Seattle, Wash., W. S. Duncan, Albany, Ore., and L. G. Pfunder, Portland, were the judges. A committee of five ladies judged the table decorations and the bridal and corsage bouquets. The grand sweepstakes prize was won by the Martin & Forbes Co., Port- land. It must be held three succes- sive years to become the permanent property of the winner. Clarke Bros. were first for the best display of roses. The Martin & Forbes Co. led the win- ners with 22 firsts and 9 seconds, and Clarke Bros, were next with 14 firsts and 11 seconds. Tonseth Bros., Max Smith, Nichlas & Son and L. Lubliner were also awarded prizes in the grow- ers' and retailers' class. Rahn & Her- bert exhibited prize ferns and palms and the Routledge Seed & Floral Co., the Portland Seed Co. and J. B. Pil- kington had exhibits of much merit. The Mountain View Floral Co. and the Swiss Floral Co. had landscape gar- dening exhibits. A new carnation seedling of promise was shown by the Martin & Forbes Co. It was chris- tened the J. N. Teal. The flower is dark red in color. Before the show closed the flowers were auctioned to the highest bidders and the proceeds turned over to the fruit and flower missions. The show was a success financially as well as artistically and the expense was more than offset by the proceeds. A sur- plus which remained will be used to defray the expenses of a banquet to be given sometime in the future by the society. Early Flowering: Sweet Peas. The very interesting abstract from an article on these flowers by Prof. Alvin C. Beal in your issue of No- vember 9. should tempt the florists to give them more careful consideration. I feel sure if this were done they would not only , give more pleasure to their customers but find it a very profitable part of their busi- ness
