G. A. Kayser, Seattle, was a week end 

 caller. He is connected with the H. E. 

 Friday Co. E. E. C, 



At the rose festival or annual exhibi- 

 tion of the Bose Society, in the Cali- 

 fornia building, June 8, the two princi- 

 pal attractions were supplied by mem- 

 bers of the trade. 



Clarke Bros, had a magnificent mound 

 of roses, lilies, calceolarias, geraniums, 

 sweet peas, orchids, ferns, etc., rising 

 over a rocky grotto, from which a stream 

 of water issued, rippled over a stony bed 

 and ended in a pool with lilies floating 

 on its surface. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. had a display 

 of rare South American foliage plants, 

 gloxinias, lilies, iris, etc., arranged in 

 the form of two pyramids, with tiny in- 

 candescent lights gleaming out here and 

 there, the whole surmounted by lilies and 

 bulbs of light. 



For these exhibits the first prize was 

 awarded to Clarke Bros, and the second 

 to the Tonseth Floral Co. The exhibi- 

 tion, as a whole, was pronounced ' ' Port- 

 land 's most perfect rose show."

Business, although not brisk, con- 

 tinues to be fair. From appearances 

 the schools have used more flowers at 

 graduation exercises this year than ever 

 before. The month of June has long 

 been celebrated for its many weddings 

 and this year, even in spite of the pw- 

 vailing hard times, has seen an avalanche 

 of weddings. 



The weather continues cool, which is 

 a great advantage in the handling of cut 

 flowers. Never have carnations or roses 

 been in better quality or more abun- 

 dant than at present. The prices are 

 low, however, on everything, except a 

 few lines of fancy stock. Almost any- 

 thing in the carnation line can be bought 

 at from $1.50 to $2 per hundred. Roses 

 bring about twice these prices for or- 

 dinary stock. Fancy Beauties are worth 

 $2 per dozen, and fancy Brides, Maids, 

 Liberty and Testout about one-half as 

 much. , . ., 



Valley has moved better during the 

 last two or three weeks than it has at 

 any time this season. Lilium longiflornm 

 is scarce again and Lilium auratum is 

 in much better demand than it is m 

 sapply. Bride gladioli have disappeared 

 and the colored varieties find ready sale 

 at from $2 to $4 per hundred. Sweet 

 peas continue to be the best sflUng ar- 

 ticle on the market and many thousands

of bunches are disposed of daily, both 

 in the stores and by the basket-men, al- 

 though they are getting slightly shorter- 

 stemmed than they were. Owing to the 

 favorable weather, they still are in prime 

 condition. 



Other classes of outside stock are not 

 in oversupply, nor have they been at any 

 time this season. The growers of stocks, 

 gaillardias, coreopsis and similar stock, 

 have had no trouble to dispose of their 

 wares, and the chances are that there 

 will be a greater amount of ground de- 

 voted to these plants next season.
