ciety voted $100 for the expenses of the 

 picnic. 



W. Wern, manager of Wright's Flow- 

 er Shop, left recently on an automobile 

 trip and was last heard of near the 

 Mexican border. Bobert Garland, of this 

 store, gave a stag party July 22, to 

 which all the store force was invited. 

 All report the best of times and Fred 

 Westrom said that for once he had 

 enough chicken — the kind with wings. 



The new red rose, already mentioned 

 as seen at Mr. Bridgeford's place at 

 Eagle Bock, is proving a fine thing, the 

 flowers being elegant in color and quite 

 double, while the growth is all that 

 could be desired — clean and strong. 

 This should prove a money-maker for 

 our friend Bridgeford, who richly de- 

 serves all success coming his way, for 

 his motto is always "Quality first." 



Dr. Houghton and his bride have ar- 

 rived in Los Angeles and are at present 

 at the Hershey Arms.

The Market. 



Last week the Potlatch stimulated 

 trade a little, but now it is back to 

 its usual quietness. The stores are 

 keeping their doors open, but the cus- 

 tomers are few. Oarnations are scarce, 

 but suflScient for the demand, and the 

 same may be said of roses. Sweet peas 

 are hardly worth handling. Gladioli 

 are on sale, but not selling fast. This 

 is a good time for the retailers to get 

 around and see what the growers are 

 doing. 



Various Notes. 



The Bosery was successful in securing 

 prizes in the Potlatch automobile pa- 

 rade. Out of four entries they had 

 two first and two second prizes. For 

 the automobile confined to florists, in 

 which -most of the leading stores com- 

 peted, they got first prize for a hand- 

 somely decorated car. They also got a 

 first for automobile float and seconds 

 for closed car and open touring cSr. 

 H. B. Burdett and E. Mattria were also 

 successful in the prize list. 



John CroU, who lately retired from 

 the firm of Det & CroU, seedsmen, nur- 

 serymen and florists, of Dundee, Scot- 

 land, with his wife, has been taking a 

 well earned vacation after forty years 

 of business. They are making a tour 

 of the United States and Canada and 

 last week were Seattle visitors. Need- 

 less to say, they were impressed with 

 our wonderful city and delighted with 

 the climate and surroundings. 



The warm weather has come as a 

 pleasant change after the long season 

 of dull and rainy weather we have h^d. 

 It makes it slightlv sultry under glass, 

 but there is usually a pleasant breeie. 

 Growers are busy -getting their carna- 

 tions inside and most of them are well 

 on to finishing this work.

 are but few of them at best, and those

 larger than Maids, and to get any 

 fancy stock is out of the question. The 

 carnation growers are at present in the 

 midst of shifting thair benches and 

 consequently the etocic is neither up to

 not yet at their best, they are of good 

 quality throughout. The growers are
