with a fairly good attendance. An in- 

 teresting meeting was held. 



Mr. Blaesing, president of the Port- 

 land Rose Society, was present and gave 

 an outline of the program that the so- 

 ciety is trying to accomplish. The 

 principal thing at present is a larger 

 membership. A campaign will be 

 started soon to secure 1,000 members. 

 Several members of the Floral Society 

 gave their applications and promised 

 to secure more members if they are fur- 

 nished wdth the necessary application 

 blanks. After a larger membership is 

 secured, a campaign will be started to 

 have every home in the city plant a 

 rose. The Shriners' convention will be 

 held in Portland June 21 to 23 and it is 

 desired to have a great showing of roses. 



The Portland Floral Society went on 

 record as favoring t^ie closing of retail 

 flower shops on Sunday. 



C. B. Clancey, of Salem, recently 

 elected to membership in the society, 

 was voted a life membership with dues 

 all paid, to show the society's appre- 

 ciution of the royal manner in which 

 it was taken care of at the state fair. 



Robert Newcomb, of the Burlington 

 Willow Ware Shops, Burlington, la., 

 visited the meeting. 



James Forbes and William Fernber- 

 ger visited several greenhouses October 

 19 and reported stock looking exception- 

 ally well. L. T. S.

The Market. 



Stock is somewhat scarce, everything 

 being bought up clean, although local 

 roses, such as Ophelia, Columbia, Pre- 

 mier and Hoosier Beauty, are arriving 

 in good supply and fine condition. Mid- 

 season chrysanthemums are coming in 

 gradually now and by next week Golden 

 Queen and Chieftain are expected to 

 put in an appearance. Some of the 

 larger varieties of chrysanthemums are 

 shipped in from California, but they 

 are giving place to our local product, 

 Oconto showing up well at present. 

 There is also a good showing of prim- 

 roses, potted chrysanthemums and pom- 

 pon chrysanthemums. Ferns are excel- 

 lent. 



The supply of local bulbs is about 

 exhausted and foreign stock is anxiously 

 looked forward to. 



A suggestion of Thanksgiving is in 

 the air with the appearance of potted 

 peppers and Aviator carnations. Lad- 

 die carnations are in splendid form, 

 bringing $8 per hundred. 



Various Notes. . 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Association the "Say It with Flow- 

 ers" week was the topic under discus- 

 sion and it was decided to have the 

 event November 3 to 8, inclusive. All 

 growers and retail iloalers attended the 

 meeting and II. E. Reimers acted as 

 chairman. An effort to interest out-of- 

 town florists met with hearty response. 

 Florists in Butte and Great Falls, Mont.; 

 Lewiston, Ida.; Walla Walla, Seattle, 

 Yakima and Wenatchee, Wash.; Van- 

 couver, B. C, and other cities, plan to 

 cooperate. 



ir. E. Reimers is still cutting late 

 asters. He lias on exhibition some prize 

 white potatoes weighing about two and 

 two-thirds jionnds each. Despite the 

 ravages of three frosts, he secured 150 

 sacks of fine medium-sized potatoes from 

 one/ acre.

These bulbs produce flowers similar to Gladioli, on a longer spike, and 

 earlier. The pink are of the Ward Carnatioa color and the White are 

 the Purest White in existence. Splendid for Spring forcing, and bloom 

 about Easter time and earlier.
