The Market. 



With the passing of outdoor stock, 

 business has taken a decided change, 

 prices advancing all along the line. 

 Chrysanthemums are coming to the 

 market. The local stock is not yet on 

 in sufficient quantity to meet the de- 

 mand and supplies are drawn from 

 California, but many of the shipments 

 would be the better for more careful 

 handling. Carnations are in short sup- 

 ply, but are improving. Boses are none 

 too plentiful, as they are selling well. 

 Smilax is scarce, while other greens 

 seem to be about equal to the demand. 



There are few pot plants being 

 shown, most growers preferring to have 

 their stock in best shape later in the 

 season. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club's meeting October 

 1 was well attended and much impor- 

 tant business came up for consider- 

 ation. 



A. G. Seamons spent part of last 

 week in the Greys Harbor country. 



Henry Benthien, the well known local 

 grower, is busy these days, planning 

 a drainage district in the tide flats, he 

 being one of the committee of three 

 selected for this purpose. 



About twenty-five of the florists and 

 their wives gave a surprise party in 

 honor of F. H. Atchinson September 26. 

 The evening was spent at cards. Re- 

 freshments were served. J. L. S. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Conversations with representatives of 

 all the leading flower and seed stores 

 show that a spirit of optimism prevails. 

 Business for September is uniformly 

 reported as equal to or better than that 

 of September a year ago. 



The fall trade is just opening and 

 the demand for decorative plants and 

 potted flowering stock is good. In cut 

 flowers the supply of roses and carna- 

 tions about equals the demand. These 

 are from local growers. The stocks of 

 mums are partly local grown and part- 

 ly from the California markets. The 

 quality of the cut flowers now offered 

 is considered exceptionally good and 

 the growers are getting good prices. 



In askinsT you to discontinue our present 

 ad we wish to aay it has irlven us very 

 STOod results, and that you will hear from 

 us airain when carnation cuttlncs are in 

 season.— HOLLYWOOD QARDENS, Holly- 

 wood, Wash., Sept. 22, 1914. 



Frequent rains since the middle of Sep- 

 tember, following an unusually long 

 season of drought, have taken all the 

 outdoor grown flowers off the market 

 except dahlias and a few late gladioli. 

 The seed stores have just received 

 their supplies of foreign bulbs and are 

 now distributing them. 



Various Notes. 



A new flower store has been opened 

 at 430 Washington street by Clark & 

 Breeze. They display some fine Christ- 

 mas peppers, which sell at popular 

 prices. 



Robert D. Mauff, of Denver, visited 

 some of the Portland dealers this week. 



Max Smith is showing some excel- 

 lent cyclamens of his own growing. 



H. J. Millatt, who has been with 

 Clarke Bros., has taken a position with 

 A. J. Burt, of Spokane. 



S. G. Lubliner has a supply of bas- 

 kets which left Japan the day before 

 war was declared.

 last year by the E. G. Hill Co., has 

 attracted a great deal of attention in
