The Market. 



Business has shown some improve- 

 ment since last report and with the 

 opening of all public schools, and the 

 return to the city of many of the resi- 

 dents, business should show a decided 

 change for the better. 



The continuous rains of the last few 

 weeks have done great damage to the 

 outdoor stock and good flowers are 

 scarce. Carnations are of better qual- 

 ity, and we now see some of the Golden 

 Glow and Smith's Advance varieties 

 of mums in the downtown stores. 



Various Notes. 



A. A, Hinz shipped a fine batch of 

 piot ferns to Bosaia Bros., Seattle, Wash., 

 last week. Mr. Hinz is remodeling parts 

 Of his greenhouses, also giving the front 

 and office a new coat of paint. 



H. W. Manike reports good prospects 

 for another record crop of Governor 

 Herrick violets this season. 



J. B. Pilkington, of Portland, made 

 a short stop in this city on his way 

 home from Europe, where he has been 

 the last few months, looking over the 

 nursery situation. Not being able to 

 buy more than half he needed, he re- 

 ports business good. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held September 5. Much 

 business came before the meeting and 

 three new members, J. B. Pilkington, 

 A. A. Hinz and Mr. Jacobson, were 

 taken into the club. It was agreed that 

 all should attend the picnic with the 

 Seattle club September 15. Louis 

 Tschunko was appointed captain of the 

 ball team. It is expected the long de- 

 layed game between the two clubs will 

 be the real article. The next regular 

 meeting of the local club is October 3, 

 1912. : J. L. S. 



THE OREGON NUBSEBY^OO. 



The Forists' Society of Portland, 

 Ore., recently took its first outing and, 

 on the invitation of the Oregon Nurs- 

 ery Co., went to see the plant of this 

 firm in Orenco. Thirty-five members 

 of the society took part in this most 

 interesting trip and enjoyed the hos- 

 pitality of the nursery company. A 

 six-mile ride over part of the nursery 

 fields revealed to the visitors a source

of fruit trees for orchard planting that 

 few had known to exist in Oregon. One 

 field alone was said to contain over 

 four million trees, most of which had 

 already been sold. A crew of boys and 

 men, who could be seen budding in a 

 field of 500,000 peach trees, are said to 

 bud about 75,000 trees daily during the 

 budding season. 



No irrigation is resorted to in this 

 nursery, as a system of frequent culti- 

 vation is believed to produce a better 

 quality of stock. The visitors were 

 much impressed by the systematic meth- 

 ods in use throughout the plant, en- 

 abling the firm to turn out orders by 

 the thousand without mistake. This is 

 the feature that made the visit not only 

 instructive, but an education also for 

 most of the party. A force of 125 to
