G. Eossi, of G. Eossi & Bro., has tem- 

 porarily retired from the green goods 

 business and is at present interested in 

 general contracting for cement work. 



M. W. Morse, the Piedmont florist, has 

 completed a row of apartment houses 

 close to the Key Eoute station, Pied- 

 mont.

 servatories.

State of Business. 



There is a better tone in business cir- 

 cles, the last two weeks showing a healthy 

 revival. The fall trade is opening up 

 satisfactorily, which we hope is a good 

 sign for a prosperous winter. The first 

 crop of roses is in great demand, espe- 

 cially the whites, as September is a 

 month of weddings and this year is no 

 exception. A much needed rain the lat- 

 ter part of August has improved the out- 

 door supply of cut flowers, particularly 

 the asters, which are at their best. With 

 favorable weather we will have them and 

 sweet peas for a month yet. Lilium 

 auratum, rubrum and album are selling 

 well and are most useful in helping to 

 keep up appearances. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Jewell, of The Dalles, was in 

 town last week, buying glass and a boiler 

 for a greenhouse. Mr. Jewell said that 

 while he is not a florist, his wife and 

 son have excellent taste for the busi- 

 ness, and he is going to start them right. 



We were also glad to meet Mrs. Frank 

 Zimmer, who succeeded the late Mrs. 

 Bosa Bausch, of Eugene; W. H. Morton, 

 of Hillsboro, and Mrs. G. A. Hannah, 

 of Grand Eapids, Mich., who was here 

 visiting her father. Jay Gould, of Kern 

 Park. 



A half holiday on Labor day enabled 

 us to pay a few social debts and we de- 

 cided on a trip to Oregon City. The 

 greenhouse establishments along this car 

 line are becoming more numerous and our 

 first stop was at Meldnim station, where 

 George Betz & Sons built 18,000 feet of 

 glass last year. This, with the Williams 

 avenue range in Portland, makes a total 

 of 40,000 feet, and eight acres of ground 

 here gives them ample space for further 

 expansion. This firm expects to dis- 

 pose of everything at retail and has just 

 opened an attractive little store at 349 

 Morrison street, Portland. 



Another range of 5,000 feet at Mel- 

 drum station was bailt last year by Byron

& Jensen, who had the best of success 

 with sweet peas and violets. They hope 

 to accomplish the same results this year 

 and the house of violets indicates that 

 they will. 



The next call was at Gladstone, where 

 Wilkinson & Hughes grow miscellaneous 

 stock for the wholesale trade. Planting 

 of the houses was in progress there. 



Arriving at Oregon City, it took us 

 an hour to climb 6,000 feet to Falls 

 View, where we called on K. G. Pierce. 

 He welcomed us cordially, remarking 

 that had he expected us he would have 

 met us at the foot of the hill with his 

 air-ship. Mr. Pierce conducts a profit- 

 able business growing small fruits and 

 cut flowers.
