 WILL. Take no chances, but order early. 



My list includes the greatest collection of 

 inovelties ever offered in this country — also

All California grown, budded on Manetti. 

 They can't be beat.

 received it write for a copy quick! 



Bulbs 



I offer bulbs from all the bulb growing: 

 regions of the world and, of course, am strong 

 on California grown kinds. Write for com- 

 plete list. 



You may think that it is impossible to obtain 



SPANISH IRIS 



in this country, but while they last I can 

 offer California grown bulbs in six varieties: 

 Alex von Humboldt — light blue. 

 Belle Chinoise — dark yellow. 

 Darling— light blue. 

 Emperor of the West — bronze. 

 King of the Blues— blue. 

 Snowball — pure white. 



$4.25 per hundred 

 $40.00 per thousand 



also 

 IRIS TINGITANA 

 <blue and earliest of all), which is even 

 scarcer. 



$7J0 per hundred 

 $70.00 per thousand 



Fruit Trees 



Any kind, any quantity. Having excellent 

 connections in both Oregon and California, I 

 can furnish stock from either district. Why 

 not attend to your needs now while you can 

 get what you want? Send in your list for 

 quotation. 



Moss 



F. O. B. Oregon. 



SPHAGNUM MOSS 



Best for Packing. 

 Nearly dry. Bales actually weigh 12S-140 

 pounds, but are charged for at 100 pounds 

 «ach, 20 bales to ton. 



In carload lots of about 200 bales, 



$S5.00 per ton. 

 In less than car lots; any quantity, 

 $5.00 per 100 lbs.; $05.00 per ton. 



SHEET MOSS 



Best for hanging baskets, etc. Perfectly dry; 

 liales weigh about 100 lbs. 



Price same as above. 



N. B. — Carloads can be supplied containing 

 both kinds of moss in any proportion cus- 

 tomer wishes, but in this case price will be 

 $95.00 per ton. 



F. O. B. California. (Mendocino County.) 



SHEET MOSS ONLY 



Perfectly dry; bales weigh about 60 lbs. 

 Single bales, $3.50 per bale. 

 10 Rale lots, $5.00 per 100 lbs. 

 20 Bale lots, $4.75 per 100 lbs. 



Rope 



Manila Rope Yarn. 

 An excellent nursery tying material, about 

 like binder twine. 



Grade A, $10.00 per 100 lbs. 



New, clean yarn. 

 Grade B, $7.00 per 100 lbs. 



Unwound from used rope. Good, strong 

 yarn but somewhat dirty. 



The truth of the matter is that I can supply 

 anything grown on the Pacific Coast in bulbs, 

 plants, trees, shrubs, rose bushes, etc. The 

 best and quickest way to fret what you want 

 in this line is to "try Clarke."

sale of bedding stock is past, although 

 there has been a good demand lately 

 for seeds. Primroses are not up to 

 standard and are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Late visitors included Mr. and Mrs. 

 B. M. Joseph, of Joseph's, San Fran- 

 cisco; J. M. Bridgeford, managing di- 

 rector of "Watkins & Simpson, Ltd., of 

 London, England, and Mr. and Mrs. 

 Paul Jandl, of the Spokane Florist Co. 

 The Josephs are on an automobile tour 

 of the Pacific coast and will visit Brit- 

 ish Columbia before returning home. 



S. A. Dunlap, until recently with the 

 Swetland Flower Shop, Portland, is 

 again attached to the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens, replacing Raymond Kester, who 

 has returned to Cleveland. Mr. Kester 

 made many friends in his short stay 

 in the northwest, and it was with regret 

 that it was learned climatic conditions 

 here are unfavorable to his stay. E. O. 

 Peterson, of this shop, is away on a 

 two. weeks' vacation trip. 



Fred Gust has left on his long trip 

 for the McCallum Co., and will visit 

 all of the Pacific coast and Eocky moun- 

 tain states before returning to his head- 

 quarters here. 



Lloyd Martin, of the Woodlawn 

 Flower Shop, is receiving congratula- 

 tions on his marriage last week to Miss 

 Ethel Stern. After a short wedding 

 trip, the young couple are at home on 

 Summit avenue. The store force pre- 

 sented the couple with a handsome silver 

 carving set. 



Funeral work has been heavy for 

 Kenney 's Home of Flowers. Among the 

 more notable pieces are double-ended 

 casket sprays worked out in red, white 

 and blue for the funeral services of 

 those soldiers whose bodies are being 

 brought back from France. 



Rosaia Bros, handled the church dec- 

 orations for a number of the largest 

 weddings. Much attention has been at- 

 tracted to a window wherein two large 

 tanks have been used for display. Water 

 lilies were shown in one of these, while 

 goldfish were shown in the other tank. 



General business is reported good at 

 the City Flower Shop, there being an 

 especially good movement of Ulrieh 

 Brunner roses. This shop made up a 

 huge bunch of this variety for the Dis- 

 abled Veterans' Association on the oc- 

 casion of its reception to a popular mo- 

 tion picture actress. 



Frank Bell is starting the delivery of 

 some fine yellow snapdragons and is 

 also handling a heavy cut of Cecile 

 Brunners. He expects to have a big 

 crop of pompons this fall. 



A nice business in large baskets was 

 reported for McCoy's on the occasion of 

 a bank's opening last week, with Ul- 

 rieh Brunner the favored flower among 

 these buyers. A novel decoration was 

 handled for the War Women's Associa- 

 tion, blue delphinium, carnations and 

 roses being used to reproduce the blue, 

 white and red of the French colors. 

 Some new pottery lines have been shown 

 as a window feature of late. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. has been se- 

 curing fine results from made-up baskets 

 at popular prices. Some of the most 

 delicately tinted sweet peas seen this 

 season have been handled by this shop, 

 notably coral shaded stock. 



George Lawlor, grower of Garden- 

 ville, is back from a business trip to 

 Spokane, and he advises that trade 

 conditions there were generally good.
