 being left by visitors from all parts 

 of the country. Most of the stock is 

 grown in California, and is unusually 

 fine. Mr. Navlet is getting out his fall 

 catalogue. S. H. G.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business last week was a little above 

 the average for the season, due to a 

 good demand for funeral work. Good 

 asters, gladioli, sweet peas and auratum 

 and rubrum lilies are in oversupply. 

 Carnations cut from newly benched 

 plants have appeared. There are 

 plenty of good roses. The new dahlia, 

 M:innie Burgle, adds color to several 

 window displays. A second crop of 

 blooms from the delphiniums is com- 

 ing in. Cattleya Gaskelliana is the 

 only variety of orchid producing blooms 

 and the supply is not equal to the de- 

 mand. 



Various Notes. 



C. C. Ruenitz devotes his entire 

 range to growing pot plants. At his 

 store on upper Washington street, he 

 keeps a display of them that includes 

 a 10-year-old cactus, Cephalocereus 

 eenilis. 



Fred Wiedemann has gone to south- 

 orn Oregon on a hunting trip. 



J. I. Bobinson is bringing in carna- 

 tions cut from new plants.

 cutting Golden Glow mums for over 

 three weeks.

 ing a strong effort to destroy the elm 

 beetles which have appeared in several 

 sections of the city. 



Meadowbrook Farm, located on the 

 electric line five miles east of the city 

 Hmits, "was bought fire years ago by 

 the Mountain View Floral Co. It 

 now is all under cultivation and is 

 used by the company as a nursery. The 

 land slopes gently to the south. The 

 floil is loose, with a little gravel, and 

 is easily cultivated. Its fertility is 

 evident in the vigorous appearance of 

 the stock. The company grows im- 

 ported and native shrubbery and orna- 

 mentals, a variety of perennials and 

 trees. The principal product is rose 

 plants, of which about 250 varieties

 favor budded stock, which they claim 

 is more enduring aiid produces better. 

 French Manetti stocks are used exten- 

 sively, but for some varieties of roses 

 other stocks have been found prefer- 

 able. At the company's city plant, at 

 East Seventy-second and Mill streets, 

 propagating is done and several acres 

 are filled with roses and nursery stock. 

 Considerable work has been done this 

 summer on repairs to the greenhouses.
