NEW SWEET PEA 



MONROVIA 



For several years this has been the best seller 

 on Ijhe Los Angeles and otber local markets, 

 and 1 have decided to .offer it to the trade as 

 Ions as the stock lasts at 



•8.00 par ounc*. 



Monrovia besins to flower when only about one 



foot high ana continues to bloom profusely until 

 t reaches 8 feet high outdoors. It will make a 

 splendid greenhouse v>iriety. as the buds do not 

 drop under any conditions The color is a deep 

 purple outside, inside heliotrope, and it is un- 

 auestionably the fineat wiiiter*bloomlngr pirple 

 in existence. The seed has been carefully re- 

 selected from large pods only. It was gathered 

 in April and May in the foothill section, and 

 is consequently mature and of high germinating 

 power. It is an exceptionally stout grower and 

 throws long stemmed flowers all through the 

 season, four to six flowers to the stem. This 

 offer will be withdrawn as soon as present stock 

 is exhausted.

iu the lobby, corridors and parlors of 

 the new Davenport hotel, which opened 

 its doors to the public Tuesday, Septem- 

 ber 1. Special credit is due the Spo- 

 kane Greenhouse Co. because of the faci 

 that the order was not placed until the 

 Saturday night preceding the day of 

 the opening. 



Visitors at the greenhouses and 

 grounds of Olsson & Bernson are per- 

 mitted to see one of the finest collec- 

 tions of dahlias in the northwest. They 

 are planning an extensive display of 

 these flowers at the interstate fair, 

 with a view to booking orders for 

 spring delivery. 



The Spokane Spokesman-Review, in 

 the edition of Sunday, August 30, de- 

 voted one entire section to the descrip- 

 tion of the beauties and conveniences 

 of the new Davenport hotel, which was 

 opened September 1 and which has been 

 erected at a cost of two and a quarter 

 million dollars. The flower shop to be 

 opened in the hotel is given the fol- 

 lowing notieei "Thfr flower shop in 

 the Davenport hotel, entrance on 

 Sprague avenue, and opening onto the 

 main lobby, will be conducted by the 

 Spokane Florist Co., and by its arrauge- 

 ment will add to the beauty of that 

 public room. The general effect of the 

 show Toom will be an arbor with trellis 

 work, the many flowers harmonizing 

 beautifully with the French gray fix- 

 tures. The store will be conducted as a 

 branch of the RiVOTside avenue store 

 of the Spokane Florist Co. C. T. Kipp, 

 president, says one of the best decor- 

 ators will be placed in charge, and 

 while the choicest blooms of the season 

 will be always on hand, the new store 

 will pay particular attention to -cor- 

 sages of flowers for the various dancing 

 parties, teas and banquets, as well as 

 dinner parties. Some of the latest ac- 

 cessories for this line of trade have 

 been ordered, while a general business 

 will be done in cut flowers and plants. ' '

The Market. 



There is not much complaint over 

 business this week. Quite a little 

 funeral work and general sales have 

 helped to keep the stores busy. Stock, 

 of almost everything but roses, is fairly 

 abundant. Asters are now at their best 

 and, considering everything, there are 

 some fine blooms on sale, with large 

 numbers of the inferior grades. Carna- 

 tions are improving in quality, but the 

 jiiajority of the blooms are still coming 

 from held-over plants. In another 

 couple of weeks there will be some flow- 

 ers coming from young stock. Orchids 

 are scarce. Gladioli and lilies are here 

 in quantity. Ferns and palms are sell- 

 ing well and of these there are plenty 

 to more than supply local demands. 



Various Notes. 



J. H. Lewis has installed an oil burner 

 in his boiler at Brighton. It is one of 

 the Apex make and he figures it to be 

 more economical than the use of coal. 

 Probably if it is a success more growers 

 will adopt the same plan. 



A meeting of the retail florists was 

 held August 29 in the Hollywood Gar- 

 dens store. The business of the meeting 

 was primarily to consider what steps 

 could be taken to put a stop to the 

 practice of soliciting orders for funeral 

 flowers. After discussion it was re-
