PACIFIC COAST. 



Spokane, Wash. — Miss Gertrude Blair, 

 who has for some time been employed 

 as designer in the store of Hoyt Bros. 

 <Jo., has resigned and removed to 

 Georgetown, a suburb of Seattle. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



The weather continues delightfully 

 cool and a majority of our townspeople, 

 who have been rusticating in the coun- 

 try, are with us again. The schools 

 have resumed and this is an important 

 factor as well. Flowers of all kinds 

 are plentiful and the prices remain well 

 down. Lilium rubrum and L. album 

 are now in full crop and find a ready 

 sale. Amaryllis is coming into town in 

 large quantities, but the early sorts are 

 not in great demand. 



Asters are the ruling flower at pres- 

 ent and, although the prices are not as 

 high as formerly, they move quite well. 

 A few early mums from under glass 

 are shown and the outside stock of this 

 popular flower looks well and promises 

 a big crop later on. Sweet peas are 

 not of good quality and show the late- 

 ness of the season, while gladioli have 

 not sold as well for the last two weeks 

 as their quality should warrant, and 

 the same can be said of dahlias. Or- 

 chids are scarce and in good demand 

 and this is also true of fancy stock of 

 roses of practically all kinds. 



Business, with the exception of fu 

 neral work, moves slowly, but the trend 

 of the market is more favorable than it 

 has been »t any time this summer.
