W. C. Franklin, of Dibble & Franklin, 

 Salem, was also a visitor and displayed 

 ft fine collection of tulips, including 

 twenty-one varieties. Mr. Franklin 

 stated that these tulips were all pro- 

 duced from home-grown bulbs and were

Various Notes. 



Martin & Forbes have given the in- 

 terior of their store a new coating of 

 white enamel, which adds much to the 

 appearance. 



Dibble & Franklin, of Salem, whose 

 tulips were exhibited at the meeting of 

 the Portland Floral Society, have been 

 experimenting for about five years and 

 now have about 60,000 bulbs. The 

 methods of curing and storing are now 

 occupying their attention and when 

 those have been perfected they feel 

 that they will be able to go into it 

 more extensively. They have proved, 

 to their own satisfaction at least, that 

 bulbs of better quality can be grown 

 here than those which have been com- 

 ing from abroad. L. T. S.

 well, but there was a shortage of the 

 larger ones. 



The Market. 



Stock of all kinds has been scarce 

 since Mothers' day, as everything was
