The Market. 



; The weather has been extremely dry 

 and warm, but perennials are holding 

 out exceedingly well. Gladioli are a 

 glut on the market. Sweet peas and as- 

 ters are plentiful. There are no green-, 

 house-grown flowers being offered, ex- 

 cept a few pink roses and a few car- 

 ried-over carnations, but as there has 

 not been a large demand for any of 

 them they are not greatly missed. The 

 newly planted carnations appear to be i 

 in splendid shape, but there will be no 

 cut for at least another six weeks. The 

 growers are not represented in the 

 downtown stores, as the other flowers 

 are principally grown by amateurs. 



Business last week was not up to 

 the standard, but the near future prob- 

 ably will be more prosperous, as more 

 decorations have been demanded. Jhere 

 is a good demand for orchids, but the 

 quantity offered is small. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy has* her green- 

 houses planted and stocked for the fall 

 season. Gene Lambert, at the store, is 

 reporting good business. 



Rosaia Bros, had a decoration for the 

 bi.nkers' convention. 



J. P. Burns, manager of the Holly- 

 wood Gardens, is cutting good orchids. 

 He has a splendid house of ferns. 



Thomas Wiley has returned from his 

 trip to San Francisco, where he at- 

 tended the Scotch Clans' meeting. He 

 had a pleasant trip, but was so greatly 

 engaged with his party that he did not 

 have time to see much of the florists' 

 convention. 



W. S. Goldsbury, formerly of the 

 Crescent Floral Shop, will join the 

 force of the Buyer & Bell Co. 



Among recent visitors were J, J. 

 Hess, of Omaha, and Charles P. Muel- 

 ler, of Wichita, Kan. C. E. M.

Dahlia Show. 



The fifth annual dahlia show of the 

 Tacoma Dahlia Society, held August 

 20 and 21, was a marked success. None 

 of the previous shows could compare, 

 in either quality or quantity, with the 

 dahlias of this year's show. The large 

 attendance was unprecedented. Thou- 

 sands of spectators flocked to the roof 

 garden of the Rhodes Bros.' building, 

 where the exhibits were displayed. Al- 

 though the weather was excessively 

 hot, the dahlias, sweet peas, asters and 

 other flowers withstood the heat admir- 

 ably, the blooms remaining fresh until 

 the close. 



The judges chosen were Mrs. H. W. 

 Lindhart, Alfred Jacobson, J. W. Mil- 

 ton, George Seaverns, F. C. Smith and 

 L. Graham.

J. R. Thompson, secretary of the Ta-
