H. Reeve Darling has put up an ele- 

 gant window. It represents a flower 

 garden and walk leading to a house. A 

 neatly dressed maid is coming out of 

 the front door to meet a delivery boy 

 from the Hayward flower store, who is 

 carrying a box of flowers. This con- 

 tinues the idea of impressing on the 

 piublic the fact that "we deliver," 

 which has been a feature of Mr. Dar- 

 ling's advertising. 



The Roserie reports good business at 

 the new address, on Third street. 



Fritz Bahr, of Highland Park, 111., 

 was a visitor last week. He is a rela- 

 tive of Mrs. F. Borden, and Mr. Borden 

 has been showing him around. It is 

 «aid Mr. Bahr has invested in real 

 estate near Sacramento. 



J. W. Welters has been extremely 

 busy, especially with decorations for 

 parties and receptions. The receipts 

 are far ahead of those of last year and 

 for a better class of goods. 



Local seedsmen all report trade as 

 picking up since the rain. The cata- 

 logues are all out and, stimulating busi- 

 ness. H. R. Richards. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business has been holding up well, 

 yet there is no rush. We usually ex- 

 pect things to be quiet during January. 

 While there is no quantity or variety 

 of stock, there seems to be plenty to 

 take care of the demand. The bad 

 weather of several weeks has shortened 

 the crop of roses, yet the colors have 

 held out well. Carnations have been 

 about equal to the demand. The source 

 of supply is broadening all the time. 

 Shipping trade has been brisk. While 

 there is no wholesale house here, flo- 

 rists generally do a wholesale business 

 to a certain degree. Violets are quite 

 scarce. California violets are almost 

 out of the market; the cold weather 

 practically put them out of commission. 

 The street peddlers are suffering for 

 lack of stock. Lilies are entirely off 

 <jrop. Valley and orchids are equal to 

 daily demand. Green goods have been 

 flcarce; there is an increasing demand 

 all the time. Hyacinths, freesias and 

 •daffodils fill a much felt want, either 

 in pans or as cut flowers.

It seems to the writer that the winter 

 has been rather dark, but in looking 

 over the record, beginning with Octo- 

 ber, actual count shows four clear days, 

 twelve days slightly cloudy or dark and 

 fifteen days in which rain fell in that 

 month. Then November brought six- 

 teen days with rain, fourteen days of 

 either clouds or fog and one most appre- 

 ciated clear day. December brought 

 three clear days, ten days of clouds 

 and fog and eighteen days in which 

 rain came, making a total of forty-nine 

 days with rain, thirty-six days of clouds 

 and fog and seven clear days in three 

 pjonths of ninety-two days. Some peo- 

 ple would find fault with such weather, 

 but few of the residents here, even new- 

 comers, seem to object to it in the least. 

 Up to the present time the thermometer 

 has not registered lower than 16 de- 

 grees above zero and only a slight 

 coating of snow has been seen.
