monds and Killarneys and finding a 

 good market for them. 



The Spokane Qreenhouses are booking 

 a great many orders for the holiday 

 trade and have orders for all their 

 poinsettia pans and Begonia Gloire de 

 Lorraine. Their poinsettias for cutting 

 have stems from four to six feet and 

 will be the finest ever shown in this 

 city. 



Miss Burns, of the Burns Floral Co., 

 of Seattle, was a recent visitor.

TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business of late has shown a decided 

 improvement, and, since the frost of 

 last week has destroyed all outdoor 

 stock, there are prospects of good fall 

 trade. Carnations are arriving in 

 greater quantity and are of good qual- 

 ity, but the better grades are soon 

 cleaned up. Mums are selling well, 

 with a marked shortage of white and 

 light colors. There seem to be plenty 

 of the yellows and the poorer grades of 

 all colors. The crop is showing the 

 effect of the ravages of the tarnished 

 bug and some of the growers lost the 

 entire crop of early buds on certain 

 varieties. 



Various Notes. <: 



The florists' bowling teams met in 

 their first practice games on Wednes- 

 day evening, October 23. Some good 

 scores were rolled, each side winning 

 two games. 



The next regular club meeting will be 

 held in the Maccabees' hall, at Elev- 

 enth street and Pacific avenue, No- 

 vember 7. J. L. S. 



PORTLAND, OEE. 



The Market. 



Business conditions are gradually im- 

 proving. With the passing of the out- 

 side stock, the demand for choice fiow- 

 ers has become more brisk. The recent 

 heavy rains have helped materially. 

 Mums are plentiful and of unusual 

 quality. Tousets have produced excep- 

 tionally large heads. Ivory in its va- 

 rious colors proved a good seller. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are about equal to de- 

 mand and the prices range from $2.50 

 to $6 per dozen. Maids, Eichmobds, 

 Hillingdons and Killameys have pro- 

 duced a good crop of flowers, with a 

 daily clean-up. 



Carnations are improving in quality, 

 but there is hardly enough available 

 stock to supply the demand. Valley 

 and orchids are scarce, with a steady 

 demand. Ferns and palms move well; 

 there is never a surplus of choice ferns. 

 Lorraine begonias and cyclamens find 

 ready sales. 



Various Notes. 



C. Tonseth met with a serious acci- 

 dent last week. The auto in which he 

 was riding was struck by a street car, 

 and his collar bone and several ribs 

 were broken. It will be several weeks 

 before he will be able to attend to 

 business. E. E. C.

trouble with them. I have tried them 

 all ways, and none of them are satis- 

 factory. I have some fine stock and 

 would like to get a lot of young stock 

 on hand. I have cut the vine just be- 

 low the joint, and have cut halfway 

 between the joints, but they all wilt 

 when in the sand a day or two. I will 

 be thankful for the information that 

 will put me on Easy street.

Short-jointed cuttings of soft wood, 

 rubbed off with a heel, root readily if 

 given a little bottom heat, either now 

 or later in the season. You can also use 

 well ripened wood. Cut the same in 

 lengths, allowing two eyes to each, and 

 cut directly below the lower one. Firm 

 the sand well and water before insert- 

 ing the cuttings. Once they are in the 

 sand you must be sure that they are 

 shaded from sun, protected from air 

 currents and regularly watered. The 

 sand must never be allowed to even 

 approach dryness. Provided drainage 

 is good and the sand sufficiently porous, 

 the cuttings should need one watering a 

 day. With careful treatment you should 

 have little trouble in rooting a large 

 majority of your cuttings. C. W.
