Bullrun, Ore. — W. L. Crissey enter- 

 tained the Portland Floral Society, Au- 

 gust 10, at his gladiolus farm, where in 

 two acres he has more than 20,000 plants 

 in bloom, of over forty varieties. 



PORTLAND, OBE. 



The Market. 



Business is down to summer level; 

 only an occasional funeral relieves the 

 monotony. There is a scarcity of choice 

 stock. Asters are the choicest flower 

 of the season and sell well. Gladioli 

 have been plentiful, but are gradually 

 becoming poorer in quality. Sweet peas 

 have about passed out of the market. 

 The new cut of roses is increasing in 

 quantity, but the blooms are short- 

 stemmed and prove poor keepers. Sal- 

 able carnations are scarce. Mums are 

 more in evidence in the windows, but it 

 is too early for them to be good sellers. 



Various Notes. 



S. H. Forshaw, of Pendleton, stopped 

 here on his way home from an extensive 

 eastern and southern trip. 



C. T. Kipp spent a day here en route 

 to Spokane, after a stay at the beaches. 



Mrs. E. M. Greig, of Anaconda, Mont., 

 was a week-end caller. 



Mr. Keegan, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., 

 San Francisco, is calling on the trade 

 this week. E. E. C. 



IX)S ANGELES. 



The Market. 



Business is improving, especially the 

 shipping end of it, while good funeral 

 work has also called for a lot of stock. 

 The best flowers are scarce, but there is 

 a lot of second-rate stock that drags 

 somewhat. Asters are not selling as 

 well as they were, and carnations are 

 being sold in the street when a day or 

 two old at 5 cents per dozen. Gladioli 

 are still fine in every respect except 

 that there are too many of them. Eoses 

 are of fair quality, but the outdoor sup- 

 ply of good stock is short. Ferns in 

 3-inch pots and upward are more plen- 

 tiful and make a pretty show, selling 

 fairly well. The funeral of a well- 

 known millionaire here made a great 

 deal of work, which was well dis- 

 tributed. 



Various Notes. 



Polder & Groen have entirely remod- 

 eled their water appliances. A wire has 

 been brought in from an adjacent high- 

 power line and a new motor ana pump 

 have been installed to force the water 

 to a gravity storage tank. Plenty of 

 water, at a good pressure all over the 

 place, is now at command — a great im- 

 provement over the old conditions. 



J. Eennison, formerly of the Germain 

 Seed & Plant Co. and more recently 

 manager of the Arizona Seed Co., of 

 Phoenix, has been on a visit in this 

 and other near-by cities in the interests 

 of his firm. 



The Freeman-Lewis Co. had a fine or- 

 der last week for a casket cover of lily 

 of the valley and white phalsenopsis 

 for the funeral of the late C. Canfield, 

 the oil magnate of this city. Mr. Lewis 



had charge of the arrangement of the 

 flowers at the funeral August 21. 



Carl S. Knopf, son of Albert Knopf, 

 of the Eedondo Floral Co., on Spring 

 street, was married August 20 to Miss 

 Florence Nelson. 



Anton Soethout, of the Hollywood 

 Nurseries, left recently for a two 

 weeks' tour through Oregon, Washing- 

 ton and other northern localities, in the 

 interests of his firm. He handles a 

 considerable quantity of northern stock 

 at his nurseries and likes to be early in 

 the buying field. 



S. Eoberts, lately of the nursery de- 

 partment of the Germain Seed & Plant 

 Co., died in the east, where he had 

 gone in search of health. Mr. Eoberts 

 had long" been ailing and great sympa- 

 try is felt for his wife. There was no 

 family. 



Gage & Co. are showing fine rubrura 

 lilies, and as we frequently see Mr. 

 Gage en route to Montebello, we con- 

 clude he puts in plenty of time at the 

 ranch now. 



Both C. Morton and F. Sperry 

 are back on the job at the Los Angeles 

 Flower Market, taking care of big con- 

 signments of magnolia and other per- 

 petuated material for the coming sea- 

 son. 



Carl Brose is leaving the staff of J. 

 W. Welters at the end of the month. 

 Such a good artist as he will soon be in 

 the harness again after a short vaca- 

 tion. 



Mrs. Avery has no connection now 

 with Ye Abbey Flower Shop, at Eighth 

 and Figueroa streets. Mrs. E. M. Dun- 

 das is now the sole owner of the busi- 

 ness. 



Albert Weedhall, of Bakersfield, was 

 visiting here last week. 



H. E. Eichards. 



SAN FBANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather continues cool and stock 

 of all the seasonable flowers is getting 

 better daily, in length of stem and in 

 color and form. Chrysanthemums, 

 though not yet plentiful, are good and 

 are moving rapidly. Asters are a 

 shade past their prime, but, owing to 

 the favorable weather, are really bet- 

 ter than those of one year ago. 

 Amaryllis are everywhere in evidence 

 and are being used largely for decorat- 

 ing. Japanese lilies are not quite so 

 plentiful as they have been, but they 

 are certainly good sellers this season.
