trj'home of Mrs. J. P. Graves, on the 

 Little Spokane river, the occasion be- 

 ing a large tea and reception opening 

 her new home to Spokane society maids 

 and matrons. Some 300 guests were 

 conveyed to the home in automobiles. 



Max Oeser, of Paterson, N. J., has 

 arrived in the city and taken a posi- 

 tion with the Spokane Greenhouses. 



Hoyt Bros, had a pretty table dec- 

 oration at the Spokane Club, the occa- 

 sion being a breakfast given by Mrs. 

 F. O. Foss. A mound was made to 

 represent Mount Spokane and pink 

 roses and snapdragon were used prettily 

 in the decoration. 0. T. K.

Tlie Market. 



There has been a decided improve- 

 ment in business during the last ten 

 days and the retail stores present a 

 lively appearance. Many of the clerks 

 have had to be called back from their 

 vacations to help out with the rush of 

 work and it is the consensus of opinion 

 that September will be away above the 

 average, making up for the August 

 dullness. 



Chrysanthemums are arriving in quite 

 respectable numbers, good yeUows and 

 whites predominating. Gladioli are ar- 

 riving plentifully and I do not see so 

 many open spikes about the wholesale 

 houses; so it appears that they are sell- 

 ing better. Carnations are better, the 

 reds having lost the thrips marks that 

 have been disfiguring them for so long. 

 Indoor roses are coming in more plen- 

 tifully and the quality is fair for so 

 early in the season. The cool weather 

 is helping the outdoor varieties and 

 they are arriving in better order than 

 for a long time, though naturally a little 

 short in the stem. Cosmos has made its 

 appearance and is making a nice dis- 

 play in the windows. Valley is always 

 a critical crop. Some days there is 

 more than can be used, but on other 

 days there will be a shortage. For the 

 last week the latter condition has. pre- 

 vailed. Orchids are extremely scaree. 

 There is plenty of outdoor stock of all 

 kinds, centaureas being particularly 

 good. 



Varions Notes. 



A special meeting of the Los Angeles 

 County Horticultural Society was called 

 for September 14 to pass resolutions 

 and form a new committee to wait on 

 the park commissioners in the matter 

 of the new conservatory at Eastlake 

 park. A lot of vituperative statements 

 were made by various members and a 

 committee was formed to meet the com- 

 mission, consisting of Charles Winsel, 

 Dr. Houghton, P. D. Bamhart, E. Braun- 

 ton and A. Vermuellen. H. Turner, 

 W. Brosser and H. B. Bichards declined 

 service on the committee. The appeal 

 has been answered, according to the Los 

 Angeles Times, by statements from such 

 weU-known commissioners as Lippincott 

 and O. Melveny, as "These people are 

 seeking notoriety" and "There's noth- 

 ing to it." The notoriety is likely to 

 come to the park commission and it 

 surely will not be of an enviable char- 

 acter. The "conservatory" is a mas- 

 sive steel and brick structure, abso- 

 lutely unfit for plant culture of any 

 kind. So bad is the thing that a private 

 citizen who lives near the park , has 

 thi'eatened to stop the work by a court 

 injunction. This gentleman tells me 

 he will seek expert testimony and, if he

is well advised, he will eschew all local 

 historical rhetoric and get down to 

 brass tacks, getting testimony from 

 greenhouse builders who have a reputa- 

 tion behind them. Dr. Houghton, G. 

 Winsel and others have done a public 

 service by calling attention to the great 

 waste of public money, but if the city 

 is not going to be the laughing stock of 

 every plant loving visitor to this park, 

 then someone from a distance should 

 be called on, some firm of national 

 repute. There are none in the locality 

 capable of giving a correct estimate of 

 such work, and possibly our park au- 

 thorities would be brought to their 

 senses if testimony from such men was 

 introduced. 



The O. A. B. shields of the Bedondo 

 Floral Co. were a great success during 

 the encampment, many of the old 

 soldiers showing great interest.
