force, is back from an enjoyable vaca- 

 tion, thus relieving Charles Clark, who 

 left for his outing immediately upon 

 Mr. Orr's return. Two wedding decora- 

 tions are scheduled by this firm, one 

 for July 23 and the other for July 30. 

 Charles Stappenbeck, proprietor of 

 the American Florist store on Polk 

 street, returned a short time ago from 

 a rest of several weeks. He reported 

 business normal. M. M. 



SPOKANE PICNIC. 



The Spokane Florists' Club held its 

 second annual picnic at Manito park, 

 Wednesday, July 9, with every grower 

 and retailer represented. All retail 

 stores closed at 1 p. m. The entire 

 afternoon was spent in various games, 

 with an interesting game of baseball be- 

 tween the wholesalers and retailers, 

 with a victory for the retailers. Score, 

 64 to 0. A group of the picnickers ap- 

 pears in the illustration on page 46.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market, 



From all indications in the flower 

 stores one can realize that summer is 

 here. Funerals and weddings are about 

 all there is to furnish business. The 

 counter trade since July 4 has put on 

 its normal summer garb and is decided- 

 ly slow. Good flowers are scarce except 

 outdoor gladioli, and there are only a 

 few varieties on the market, such as 

 Salmon Queen and Halley. America 

 and Mrs. Francis King have not yet put 

 in an appearance. 



Various Notes. 



The Portland Floral Society met this 

 week with a fairly good attendance. 

 The state fair managers requested that 

 the society let them know .as soon as 

 possible how much space they could use 

 in the floral exhibit at the state fair this 

 year. They promised to have every- 

 thing fixed up in fine shape for those 

 who desire to make an exhibit. 



Secretary Van Kirk, who has been 

 attending the Shriners' convention in 

 Indianapolis, reported that the conven- 

 tion will be held in Portland next year, 

 and estimated that the number of vis- 

 itors will probably exceed 70,000. He 

 stated that it will be one of the great- 

 est chances florists have ever had to 

 furnish these eastern visitors with roses 

 and other flowers. 



Mr. Strausse, manager of the Lubliner 

 Flower Shop at 348 Washington street, 

 has been spending his vacation in Walla 

 Walla, Wash. 



The following were visitors in town 

 during the week: Alfred Brown, of 

 Brown Bros., Vancouver, B. C; A. Ling- 

 ham, Puyallup, Wash., and George C. 

 Perkins, of Jackson & Perkins Co., Inc., 

 Newark, N. Y. \ 



James W. Huserik & Spns have a well- 

 equipped }ilant for making all kinds of 

 wire designs for florists' use. 



Messrs. Malmo, Bonncll and Benthien, 

 all from Seattle, have been attending 

 the convention of the Pacific Coast 

 Nurserymen's Association, and took the 

 opportunity while here of visiting the 

 various florists' establishments in search 

 of stock, of which they were short. 



James Forbes, of Martin & Forbes, ac- 

 companied by several Seattle florists, 

 were visitors at Sobolt's gladiolus gar- 

 dens one day last week.
