Bellingliam, Wash. — Adolph Allen- 

 borch is proprietor of the Cornwall 

 Park Greenhouse. 



Spokane, Wash. — The Spokane Flo- 

 rist Co., conducted by C. T. Kipp and 

 Paul Jandl, has taken a 5-year lease on 

 a store in the Mohawk block, on River- 

 side street. Messrs. Kipp and Jandl 

 propose to make the new location one 

 of the finest flower shops in the west. 

 In addition to the main store, 23x90, 

 they will build a roof garden green- 

 house, 14x29. The store will be deco- 

 rated with a permanent fountain six 

 feet in diameter. The company's shop 

 in the Davenport hotel will be con- 

 tinued. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The demand for flowers for social 

 functions has been light. A fair amount 

 of funeral work has been handled. 



Gladioli, asters and a variety of gar- 

 den flowers fill the display windows. 

 Some splendid Ulrich Brunner roses 

 with extra long stems are shown. 

 Golden Glow mums and dahlias are 

 featured in some of the displays. 

 Potted ferns are displayed, but the 

 season is not far enough advanced for 

 any great demand for them. 



Club Meeting. 



At the meeting of the Portland Flo- 

 ral Society held at its headquarters in 

 Masonic Temple, August 17, H. E. 

 Weed and Guy M. Pilkington reported 

 that the thirty-five park superintend- 

 ents who spent Sunday, August 15, in 

 Portland were well pleased with the 

 attention shown them. Through the 

 department of public parks, automo- 

 biles were provided, and the party was 

 taken over the scenic boulevards along 

 the west side hills and to the main 

 city park. They visited several parks 

 and playgrounds and were served with 

 a fine lunch on the summit of Mt. 

 Tabor. Those who stayed until the 

 evening train were given a banquet 

 at the Commercial club, at which Geo. 

 L. Baker, commissioner of the park 

 bureau, presided. Jas. O. Convill, park 

 superintendent, and E. T. Mische, city 

 landscape architect, took leading parts 

 in entertaining the visitors. 



Julius Dossche, of the exhibition 

 committee, stated that arrangements 

 had been completed for a floral center 

 at Vancouver, Wash., to be staged at 

 the time of the Clarke county fair, 

 September 6 to 11, and that about 

 5,000 potted plants would be needed. 

 Booths will be erected for the exhibi- 

 tion of cut flowers, in which dahlias 

 will be the leading flower. 



R. W. Gill, manager of the fall show 

 of the Northwest National Dahlia So- 

 ciety, reported satisfactory progress 

 with plans for the show, which is to 

 be held in the Meier & Frank depart- 

 ment store building September 23 to 

 25. 



H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult- 

 nomah county fair, said the beds of 

 plants set out by members of the so- 

 ciety at the Gresham grounds were all | 

 in fine condition. 



The entertainment consisted of a 

 talk by E. H, White, of the Willamette 

 Dahlia Co., on the work being done 

 by his company and other growers to 

 improve the quality of the dahlia. He 

 exhibited several seedlings which his 

 company is developing, and named and 

 described several imported varieties 

 which he had brought in. R. W. Gill 

 stated that the petals of the dahlia 

 had a greater capacity for absorbing 

 moisture than those of any other 

 flower and that this characteristic 

 made possible the shipment of dahlia 

 blooms for a considerable distance. 



One new member was elected, and 

 one application for membership read. 

 A resolution^ providing rules to govern 

 the society's officers in sending flow- 

 ers to the funerals of deceased mem- 

 bers or of their near relatives was dis- 

 cussed and referred to the board of 

 trustees.

LOS ANGELES. 



The Market. 



There has been an unusually heavy 

 call for funeral work this week, and 

 for one funeral two large motor trucks 

 of flowers were sent to the cemetery. 

 But while this uses a lot of flowers 

 and greens, there are still large num- 

 bers left and every day sees a lot of 

 stock dumped out. Golden Glow and 

 Monrovia chrysanthemums are the 

 principal additions to the stock of- 

 fered this week.
