, however, in mak- 

 ing up funeral designs. 



If the local retailers had to depend on 

 local stock to carry on their business, 

 they would have enough to supply them 

 for half a day, perhaps, at a time. The

Various Notes. 



Mr. Hankins, of the Seattle Pottery 

 Co., shipped a carload of pots to Spokane 

 last week. He says that he is able to fill 

 orders from small amounts to carload 

 lots. He reports a heavy demand in his 

 line. 



William Hawkins has joined the store 

 force of the Hollywood Gardens. 



Mr. Eowe, manager of L. W. McCoy's 

 flower shop, says business was never bet- 

 ter and stock never scarcer. This voices 

 the opinion of the trade in general, judg- 

 ing by appearances. 



John Holze made a business trip to 

 Spokane last week. 



P. F. Bosaia moved into his new home 

 in the University district last week.
