The Market. 



Business for the last fortnight has 

 been unusually dull, but this is the 

 natural sequence of conditions that are 

 expected at this particular season. The 

 weather has been quite hot and dry 

 and therefore the forces are busy keep- 

 ing field stock going. Filling of the 

 carnation benches is rapidly going on, 

 causing a scarcity of cut flowers, 



Auratums and rubrums are in normal 

 supply. Asters are showing better 

 quality. Sweet peas are a drug on the 

 market, Roses are of fair quality. Palms 

 and ferns are moving slowly; yet the 

 quality is up to the standard. 



Various Notes. 



The annual convention of the A. O, H. 

 was held here last week and the mem- 

 bers were lavishly entertained by the 

 Commercial Club. The color scheme of 

 the decorations was white and green, 

 with a central arrangement of an Irish 

 harp, done in appropriate colors. 



N. B. Healy, of the Eoutledge Seed 

 & Floral Co., is enjoying a vacation of 

 several weeks. 



Mr. and Mrs, A, J. Clarke are spend- 

 ing some time in California, combining 

 business with pleasure. 



Felix Verhoeven has returned from 

 an extended trip abroad and will here- 

 after devote his entire time to the real 

 estate business at Forest Grove. 



E. R, Chappell is spending two weeks ' 

 vacation in Canada, in search of a 

 much needed rest. 



Tom Lake, of Max M. Smith's, 

 spends all his leisure time yachting. 

 Recently he was capsized on the Colum- 

 bia river, with a party of friends, and 

 except for lft# quick«>and energetic ef- 

 forts the party would have been 

 drowned. 



John Willius, of Danville, 111., 

 stopped here a few days to call on the 

 local florists. E. E. C. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market, 



The weather has turned still cooler 

 and wearing an overcoat is almost com- 

 pulsory, both in the morning and even- 

 ing. This is not exactly what we ex- 

 pect at this time, but it is a welcome 

 relief to the public and it is favorable 

 both to the grower and to the retailer 

 in the handling of stock. There has 

 been quite a perceptible improvement 

 in the quality of flowers for some time, 

 and the cooler weather admits of better 

 color and stiffer stems. 



Business in a general way shows some 

 improvement, and the opening of the 

 schools and the returning of the town 

 folks from various outings is a great 

 help to the florist. The prices of stock,
