\ing violets to the eastern trade in first- 

 class eMAition. While things are a lit- 

 tle quiet 'just now, Mrs. Darbee has re- 

 cently taken on additional help at the 

 store on Hyde street. 



The planting of tuberous begonias in 

 the Netherlands gardens at the exposi- 

 tion is now coming into bloom. In one 

 of the exhibit beds there is a fine show- 

 ing of godetias, and the gladiolus col- 

 lections of the Metzner Floral Co., 

 Mountain View, are excejlent, with 

 stalks nearly six feet tall. The cannas 

 are making a brave effort to bloom, but 

 look uncomfortable in the cool wind.

The Market. 



Business has been dull during the 

 last week. Social events and funerals 

 have been scarce. Counter trade has 

 not taken much stock. 



Carnations of unusually good quality 

 for this time of year are coming in 

 faster than the market can handle 

 them. Some of the stores offer them 

 at cut prices. Some good roses cut 

 from newly set stock are shown; 

 Kaiserin, Mrs. Bussell, Ophelia and 

 Hadley. The first asters have made 

 their appearance. 



Outdoor stock of all kinds and as- 

 paragus greens are in oversupply. The 

 sweet pea show has directed special at- 

 tention to that flower and has kept 

 the market up. Outdoor gladioli of 

 splendid quality are shown in all the 

 window displays. Mrs. King is one 

 of the favorite varieties. 



Sweet Pea Show. 



A well attended show was held by 

 the Oregon Sweet Pea Society July 9 

 and 10. Non-competitive exhibits were 

 entered by nearly all the large flower 

 stores, by the Portland Floral Society, 

 the Portland Union Stockyards, the 

 Swiss Floral Co., Mrs. Harriet Hendee, 

 Capt. Geo. Pope and Zimmerman Bros. 



In the competitive exhibits Mrs. 

 Etta M. Marshall, of Kent, Wash., won 

 the grand prizes for amateurs and for 

 exhibits from outside this county. The 

 exhibit of Capt. Pope attracted the 

 greatest interest. He showed twenty 

 new varieties of his own creation. The 

 committee on awards recommended that 

 he be given a special trophy for his 

 efforts in improving sweet peas. The 

 Portland Union Stockyards, through 

 Manager O. M. Plummer, distributed a 

 large number of bunches of sweet peas 

 free to visitors. 



Henry Pegney won first prize for ex- 

 hibits by private gardeners. 



Florists' Picnic. 



Sunday, July 4, was a red-letter day 

 in the history of the Portland Floral 

 Society, for on it was held the best 

 attended and most successful picnic the 

 society has ever given. I)own(town 

 stores were closed all day, and the 

 greenhouses were deserted. All hands, 

 with their families and friends, went 

 to the picnic given by the society at 

 Schnoerr's park, near Oregon City, an 

 eighteen-mile ride by electric car from 

 Portland. The day* was partly cloudy 

 and cool, just perfect for outdoor en- 

 joyment. All sorts of amusement con- 

 trivances were found at the park and 

 the river was handy for those who 

 wanted to take a plunge. An ample 

 quantity of refreshments was furnished 

 by the society and everything on the 

 grounds was free.

Committeemen Scott and Zitzewitz 

 had a variety of contests and games on 

 the program, and there was something 

 of interest going on every minute. 

 Among the prize-winners were: Ben 

 Van Kirk, in the married men's race; 

 Carl Bahn, in boys' race; August Zitze- 

 witz, in fat men's race; "Stub" 

 Smith, in sack race; Van Kirk and 

 Langstaff, in three-legged race; Mrs. 

 Mann, in married women's race; Mrs. 

 Kobinson, in fat women's race, and 

 Mrs. Mann, in string-winding race. 



"Judge" F. A. Van Kirk levied 

 fines totaling $7,40 at his Kangaroo 

 court. 



The Society of the Yellow Dog held 

 Jin almost continuous session. About 

 forty new members were initiated. As 

 this is a secret order, special quarters 

 had to be provided, safe from intru- 

 sion, and the candidates for admission 

 were divided into a number of classes. 

 The Supreme Canine and his aides 

 must have handled at least eight 

 classes. This was a strenuous day 's 

 work for them, and proves their loyalty 

 and devotion to the sacred cause of 

 the society. 



A graphophone and piano furnished 

 music for dancing at the pavilion. 

 There were no restrictions on shooting 

 firecrackers and some members of the 

 older generation had as much fun with 

 them as did the young people. 



Coral Van Kirk and Julius Dorsche 

 led in much of the fun-making. 



When last seen. Secretary Niklas was 

 bound for the river. 



Howard Earle, of W. Atlee Burpee & 

 Co., came to the picnic with J. J. 

 Butzer. On the way he bought the en- 

 tire stock of firecrackers of a country 

 store and so was prepared to cele- 

 brate. He was initiated into the Soci- 

 ety of the Yellow Dog. 



According to the number of badges 

 given out by the committee, about 250 

 attended the picnic. 



Mr. Rahn showed his agility on the 

 flying rings. 



Sam Roake was an eflBcient worker 

 in the interests of the S. Y. D.

 too good to take out.
