The Market. 



Business for the first part of Sep- 

 tember was fair and used up the sup- 

 ply of good fiowers, many small so- 

 ciety events calling for some pretty ta- 

 ble decorations. The new crop of car- 

 nations is beginning to come in and, 

 while the stems are a little short yet, 

 the quality is good, and the same holds 

 true in regard to the roses. Golden 

 Glow chrysanthemums are nice and 

 about the only early yellow grown 

 around Spokane. 



Flower Show. 



The first annual flower show arranged 

 by the Spokane Horticultural Society, 

 September 12 to 14, was a great success. 

 The only trouble was the small hall; 

 it was crowded with flowers and ex- 

 hibits. Flowers by the wagon-load be- 

 gan coming in on the morning of the 

 day of entry, until the committee had 

 to refuse e:diibits. The city parks, as 

 well as Natatorium park, had fine ex- 

 hibits of dahlias, asters and other flow- 

 ers of the season. The finest dahlia 

 exhibit, which would do credit to any 

 show, was entered by A. L. White, who 

 has a beautiful summer home at Hay- 

 den Lake. Cash prizes were awarded 

 to the amateurs as well as professionals. 

 First prizes for the best wreath, table 

 decoration, mantel decoration, basket 

 of flowers and artistic vase of flowers 

 were awarded to the Spokane Florist 

 Co., while first prize on wedding bou- 

 quet was awarded to H. E. Beimers. 

 Hoyt Bros, were awarded second prizes 

 on table decoration, mantel decoration 

 and basket of flowers, while H. E. Bei- 

 mers was awarded second prize on 

 wreath. Second prize for bride's bou- 

 quet went to the Spokane Florist Co. 

 Many new members were added to the 

 society and the show next year will 

 be on a much larger scale. 



Various Notes. 



A. J. Burt has moved into his new 

 location on Biverside and has fitted up 

 a handsome store with all new and 

 latest fixtures, including a handsome 

 ice-box. All the woodwork is in white. 

 His two large show windows will en- 

 able him to disi^ay his stock to the 

 best advantage. He is planning a for-
