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. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Stock in chrysanthemums is a little 

 scarce, due to Thanksgiving trade. 

 Carnations are sufficient 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. 



All the members of the trade report 

 a good Thanksgiving day business and 

 stock was good. In almost every case 

 there was plenty of everytliing, 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 chrysantliemums. 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 (>rd(M-s. He is ready tn 

 supply the trade with cyclamens thai 

 are in keeping witli 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 iiiakcs one of the best ad- 

 vertisements ni' ilowers that the trade 

 could wish for. 



The ])romiiifiit growers of Sjiokane 

 have taken a six months' contract for 

 advertising, using the slogan promi- 

 nently. The newspapers have been 

 chosen in preference to billboards. 



Peters tV Sous, of Ilillyard, Wash., 

 will have a large cut of chrysanthe- 

 mums for the Christmas trade. They 

 are burning sawdust exclusively as a 

 fuel this year, with jznod 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 Cliristmas is supplying 

 work for spare time in the stores and 

 some fine window displays of them are 

 seen. H. H.
