Tlie Maxket. 



Business continues good. Ordinary 

 stock brings good prices and fancy 

 stock brings amazing prices. But it is 

 thought that the big Todd shipyard 

 strike will hurt the trade considerably, 

 as nearly 5,000 men have been out since 

 October 1. The heavy frost September 

 29 killed off all outdoor stock in and 

 around Tacoma and many florists are 

 glad it is over with. 



There are plenty of good roses to be 

 seen, Ophelia taking the lead, with Had- 

 ley and Russell tying for second. There 

 is a good demand for carnations, but 

 the stock, on the whole, is not what 

 it should be. There are some home- 

 grown chrysanthemums, not so good as 

 the California stock, of which there is 

 plenty to be had, with good sales and 

 good prices. 



Cyclamens are now beginning to ap- 

 pear and there is some good stock to be 

 had in 6-inch and 8-inch pots. Boston 

 ferns and kentias in 6-inch pots find 

 ready sales. 



Dahlia Show at Fair. 



The twentieth annual fair at 

 Puyallup, Wash., from September 30 to 

 October 5, included an exhibit of dahlias 

 and other flowers. There were 600 dif- 

 ferent varieties of dahlia shown by pro- 

 fessionals and amateurs. There were 

 also potted plants and conifers. 



C. Popp, of Fort Steilacoom, Wash., 

 was judge. Mrs. George Sheffield, of 

 Burton, Wash., and Mrs. Hill, of Ta- 

 coma, dahlia growers, had a large dis- 

 play and both booked big orders for 

 next April delivery. Woodruff Boyce, 

 of Seattle, had a big display of seeds 

 and vegetables. ' E. P.

The Market. 



Business has been good for the last 

 few weeks and stock is generally fair. 

 Gladioli are scarce. New carnations 

 are beginning to arrive in small quanti- 

 ties. A few chrysanthemums are being 

 sold. Roses are plentiful and of good 

 quality. Asters are getting poorer all 

 the time and their season is about 

 ended. Some fine dahlias are in the 

 market at present and, if the weather 

 holds good for a few weeks, they will 

 be the leading feature in the market. 



Annual Ficnic at State Fair. 



Thursday, September 25, the Port- 

 land Floral Society enjoyed one o^ the 

 most pleasant days that its members 

 have ever had, on what they term their 

 annual picnic, attending the state fair 

 at Salem. 



C. B. Clancy, of Salem, who had 

 charge of the floral exhibit at the state 

 fair, has been attending the meetings 

 quite frequently, and invited the mem- 

 bers of the Portland Floral Society to 

 attend the fair in a body. He assured 

 the -members a good time, and said the 

 Salem Floral Society would try to make 

 it as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. 

 Upon a vote taken by the society, it 

 was decided to attend in a body. Com-
