the occasion being the opening of the 

 Elks' Temple. Thousands of visitors 

 were here and the whole city displayed 

 the Elks' colors. 



The Spokiine Florist Co. had a fine 

 float in the parade that was held, and 

 their window display was also striking. 



M. Lewis and H. Saunders, of Coeur 

 d'Alene, Idaho, were recent visitors in 

 town. 



W. S. Hoyt, of Hoyt Bros., spent the 

 week-end with his brother at Usk,

The Market. 



Trade last week was quiet as a whole, 

 with funeral work running nearer to 

 normal than any other single division 



of the sales. . , , j 



Stock additions for the week included 

 the first of the red oriental poppies, 

 while deliveries of Ulrich Brunner roses 

 have also begun in earnest. The cut of 

 peonies is increasing steadily and this 

 is fast becoming one of the most popu- 

 lar items offered at present. Ins is 

 another flower which is common and, 

 from the rate the cut of daisies has 

 been increasing, there is likely to be a 

 glut before long. Another novelty was 

 the first maple leaves of the season, 

 these being used freely in shop decora- 

 tions. , , ,.. 



Lilacs are plentiful and the white va- 

 riety has been popular. In contrast 

 with the situation of a few weeks ago, 

 there is a big demand for the few daffo- 

 dils being cut at this time, and those 

 shops having them on hand are able to 

 clean up their stock quickly. Calen- 

 dulas, anemones and yellow marguerites 

 have proved a colorful combination 

 among the made-up baskets featured m 

 some shops. 



The local cut of roses is increasing 

 steadily and some excellent stock is 

 coming to hand. Columbia, Ward and 

 Ophelia are in heavy supply. Cecile 

 Brunners are increasing. Ulrich Brun- 

 ner is beginning to figure, and one shop 

 made a special feature of some fine Rus- 

 sells last week. 



There has been a decline in the cuts 

 of orchids lately, but the demand has 

 fallen off to a corresponding degree, so 

 that no hardship has been worked. Lily 

 of the valley is in ample supply and 

 sweet peas are profuse and colorful. 

 The cut of carnations being sent in by 

 local growers is showing regular im- 

 provement and, from present indica- 

 tions, several local growers will this

 Snapdragon and gladioli are both 

 more plentiful. The sale of potted 

 stock, outside of ferns, has been light, 

 due almost entirely to a scarcity of

Bedding stock sales have been much 

 better of late, weather conditions being 

 entirely favorable. There is a scarcity

 Retailers who handle bedding stock ad- 

 vise that there has been more interest 

 shown in these plants this season than 

 in previous years, this being especially 

 true of stock for window boxes.
