Yakima, Wash. — ^Barton the Florist 

 recently had a good display, in which 

 he featured Columbia roses, 



P^adeua, CaL — Sadie A. Thomas, 

 whose specialty is chrysanthemums, has 

 one of the largest collections of vari- 

 eties to be found anywhere in the United 

 States. She does an extensive mail 

 order business. 



Sadro Woolley, Wash. — C. I. Breit- 

 haupt, proprietor of the Sedro-Wooley 

 Greenhouses, has purchased the Butler 

 greenhouse at Burlington. With this 

 addition he has 5,400 feet of glass, the 

 largest amount in that part of the state, 

 outside Bellingham. 



Hoqulam, 'Wash. — At the greenhouses 

 of the Grays Harbor Floral Co. the first 

 blooms on two calla plants were dou- 

 ble; that is, one bloom inside another. 

 The second blooms were single, as nor- 

 mally. A. W. Tweedie considered this 

 a peculiar freak. It is occasionally 

 seen on calla plants.

The ISdarket. 



The strike situation, at the end of 

 last week, looked a little better than 

 it had the previous week and shipments 

 went out a little more regularly. But 

 there was still room for improvement 

 and out-of-town customers were not or- 

 dering any more than they really need- 

 ed, because of the uncertainty of de- 

 livery. This was a blow to the whole- 

 salers, who had had plenty of trouble 

 already this season. 



Retailers report business good and 

 everyone is making a fine show. Carna- 

 tions, roses and all staples are in good 

 supply, in most cases in excess of the 

 demand, but prices rule fairly high. 

 Violets are over and the outdoor sweet 

 peas and Cecile Brunner rosea are in 

 demand for corsages. Cattleya Mos- 

 siae is in, making a fine show and being 

 in good demand. Valley is in fine sup- 

 ply, but is unavoidably high in price. 

 Greens are more plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



W. G. Martin, for some time gardener 

 in this section for the Southern Pa- 

 cific railroad, has sold his home here, 

 resigned his position and is moving to 

 Imperial, where he is going into farm- 

 ing. Mrs. Martin and their children 

 have already left for their new home. 

 His many friends will wish him the best 

 of luck and success. 



Henry Morton, son of C. E. Morton, 

 of Phoenix, Ariz., is in the city, having 

 driven up with some friends from Phoe- 

 nix. He intends to take a short vaca- 

 tion on the coast before returning. 



The Alexandria Florist reports a big 

 business in high-class box trade, orchids 

 and valley being handled extensively. 

 Many of the best known stars in the 

 moving picture world are regular cus- 

 tomers at this store. 



Another convert to the ancient and 

 honorable game of golf is reported. 

 Fearful of putting on too much flesh 

 owing to lack of exercise, our good 

 friend F, R. Hills has invested in nib- 



Orders From All Over 



"Coneeming the berry ad we have been runniiiff, we 

 expected to create some interest amonsr the k^aclfic 

 coast readers, bat from the replies and orders re- 

 ceived from throushout the United States it would 

 appear that your Jovimal is perused from cover to 

 cover."

licks, putters and other fearful and 

 wonderful tools and frequently may be 

 seen making his way to the links. Mr. 

 Hills wishes to have it understood that 

 it is not nigger golf which he is inter- 

 ested in. When he goes in for gam- 

 bling, it is in a different way.

PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business in general has been up to 

 normal since Easter, with a fairly good 

 supply of seasonable stock. Some kinds 



of stock are a little scarce, on account 

 of the weather conditions, which have 

 been disagreeable for the last two 

 weeks. Dark, cold and raisy weather 

 has been the rule and consequently 

 flower stocks have suffered. Everyone 

 is earnestly wishing for warm, bright 

 weather. Growers who depend largely 

 on outdoor stock will be late in getting 

 started. L. T. S. 



SAN FRANCISCO, OAL. 



The Market 



It was hoped that shipping embargoes 

 would be off by last week, but the cur- 

 tailment on outgoing orders was still 

 exerting an influence on the flower mar- 

 ket. As far as could be ascertained, no 

 consignments of flowers or other perish- 

 able goods were being accepted by the 

 railroads for destinations beyond Butte 

 and Denver. While some of the ship* 

 pers reported a good deal of business 

 within the radius of service, others had
