do not attempt to save all the branches 

 if the roots have necessarily been sacri- 

 ficed to any extent. If the soil is rather 

 sandy or filled with rocks, great care will 

 have to be used in shaping and digging 

 the ball of earth, to save it intact. If 

 the ground should luckily be of a stiff, 

 adobe nature, there -nill be but little 

 trouble in keeping the soil in a hard 

 luirip. Ordinary burlap and rope will 

 cpmplete the operation, care being neces- 

 sary to tie sufficiently snug so that there 

 will be no danger of cracking in handling. 

 -After the palms are transplanted, give 

 them plenty of water and shade them if 

 possible, if it is the intention to replant 

 th6m in tubs or boxes, they should be put 

 in a lath house and kept from draughts 

 for several weeks. 



• •There is but little trouble in trans- 

 planting hardy palms at this season of 

 the year, if the foregoing suggestions 

 are kept in mind. They are at the height 

 - of their growing season and that is the 

 proper time to handle them. Later, 

 when they are partially dormant from 

 the cold weather and are not in condition 

 to embrace any opportunity to continue 

 thriving, there is always a chance that 

 they will succumb before the warmer 

 spring weather will start them on another 

 season's growth. G.

The Market. 



Business conditions are at a low ebb. 

 Every effort possible is necessary to ef- 

 fect a sale. The better class of flower 

 buyers are either out of town or are 

 utilizing garden products for all occa- 

 sions, and home talent is even to be seen 

 in funeral work. Nevertheless the florist 

 gets in a good day occasionally. The 

 tourist traffic through our gateway has 

 a tendency to enliven business at times. 



Eoses are of normal supply and fair 

 quality. Carnations have become a 

 scarcity and most of them have been 

 displaced for new stock. Golden Glow is 

 a welcome visitor and finds many friends 

 among flower buyers. There is a scarcity 

 of flowering plants. Gloxinias are to be 

 seen in the show windows and are of ex- 

 cellent coloring. 



Various Notes. 



Sam Roake, the veteran green goods 

 and moss man, and Chas. F. Street, of 

 Clackamas, are out on a trout fishing ex- 

 pedition. We must prepare for the 

 worst crop of fish stories ever.

 awarded an extensive order for bedding 

 stock, for the grounds of the Oregon 

 State Fair, to be held in Salem, Ore., in 

 September. 



Geo. A. Lehmann. of San Jose, Cal., 

 recently spent several days in the city. 

 He reports business normal and the past 

 season satisfactory. 



J. D. Fletcher, of Hood Eiver, was a 

 recent visitor, looking over the market. 

 He finds the raising of poultry a profit- 

 able side line, 



Louis Goodfriend, representing Wert- 

 heimer Bros., dropped in on us, with his 

 usual smile, showing an extensive line of 

 chiffons and ribbons. 



Arthur Zirkman, representing M. Rice 

 & Co., was also a caller. He reports 

 business satisfactory throughout his ter- 

 ritory. 



The Tonseth I'Joral Co. has completed 

 its new range, near Milwaukee, Ore.
