Si 



■yro}M. hell) the stems somewhat. Princess 

 «£ Wales is the only variety grown here, 

 it having superseded all the double sorts, 

 as well as the smaller-flowered single 

 kinds. 



Gladioli and dahlias have gone out of 

 -existence until next year. The former 

 flower proved to be one of the best sellers 

 among the outside stock this year. 

 Dahlias had quite a demand early in the 

 season, but toward the last they were 

 hard to dispose of. - A few scattered 

 ■sweet peas are being brought into town, 

 but they are of poor stem and flower and 

 •clearly show the results of the lony 

 nights. Other outdoor stock is practically 

 out of the game. 



Over in Oakland and Berkeley the re- 

 tailers say that business is about equal to 

 that of one year ago. Funeral orders 

 have not been so plentiful as they were. 

 "but there is a good line of society func- 

 tions constantly being celebrated, and the 

 ■store men get good results from them. 



Various Notes. 



W. H. Hutchings, formerly of Hutch - 

 dngs & James, Elmhurst, has come to tho 

 fore as a grower of choice ferns, and has 

 a splendid assortment at his new grounds 

 on Liese avenue, Fruitvale, Cal. 



C. C. Navlet, of San Jose, Cal., is in 

 town on a short visit. He reports pros 

 pects for the coming season to be excel- 

 lent. 



Charles Leyval, of Forbestown, Cal., is 

 paying a visit to some of the local 

 dealers. 



H. M. Sanborn has completed his new 

 retail store in Berkeley, Cal., and reports

Claude H. Schmidt, recently of Chi- 

 cago, 111., is in town with the intention

 hood of San Francisco. G. 



SEATTLE. 



Nearly every visitor to the Alaska- 

 Ynkon-Pacific Exposition noticed three 

 large beds of roses planted on the lawn 

 of the Oregon building. Each bed con- 

 tained about 100 plants, respectively, of 

 Prau Karl Druschki, Eichmond and Miss 

 Kate Moulton. It was quite late last 

 spring before the ground was ready for 

 planting, but the roses were well cared 

 for and succeeded beyond expectation. 

 The plants made splendid growth, and 

 were continuously in bloom from the 

 opening to the close of the exposition. 

 The contrast of color was admirable, and 

 the beds were a source of pride to many 

 Oregonians who visited the Oregon build- 

 ing. 



In recognition of their superior excel- 

 lence and fine blooming qualities, the 

 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition has 

 awarded the grand prize for roses to the 

 Sibson Kose Nurseries, of Portland, Ore.. 

 by whom the plants Avere furnished. By 

 special request of the board of regents 

 of the University of Washington, the 

 beds arc to be left intact on the grounds 

 of the Oregon building, as a ponnanent 

 decoration.

 Enough rain has fallen to make the grass 

 fresh and green, and the soil moist 

 enough for the planting of the fall crops. 



W. B. Sims, of Newberg, while visit- 

 ing here the other day, said that his 

 greenhouse crops were in fine condition 

 and that he was expecting a good crop 

 of aster seed. 



Mr. Frost, of Bellevue, is building a 

 greenhouse 25x80, so the lumbermen say. 

 This will be the first greenhouse in that 

 part of the country. H. T. F.

CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Last week showed that nuims are surely 

 having their season now, and other flow 

 ors, excent \i!>lels and carnati)ns, suffered 

 materially. There was no rush for roses 

 of any kind, although Beauties sold 

 fairly well. Carnations are more plenti- 

 ful than heretofore. Lilies of all kinds 

 were a drug, as were the cheaper grades 

 of mums. Violets, both single and dou- 

 ble, were cleaned up each day, the de- 

 mand for them being good. There were 

 not enough pompons to fill orders at any 

 time, and they seem to be taking a gonti 

 hold in this market. 



Mr. Bodic-k, of Alliance, and Mr. 

 Cogill, of Salem, were here last week, 

 visiting the large places in and about the 

 city. 



Knoble Bros, report having sold large 

 quantities of mums at their Saturday
