PRICE LIST ON REQUEST 



RAHN & HERBERT CO., Clackamas, Ore. 



unable to compare the current Thanks- 

 giving sales with those of a year ago, 

 reports entire satisfaction over the 

 way the stock was cleaned up this year. 

 Several improvements in this new shop 

 are planned, with the idea of attract- 

 ing more transients. H. M.

The Market. 



Stock in chrysanthemums is a little 

 scarce, due to Thanksgiving trade. 

 Carnations are suflScient to meet all de- 

 mands. Koses are becoming scarce, but 

 the quality remains good. Fine speci- 

 mens of cyclamen and primula are find- 

 ing ready sales. The scarcity of ferns 

 is over and they are moving fast. 



AH the members of the trade report 

 a good Thanksgiving day business and 

 stock was good. In almost every case 

 there was plenty of everything, with 

 only a slight shortage of the better 

 grades of yellow mums. 



The growers are all well stocked for 

 Christmas, and especially in the late 

 varieties of chrysanthemums. Spokane 

 is getting to be the center of a large 

 shipping trade in mums. 



Various Notes. 



H. L. Olsson, Inc., is busy with ever- 

 green festoon orders. He is ready to 

 supply the trade with cyclamens that 

 are in keeping with the standard of 

 plants he has produced in other years. 



The Manito park greenhouses have 

 been a picture for the public to feast 

 on. Sunday finds the houses filled witli 

 visitors. It makes one of the best ad- 

 vertisements of flowers that the trade 

 could wish for. 



The promiiu'iit growers of Spokane 

 have taken a six months' contract for 

 advertisinj:. using the slogan promi- 

 nently. Tlic newspapers have been 

 chosen in prcfi^rcnce to billboards. 



Peters & iSons, of Hillyard, Wash., 

 will have a large cut of chrysanthe- 

 mums for the Christmas trade. They 

 are burning sawdust exclusively as a 

 fuel this year, with t,niod results. 



The Spokane Seed Co. reports a good 

 bulb trade this year. The fine, open fall 

 weather has allowed late planting. 



The Inland Seed Co. reports a com- 

 plete clean-up of all bulbous stock and is 

 now planning for the spring trade. 



The ever increasing demand for artifi- 

 cial baskets for Christinas is supplying 

 work for spare time in the stores and 

 Bome fine window displays of them are 

 ■een. H. H.
