mentals, is proving to be a fine invest- 

 ment. 



Frank Bell has returned from a hunt- 

 ing trip ift Lake Crescent. The only 

 big game seen was a bear that eluded 

 pursuit, but grouse were plentiful and 

 good sport was had with them. T. W. 



POSTIiAND, OBE. 



The Market. 



Business has started off with a rush. 

 Weddings of prominence are numerous. 

 Orchids and valley have been meeting 

 with an unusual demand and the locid 

 supply is limited. There is a good sup- 

 ply of roses in all varieties and they sell 

 readily. Carnations are improving, but 

 are yet far from a surplus and are 

 usually sold out before the day is over. 

 Mums are a little late this year and 

 therefore a scarcity prevails. The mum 

 fly has been hard to cope with this 

 season; in some of the ranges the stock 

 was badly injured and it took con- 

 stant attention to keep the pests down. 

 Shipments from California are being 

 used to relieve the deficiency. Several 

 slight frosts have injured the outside 

 stock, but in secluded places some flow- 

 ers are still to be found. Violets are 

 more plentiful and move readily. 



Various Notes. 



F, Borsch has left for California, 

 where he expects to spend the winter. 



Mr. Bose, representing the Sefton 

 Mfg. Co., was a week-end caller. 



Charles Welty returned last week 

 from an extended trip to Europe. He 

 reports having had an exceedingly pleas- 

 ant time. E. R. C. 



TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



This city was visited Saturday night, 

 October 4, by a heavy frost. The ther- 

 mometers in some places registered as 

 low as 22 degrees above zero and all 

 kinds of outdoor stock were more or 

 less damaged. We still see a few sweet 

 peas, asters, marigolds, etc., grown in 

 protected places, but flowers of this 

 kind are almost gone. Carnations are 

 arriving in greater quantity, but are of 

 poor quality and are still far short of 

 the demand. Chrysanthemums are more 

 plentiful and a great deal of California 

 stock is seen. There are many fine, 

 big blooms with little foliage, due 

 partly to poor packing by the growers. 

 Roses are of fair quality and bring 

 good prices. Last week was an unusu- 

 ally busy one, with several funerals and 

 decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. M. E. Hayden is showing an 

 autumn effect in the decoration of her 

 store and windows. Mr. Miller, her 

 store manager, reports business as extra 

 good. 



Mr. Goldsack, for the last few years 

 grower at the greenhouses of A. A. 

 Hinz, has purchased an interest in the 

 place of Robert Davis, at Larchmont. 

 One house, 20 x 100, is being added and 

 "i^ther improvements are being made. 

 The houses will be used for lettuce this 

 ■winter, followed by tomatoes and bed- 

 ding plants next spring and summer. 



Several of the local growers made a 

 trip to Seattle last week, calling on the 

 growers there. 



There is much talk about a bowling 

 team this winter. It is hoped that a
