The market. 



There was fully the usual business 

 prior to Easter during the week of 

 April 10 and there was not too much 

 stock of any of the cut flowers. Roses 

 were fairly plentiful, of good quality 

 and selling well. Carnations were of 

 better quality, there being fewer splits, 

 and the demand for them was good. 

 There was a fair quantity of valley and 

 it was moving well. Outside daffodils 

 sold cheaply, but the better varieties 

 commanded fair prices. Spireeas sold 

 as faat as they arrived. Azaleas were 

 almost all gone. The sale of gerani- 

 ums and other bedders has begun, as 

 usual, prematurely, but some people are 

 impatient to have their flower lots filled 

 as early as possible. There are more 

 of the polyantha roses in the market 

 than usual and small plants are selling 

 well, some of the newer varieties being 

 especially good sellers. 



Various Notes. 



H. M. Lindley, f(^rmerly of Los 

 Angeles, has bought out the stock of 

 the Seattle Nursery & Landscape Co. 

 and will move it to new premises at 

 5517 Fifth avenue, northwest, where 

 the< soil is better adapted to growing 

 nursery stock. 



A visit to the range of the Thomas 

 Floral Co. is well T\fprth while. There 

 has been an addition of glass and now 

 it is one of the most up-to-date places 

 in this neighterhood. As usual during 

 the pre-Easte" period, lilies' were of 

 considerable importance and the stock 

 at the Thomas place certainly appeared 

 to be excellent and on time for the 

 Easter business. There was a large 

 number of rambler and other roses in 

 pots, but they did not appear to have 

 been so well timed. There were fine 

 plants of Easter Greeting pelargoniums, 

 which added variety to the display 

 at the store. The benched roses were 

 looking fine; especially noteworthy 

 were the Hadleys and Ophelias. Geo. 

 Elger is grown in considerable quantity 

 for cutting, but it does not appear to 

 be so free as Cecile Brunner. There 

 are slathers of bedding plants, gera- 

 niums and calceolarias. Almost every- 

 thing in the way of commercial plants 

 and flowers is handled wholesale at this 

 place, and if variety is the spice of life 

 this surely is a spicy spot. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy's greenhouses at 

 South Park contain the usual stock of 

 plants. Especially notable were the 

 fine hydrangeas. Some of the French 

 varieties are grown. 



The Seattle Floral Co. had appar- 

 ently the largest supply of lilies in the 

 district. George Antenen was confi- 

 dent of having them all in time, but it 

 looked as if he, with many others of his 

 craft, had been saving coal in antici- 

 pation of plenty sunshine before Easter. 

 Somehow this has been lacking^' and 

 there will be lilies in the benchea after 

 Easter. The other stock at this estab- 

 lishment was in its usual thriving con- 

 dition and preparations were being made 

 for a large bedding plant sale. 



The Queen City Floral Co. has a fine 

 showing of bulbous stock, particularly 

 hyacinths, of which finer specimens 

 could not be had. There were lilies 

 here, and lots of them, and there will
