short time. The specialty here is small, 

 neat flowering and foliage plants and 

 bedding stock, and it is all in the pink 

 of condition. A new greenhouse, 26x 

 100 feet, is to be erected at once.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business has shown a wonderful im- 

 provement in the last few weeks, but 

 as long as the weather remains pleas- 

 ant, there will be a variety of outside 

 flowers, which will lessen the demand. 

 Stock of all varieties is plentiful. 

 Chrysanthemums are not overplentiful, 

 yet it is rather early to handle them 

 in quantities. Eoses are coming in 

 nicely, Hillingdons, Maids, Killarneys 

 and Eichmonds being the leading va- 

 rieties. Carnations, with good flowers 

 and vigorous stems, are becoming more 

 plentiful. Asters have about run their 

 course. While the flowers are good, 

 the stems have shortened considerably. 

 Violets have at last made their appear- 

 ance, but the quality is only fair and 

 they prove poor keepers. Orchids and 

 valley have had a steady call on ac- 

 count of the many prominent weddings 

 of late. With the advance of fall, 

 there has been a good demand for 

 palms and ferns. 



The Dahlia Show. 



The Portland Dahlia Society held its 

 first show at the Library building, 

 September 24 and 25, this being the 

 outcome of the efforts of the dahlia 

 growers of this city, who organized 

 last July. Much credit is due Presi- 

 dent Eay Gill and Secretary E. H. 

 White for the success of the show, 

 which was open to professionals and 

 amateurs alike. There were no awards 

 in the professional class, by agree- 

 ment, as competition was keen. In the 

 amateur class, there were many prizes 

 awarded, which were donated by the 

 members of the society. 



Exhibitors from Tacoma had the 

 finest varieties of the cactus type, 

 while Portland excelled in the peony 

 type. Ashland, Ore., also competed in 

 all types. The Portland Seed Co., Gill 

 Bros., the Eoutledge Seed & Floral Co. 

 and the Willamette Dahlia Co. were 

 the largest exhibitors. About 1,000 va- 

 rieties were shown. The judges were 

 C. B. Beckstead, E. E. Gill and Peter 

 Adams. Zimmerman Bros, also made 

 a display of annuals and perennials. 



It is the object of the society to 

 make the show an annual event and to 

 make the dahlia the fall flower to vie 

 with the rose for honors, for which this 

 city is well known. 



Various Notes. 



The Martin & Forbes Co. is grow- 

 ing the Gorgeous carnation this sea- 

 son. This is a beautiful flower of Amer- 

 ican Beauty color, the cut and quality 

 exceeding expectations, and it bids fair 

 to be a popular variety. 



E, L. Scott has several houses of 

 choice ferns, for which he finds t ready 

 market. 



C. A. Epperson, formerly of the 

 Eoutledge Seed & Floral Co., has 

 opened an oflSce at Fpurth and Main 

 streets, and' intends to handle high- 

 grade bulbs aiMd^j nursery stock. He 

 also intends to do landscape work.
