The Market. 



Portland florists are experiencing a 

 rather (juiet time at present. Aside

 the conditions and are spending a few 

 days in the mountains and at the sea- 

 shore. The weather is hot and dry and 

 outdoor stock shows it, but in spite of 

 that there are some good gladioli and 

 asters coming in. These are the main 

 offerings at present, (iladioli are be- 

 coming more pojjular each year as the 

 new varieties are shown and placed on 

 the market.
