range completed and planted to <iarna- 

 tions. 



The flower show committee of the 

 Florists' Club is working out the de- 

 tails of the coming big show. A defi- 

 nite date has not yet been agreed upon, 

 this being governed by the condition 

 of the mum crop. J. L. S.

The Market. 



The last half of September showed an 

 upward trend in business. Weddings, 

 funerals and social functions have'been 

 numerous, with a consequent call for 

 first grade stock. Outside stock is grad- 

 ually on the wane. Asters are slowly 

 passing away. Sweet peas have been 

 dispensed with for several weeks. Cos- 

 mos and dahlias are coming in nicely. 

 Mums are gradually becoming more 

 plentiful, but are far from in surplus, 

 Monrovia and October Frost being in 

 the majority. Eoses are coming in nice- 

 ly, with an improvement in quality. 

 There is a steady demand for the choice 

 grades. Carnations, while rather scarce, 

 are showing good form and command a 

 fair price, especially the darker shades. 

 There is a general scarcity of valley 

 and orchids, there being a brisk demand. 

 Violets are to be had in limited quanti- 

 ties. The first flowers often prove un- 

 satisfactory to the critical flower buy- 

 ers. Jewish New Year was a c^sider- 

 able help to the week-end business, 

 with a good call for flowers, but a still 

 better demand for plants and ferns. 



Various Notes. 



The People's Floral Shop has opened 

 at 241 Alder street, also in the entrance 

 of the Kainbow Grill, on Broadway, and 

 reports business satisfactory. 



H. Kohn, a local jeweler, is gradually 

 working himself into the flower line. He 

 has one house of assorted plants and 

 will soon add another. He has an eight- 

 acre tract well situated for the purpose.

The Market. 



A survey of business in general shows 

 a prevailing quietude. The local de- 

 pression in business has severely hit the 

 florists and no standard of prices pre- 

 ' vails. Stock is not overplentiful. The 

 major part of the supply is shipped 

 from Seattle. Carnations are increas- 

 ing in supply. Roses are fairly abun- 

 dant; Beauties, Chatenays and Killar- 

 neys are the predominant varieties. 

 Asters are plentiful in all colors; the 

 best varieties are readily sold for 50 

 cents per dozen and all other flowers 

 at the same ratio. 



Various Notes. 



A call at the Convent Gardens proved 

 that Mr. Heflfner is cordial in manner 

 as well as an enterprising man. He 

 has a nice location and handles some of 

 the best trade. 



At their main store Brown Bros. & 

 Co. do a general seed, bulb and flower 

 business, the largest business of its 

 kind in the city. They have a large 

 range of glass at Victoria, where they 

 grow for the wholesale and retail trade. 

 They also operate two branch stores, 

 which bring good results. 



M. Flagg has a nice" little store on 

 Granville street, where he does a good 

 cut flower business.
