SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business holds up remarkably well 

 and to date has shown few signs of the 

 usual slump that accompanies the sum- 

 mer months. There have been many 

 weddings and other society functions 

 calling for more or less elaborate decora- 

 tions, all of which are especially wel- 

 come at this season. Funeral work has 

 been a telling factor. 



Stock is plentiful and good. Outdoor 

 sweet peas have made their appearance, 

 but it will be another two weeks be- 

 fore the good Spencers arrive. Until 

 then florists will rely on the greenhouse- 

 grown stock, which Spokane growers 

 seem to grow to perfection. 



An unusual condition prevails in 

 that, as late as June 21, peonies have 

 only been in the market a few days and 

 there still are available such flowers as 

 snowballs, lilacs and spiraeas. 



Various Notes. 



At the Hoyt Bros. Co. greenhouses 

 Killaniev is being replaced by Ophelia. 

 Killarney will no longer be grown at 

 tliis range, as Ophelia is setting a pace 

 too fast for the older variety. A large 

 ])lanting of Baby Doll and Bon Silene 

 is being made. 



The Spokane Greeiihonsn Co. reports 

 tlie season's business to liave been a 

 record-breaker, the late planting en- 

 abling the company to clean up on 

 nearly all short lines. 



Bernson &; Halle and II. L. Olssou are 

 running a friendly race as to who can 

 ])roduce the better sweet peas. To date 

 honors are about even, with tlie retailers 

 completely satisfied. 



Claude Matson, formerly decorator 

 for the Davenport hotel and later with 

 the Hollywood Gardens, at Seattle, has 

 accepted a position witli Adolpli Donart, 

 succeeding E. Stapleton, wlio resigned 

 some weeks ago. 



June l.'i Mrs. Mary Burt, wife of the 

 ])ioneer florist, A. J. Burt, passed away. 

 Her death brouglit to an end many years 

 of suff"ering. 



Mrs. .Tohanna Lozier, aged .1(5 years.

The Maxket. 



Tlie (Miiiilitiou of the market last week 

 was ])raetieaUy the same as the week 

 previous. Indoor sweet peas were at 

 their best and had a good call. Carna- 

 tions, also, were in demand and were 

 ])lentiful. All kinds of seasonable stock 

 sell well and are in good supply, with 

 the possible exception of delphiniums, 

 which are extremely popular. Peonies 

 are coming in large quantities. A week 

 of sunshine has brouglit roses along and 

 it is certain they will be in big supply
