. last week. Scotch visitors to this store 

 admire the fine display of heather. 



Mrs. E. E. Darbee has found a new 

 way of getting old newspapers needed 

 for packing flowers. The children at 



<t-v_the school near her store on Hyde street 

 save the papers and arrange them in 



•^ bundles, under the supervision of an in- 

 terested teacher. Each morning they 

 stop at the Darbee store to see if papers 

 are needed. Mrs. Darbee is glad to get 

 her supply in this way instead of de- 

 pending on the rag men. M. M.

The Market. 



There is a marked steadiness locally in 

 the market situation, and prices are be- 

 ing maintained iii nearly every instance. 

 There has been a generally good demand, 

 with decorations and funeral work of 

 sufficient size to clean up everything. 

 Rains have continued, so that dahlias 

 and boltonias are about the only out- 

 door flowers at all plentiful. 



There is less complaint over the qual- 

 ity of late arrivals of California mums 

 than was the case last week, and the 

 lower prices which prevail now have 

 made the mums more popular than dur- 

 ing the first shipments. Local growers 

 are beginning to oflFer small yellow and 

 white mums of the pompon class. 



Stock continues scarce in orchids and 

 gardenias. The local supply of lily of 

 the valley is increasing and is ample for 

 current needs. 



As stated before, several growers re- 

 port a short cut of roses at this time, 

 and the shops they supply have been 

 drawing on Portland and Spokane grow- 

 ers for some stock. 



No change is seen in the list of potted 

 offerings, with primroses and cyclamens 

 trade leaders. Ferns continue popular 

 sellers, and some of the finest Roosevelt 

 ever shown here are being brought iw 

 now. Rubrum and callas are the ava(i]- 

 able lilies at this time. 



There is still a scarcity of carnations 

 to report, old-crop lots being almost 

 entirely out and new-crop lots too short 

 for sale.

 This week he caused further surprise by 

 the announcement that he will retire per- 

 manently from the florists' business and 

 will devote all his time to the manage- 

 ment of the Case Conserve Co., an or- 

 ganization he recently formed. His 

 many friends among the florists wish 

 him every success in his new undertak-
