kane Florist Co., called here last week 

 on their return journey to Spokane, after 

 an extensive trip to the coast. Mr. Eapp 

 is remodeling his entire store, and no 

 doubt will have the finest store in Spo- 

 kane next fall. ,^ 



Gus Bjorkmin reports fine success 

 with his mums, and looks forward to a 

 splendid cutting. 



Mr. Landfield, connected with Sam 

 Graff Co., anxiously awaited his wife's 

 coming last week. Mrs. Landfield has 

 been in Chicago for some time. 



The Seattle Carnation Co. has added 

 several thousand Bassett carnations to 

 their stock, and say they are doing fine. 

 Mgr. Hopkins certainly deserves success. 



Sam Graff, of Graff's Flower Shop, 

 made a flying trip to Spokane. He re- 

 ports Spokane as being busy as ever. Mr. 

 Pritchard, of the same firm, is contem- 

 plating a pleasure trip to Portland.

There has been a slight improvement 

 in business even during the last week, 

 and the chances seem to be favorable for 

 a fair fall trade. Carnation growers are 

 now in the midst of changing their 

 houses, and although this makes a short- 

 age of this popular flower, there is such 

 an avalanche of asters at this time that 

 it is not noticed. Asters, by the way, 

 are the most popular flower at present. 

 The prices have not been high, but they 

 are well used up and the growers are 

 satisfied. 



Outside gladioli are again popular. 

 Some late flowered varieties are whole- 

 saling at from $5 to $6 per hundred 

 and move freely. Dahlias, which gave 

 promise early in the season of being one 

 of the favored fall flowers, have not 

 sold as well as was expected. Barring 

 the small, white sort 3 that are used in 

 funeral work, there is but little demand 

 for them, although the displays have 

 been better than ever this season. 



Roses, while not plentiful, are in al- 

 most sufficient supply to fill all require- 

 ments, with the possible exception of 

 long-stemmed Beauties. 



All the Japanese lilies have proven 

 to be good sellers this season. They 

 find great favor both in funeral orders 

 and for other purposes. There has been 

 a good demand for L. auratum, but only 

 a few growers have had them in sufficient 

 quantity to make any showing. 



Other kinds of hardy stock, with the 

 exception of sweet peas, move well, and 

 the trouble with the peas is that they 

 are becoming so short-stemmed as to be 

 unfit for almost anything except funeral 

 work. Amaryllis are in evidence by the

The Irrigation Congress. 



Little drops of water 

 On little grains of sand, 



With a little sunshine.

What they grow in the great state of 

 Washington was shown to the great Na- 

 tional Irrigation Congress, which closed 

 its sessions Saturday, August 14. Spo- 

 kane gave the delegates to the congress 

 a warm reception, as she is wont to do 

 with her many visitors, and, according 

 to all reliable reports, the delegates, with 

 ex-Governor Pardee's help, kept it warm 

 at the Armory, where the deliberations 

 were held. 



Socially speaking, the time was fully 

 occupied. Monday evening a reception 

 was given to the distinguished guests at 

 the Masonic Temple, for which all the 

 florists furnished palms and flowers. 

 Numerous private entertainments kept 

 the Spokane people busy at home, while 

 a series of small banquets kept the Hall 

 of the Doges, at Davenport's, in a gala 

 state all the week. Summer flowers
