spell, but are having a hard time to 

 combat the weather conditions. A few 

 late blooming dahlias and gladioli are 

 showing well, but the long nights will 

 soon make them scarce. 



Trade conditions, which were quiet 

 during the early part of the month, 

 show some signs of awakening and from 

 present indications there will be a good 

 resumption before long. 



Various Notes. 



M. E. Gregory, a well known nursery- 

 man of Napa, Cal., is in town for a few 

 days. 



We learn with regret of the serious 

 illness of Frederick Ludemann. Mr. 

 Ludemann has been an invalid for sev- 

 eral years, but within the last few days 

 his condition has been critical. He is 

 one of the few surviving pioneer nur- 

 serymen and for over forty years con- 

 ducted the Pacific Nurseries. 



Fred Johnson, formerly of Los Ange- 

 les, is in town. 



The Hallawell Seed Co., on Market 

 street, has issued an attractive fall bulb 

 catalogue. 



N. Rolleri, formerly in the retail trade 

 in Oakland, has returned from a sev- 

 eral months' sight-seeing trip spent in 

 various parts of the state. G. 



SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



Business is showing a slight improve- 

 ment over recent conditions and it looks 

 as if from now on the florists are in 

 for better times. 



The recent good weather has im- 

 proved the quality of outside flowers. 

 Some reafly good asters are now on 

 sale, and other outside stock is fairly 

 plentiful. Good roses from outdoors 

 are none too plentiful and are bringing 

 good prices. Gladioli and liliums are 

 still coming in quantity and the sale 

 for them is good. Chrysanthemums are 

 on sale in most of the stores and are 

 fairly good for the season. Carnations 

 are more plentiful, but the demand still 

 exceeds the supply. Orchids are abun- 

 dant and commanding good prices. Au- 

 tumn leaves are being largely used for 

 decorations, and green is scarce. 



Florists' Picnic. 



The first picnic of the Seattle florists 

 was held at Wildwood park last week 

 and was a brilliant success. Every-; 

 body of any consequence in the trade 

 here was present and all appeared to

have a good time. There was a large 

 contingent of the Tacoma florists over, 

 with their ladies, and one of the events 

 of the day was a baseball game be- 

 tween Tacoma and Seattle. A closely 

 contested game resulted in victory for 

 the home team. 



Wildwood is an ideal place for an 

 event of this kind. The journey to it 

 over Lake Washington is a picnic in 

 itself. About 200 availed themselves 

 of the opportunity. The stores were 

 closed and everyone was out for a good 

 time. The Whangdoodle quartette pro- 

 vided good music and in the evening 

 dancing was indulged in on the fine 

 floor of the pavilion. The athletic 

 events created some excitement, espe- 

 'Cially the florists* Marathon, a course 

 of ten rounds of the bases, which tested 

 the endurance of most of the contest-
