cedit to a professional. Twenty-five en- 

 tries were made. Tirst award for design 

 wont to a rainbow whose many tints and 

 sl.ades were well blended. Absence of 

 foliage was the most noticeable fault of 

 tliis design. A merry widow hat of peas, 

 Avith a plume of gypsophila, came in for 

 a share of favorable comment. A ladder 

 (losign took second prize. Purely artistic 

 arrangement was best shown in a wooden 

 slioe, filled with peas and set on a mirror. 

 Another similar arrangement was a large 

 brilliant shell filled with flowers of har- 

 monious colors. An American flag was 

 also worked out, as is usual in shows. 

 Good workmanship, but lack of original- 

 ity, was the verdict on the latter piece. 

 Honorable mention was made of a basket 

 of King Alfred peas with ribbon to 

 match, the work of a ten-year-old girl. 

 Quality of the stock exhibited was judged 

 as especially fine. 



Everything is in shape for the National 

 Irrigation Congress. Delegates are al- 

 ready arriving. The Hotel Spokane has 

 been decorating with some artistic bas- 

 kets both in cork and wire, the work of

The Market 



There was a slight improvement in busi- 

 ness last week and, with the schools re- 

 suming their sessions, appearances are 

 more promising. There has been a slight 

 'Stiffening in prices on carnations and 

 'OSes, although everything is still at low 

 uater mark. The growers have already 

 ''ommenced the change of stock in the 

 iiouses and this assists in making a slight 

 ■-hortage in the supply. The weather is 

 ilie most favorable one could wish for 

 Mork of this kind and before long we 

 ^liall have quantities of new stock on the 

 market. 



Asters are the rage at present. They 

 have taken the entire attention of the 

 llower loving public and, although prices 

 ^re low, they are used in such great quan- 

 tities that up to this time there has been 

 no glut noticeable. Sweet peas are of

such short stem they are now practically 

 worthless for anything except funeral 

 work. Advices from the chrysanthemum 

 growers give assurance the crop will be 

 larger and better than ever this season, 

 judging from present indications. Gladi- 

 oli of the newer sorts move well. They 

 cost the retailers from $3 to $5 per hun- 

 dred spikes and have entirely taken the 

 place of the old-fashioned sorts. Dahlias 

 gave promise early in the season that they 

 would be one of the popular summer flow- 

 ers, but with the exception of some of the 

 white sorts, for funeral work, they have 

 not been in as good demand as they 

 should be. 



Funeral work has been very well di- 

 vided up during the last week. It has 

 probably been the best in that line of any
