Beauty roses largely in their new place 

 •n San Bruno road.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



The busy season has started right, 

 and signs of prosperity are everywhere. 

 September has wrought many changes; 

 the summer absentees have returned to 

 , take up the strenuous life again, and 

 after a long, hot, dry, spell, a bountiful 

 supply of rain has enriched vegetation 

 and enlivened both man and beast. The 

 late outdoor flowers promptly responded 

 to the soothing effects of the rain, en- 

 abling us to pick another big crop of 

 sweet peas, and a wealth of perfect 

 asters. 



Boses are showing up finely, but there 

 are none too many. This is always our 

 poorest month for carnations, being in 

 a sense the season known to the farmer 

 as "between hay and grass." A con- 

 tinuation of this fine fall weather for 

 a few weeks and everything will be 

 roseate. The volume of trade is all we 

 can expect, and enough to use up all 

 available material. We have not had so 

 much funeral work in September for a 

 number of years. Wedding orders, too, 

 have been a feature of some magnitude. 



Various Notes. 



Sunday, September 16, was a glorious 

 day, just the kind for an automobile 

 ride ; and where a . few weeks previous 

 we tramped through the suburban dust, 

 we can now cover the same territory in 

 much less time by the latest mode of 

 transportation. Portland is certainly 

 destiiied to become a great city, and we 

 love to watch it develop. From a com- 

 mercial standpoint, we have the neces- 

 sary railroad and water facilities, and 

 for the artistic, everything that can be 

 desired. On our last Sunday's trip, we 

 made Council Crest, the highest point of 

 Portland Heights, 1,200 feet above the 

 sea level, which has but recently been 

 reached by electric car service. From 

 this vantage point one has a magnificent 

 view of a great country. Three snow- 

 capped mountains are visible, Mt. St. 

 Helen's and Mt. Adams at the north, 

 and Mt. Hood, sixty miles to the east 

 towering majestically above all. This 

 beautiful panorama of nature is only 

 ond of the reasons why Portland Heights 

 has become so desirable a residence dis- 

 trict, and we were not surprised at the 

 building activity. And what will it 

 avail our profession f First, the land- 

 scape artist, then the nurseryman, and 

 eventually the florist, will profit by this 

 tide of progress. The slopes are gor- 

 geous with autumn foliage, the trees 

 donning their fall garments much earlier 

 here than in the east. Especially is this 

 30 of the soft maple, which is extensive- 

 ly used by the florists in decorating for 

 fall openings. 



E. Gill, the well-known grower of 

 hardy rosea of Berkeley, C^., accom- 

 panied by his son, is making his annual 

 trip through the northwest, and reports 

 a growing demand for his stock.

WiLKERSON, Wash. — C. E. Duneer 

 plans to remove to Minnesota in the 

 spring and build a range of three or 

 four houses. 



A New Remarkable Carolina Mountain Plant 



Stenanthium Robuatam, or Mountain Feather Fleece 



This remarkable hardy perennial la, without doabt, one of our best new 

 introductions, and may be classed with the showiest of all herbaceous 

 plants As the buds begrin to unfold in early Aueust ih»-y arequite upright, 

 and a llRfat green tinge, grraduahy becoming' whiter until at last they burst 

 forth into a veritable snowbank of drooping, fleecy bloom of pur* st white, 

 the panicles often 2 to S fet-t lonar. In September the flowers, as they ripen, 

 turn to shades of pink and purple It is a vigorous perennial, attaining a 

 bfltrht f'f fn m 5 to 8 feet when well establlsned, and If absolutely hardy 

 throughout the United States and Oanada. The Mountain Pea' her Fleece 

 is of easy cultivation, and If given plnnty of food, makes a wonder'ul show 

 equalled by few plants of any description. The lUuntratlon givfs some 

 Idt-a of the wonderful effect of Stenanthium when h< full bloom but Inad- 

 equa ely conveys the beauty of the delicate, feathered, drooping flowers. 

 Whnn known will be planted by thousands.
