of the float was made of yellow muma, 

 with suitable admixture of greens; 

 the lettering around the top, of core- 

 opsis and African marigolds. The 

 field of the flag was of white carna- 

 tions, on a base of Minnie Burgle 

 dahlias, the bear of scabiosas and the 

 star of red carnations. 



The Art Floral Co. had quite an 

 elaborate decoration this week at the 

 St. Francis hotel, for a dinner of the 

 Horse Breeders' Association, at which 

 tables were laid for about 100. The 

 central feature was a large mass of 

 tiger lilies, with many figures of run- 

 ning horses made up of marigolds. 



Fred Grohe and Mrs. Margaret 

 Butts, Santa Eosa florists, have been 

 sending down a lot of stock for their 

 county exhibit at the exposition.

The Market. 



Conditions last week were even bet- 

 ter than those of the week before. All 

 of the*^rst-class stock was cleaned up 

 daily and there was but little waste 

 of poorer materials. The public 

 schools were opened September 7 and 

 brought back many families from their 

 summer vacations. Jewish New Year's 

 came September 9 and was celebrated 

 extensively with flowers. The demand 

 for funeral work has been good. 



Good asters still come in, but their 

 end is in sight. Carnations are more 



Plentiful and the cut of roses is normal, 

 'ems are beginning to sell and the 

 first cyclamens and obconicas are 

 shown. The demand for orchids has 

 «xceeded the supply. 



Floral Center at Fair. 



The Clarke county fair was held at 

 "Vancouver, Wash., last week and in 

 connection with it a floral center was 

 «stabli8hed in the business district of 

 the city, designed by Julius Dorsche, of 

 the committee on exhibitions of the 

 Portland Floral Society. The center 

 occupied the street for one block and 

 was enclosed by a neat picket fence. 

 Alongside and partway across the ends 

 were beds of potted plants, set in wet 

 sand. About 4,000 plants were used. 

 ■Geraniums, cockscombs, tfuchsias, co- 

 leus, heliotropes and tuberous begonias 

 were the principal varieties and they 

 made a creditable showing, considering 

 the time of year and the fact that 

 none of the growers had expected such 

 a call, as this is an innovation at 

 county fairs. 



In the middle of the street were 

 booths for the exhibition of dahlias. 

 The Willamette Dahlia Co., the Colum- 

 bia Dahlia Co. and Gill Bros, each 

 filled one booth. The rest were occu- 

 pied by amateur displays. 



The center was well lighted by 

 strings of electric bulbs. 



The florists hope that other counties 

 will follow the example of Clarke 

 county and use a floral display as one 

 of the attractions at the annual fairs. 



Various Notes. 



The September meeting of the Port- 

 land Floral Society will be held at Ma- 

 sonic Temple at 8 o'clock, September 

 21. Some important matters will be 

 -discussed.
