 them are as follows: E. E. Temperley,

 ington, D. C; F. C. McNabb, of the 

 Arizona Seed & Floral Co., Phoenix, 

 Ariz.; Miss Jennie Murray, of J, E. Mur- 

 ray & Co., Kansas City, Mo.; Charles

Ella Grant Wilson, of the Floral Syn- 

 dicate, Cleveland, has been in the city 

 visiting the different flower shops and 

 trying to interest them in an advertising 

 campaign. 



Wednesday, July 14, flower shops will 

 be closed all day on account of the an- 

 nual picnic, which will be held at Dodge 

 park, on the Sandy and Bull Run rivers. 

 Those who attend will take a basket 

 lunch. Coffee and ice cream will be fur- 

 nished by the Portland Floral Society.

The Market. 



The effects of the late spring and 

 rains are to be seen in the recent ar- 

 rivals and in the fine quality of the out- 

 door flowers. The stock is exception- 

 ally good for this time of the year. 

 Carnations have been falling off, due to 

 growers replanting for fall. There will 

 be as heavy planting for this fall as 

 heretofore. Most of the growers report 

 good success with their carnations this 

 last season. Spokane growers are be- 

 tween seasons and their shipments of 

 Laddie have been falling off in volume. 

 The current deliveries are the best that 

 have been seen this year as to color 

 and make a splendid showing as to 

 stems.

for several months, but the stock on 

 hand was not overheavy and there was 

 no need for slashing in prices. The 

 outdoor roses are arriving. Ophelia, 

 Ward and Columbia lead sales in the 

 larger roses, while Brunner is now 

 plentiful and in good demand. Killar- 

 ney roses are also in larger supply. 

 Violets are scarce and hard to find. 



Peonies are still leaders and the prices 

 have been splendidly maintained. The 

 double peonies are most in demand, but 

 single varieties have been used in win- 

 dow decorations to good effect. Water 

 lilies are also being used in window 

 decorations. 



Gladioli continue to sell well and are 

 being used in combination with Canton 

 bluebells and snapdragons for baskets. 

 Mrs. Francis King is still the favorite, 

 but the smaller pink stock is also a good 

 seller. The supply of Spanish iris has 

 been decreasing somewhat during the 

 last week, but the supply of large purple 

 iris has increased so that there has been 

 plenty of these flowers on hand. 



Delphinium and gypsophila have been 

 freely used in the less expensive cut 

 flower combinations. Larkspur and 

 bachelor's buttons have been good sel- 

 lers in the miscellaneous list. 



There is not much call for potted 

 stock. Geraniums and calceolarias are
