 • Walter A. Martin, of 435 Lombard 



street, grower of dahlias, roses, peren- 

 nials, etc., died last week. He had been 

 sick for some time. Mrs. Martin is 

 conducting the business. 



The Martin & Forbes Co. was award- 

 ed first prize for the best decorated 

 florists' window in the dress-up week 

 contest. The prominent features were 

 a large vase of Ophelia roses, a basket 

 of Oncidium tigrinum and a hamper of 

 violets. The background consisted of 

 greenery and autumn foliage, dressed 

 with satin ribbon of the same tint as 

 the roses. The charm of the window 

 was in the attractive arrangement of 

 the materials. 



Clarke Bros, were given second place 

 in the window contest. Vases of Mrs. 

 Chas. Bussell roses, Hi Gill dahlias and 

 mums and other flowers were artistic- 

 ally arranged in massed groups. 



Mrs. Burkhardt, widow of the late 

 Alfred C. F. Burkhardt, has leased her 

 retail store and greenhouse range to the 

 Swiss Floral Co. E. J. Nausa, who was 

 with Mr. Burkhardt for eight years, 

 has been placed in charge of the store. 



The fire which destroyed the resi- 

 dence and church of Father Schooner, 

 at Brooks, Ore., October 9, also de- 

 stroyed the plants in the adjoining ex- 

 periment gardens. For several years 

 Father Schooner had devoted all of his 

 spare time and available means to th« 

 propagation of new roses and fruits. 

 He had a large number of varieties in 

 different stages of development, many 

 of the plants having been imported at 

 considerable expense, and their loss has 

 been a severe blow to him. His work 

 has attracted the attention of the Port- 

 land Chamber of Commerce and a move 

 is on foot to make provision for him 

 to continue his work. 



The light yellow peony dahlias 

 shipped from ' Seattle to Clarke Bros, 

 appear to be good keepers, a quality 

 sadly lacking in many beautiful vari- 

 eties. It is called the Hi Gill, after 

 Seattle's popular mayor. S. W. W.

The Market. 



While there has been considerable 

 funeral work and a few nice dinner 

 decorations, the trade shows less activ- 

 ity than for some time; the daily offer- 

 ings do not clean up quickly. In view 

 of the large supplies, however, the mar- 

 ket is in excellent shape. With favor- 

 able weather, small summer stock is 

 holding out remarkably well. Scabiosas 

 are not so good, but there are plenty of 

 marigolds, gypsophilas, statice, etc. 

 There is an abundance of amarantus 

 and last week there were heavy offer- 

 ings of cosmos, which were well taken. 

 Dahlias are as fine and nearly as plen- 

 tiful as ever, but are not helped by 

 being in competition with mums. There 

 still are a good many gladioli, rather 

 small, but otherwise good, and they 

 move fairly well. Asters are about gone, 

 but the Chinese, who bring most of 

 them to the market, are now offering 

 great quantities of outdoor chrysanthe- 

 mums, which are attractive and find a 

 good demand. With these chrysanthe- 

 mums and pompons, which are much 

 more plentiful and popular, and the 

 magnificent indoor mums in almost in-
