tions brought 75 cents to $1 per dozen; 

 lilies 25 cents per bud, with most of 

 the small buds counted. Boses and 

 other cut stock brought better prices 

 than they did a year ago. The general 

 result is encouraging, as it is an indi- 

 cation that financial conditions have im- 

 proved. Several stores opened branches 

 to facilitate deliveries and many report 

 that the rush was handled with less 

 trouble than usual. 



Seedsmen who handle plants made a 

 clean-up and are greatly pleased with 

 their success. Shippers were obliged to 

 refuse entirely or only partially fill many 

 orders from outside points. 



Considerable activity in social circles 

 continued throughout all of last week 

 and, with a fair demand for funeral 

 work, the stocks of cut flowers were 

 well cleaned up every day. 



Dealers in hardy perennials report 

 that their sales so far this season have 

 broken all records. Warmer weather, 

 indicating that the season for frosts is 

 over, has started a brisk movement in 

 bedding stock and some of the florists 

 are delivering filled window boxes and 

 porch decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Oscar Johnson, who has a range of 

 glass at Beaverton, has opened a flower 

 store at 768 Gleason street, a location 

 previously occupied by Hoffman Bros. 

 He combines landscaping with his 

 florists' business. 



E. L. Shelton has taken a position as 

 foreman of the greenhouse range at 

 Twenty.third and Gleason streets, oper- 

 ated by the Swiss Floral Co. 



C. C. Ruenitz closed his store at noon 

 Easter Sunday, as he had nothing left 

 to sell. 



\J. Nyberg, an onion grower of Tuali- 

 in, said that his land had beel flooded 

 twice this winter. The last time was in 

 March and the soil is not as yet in a 

 suitable condition for planting. He 

 stated that several growers in his dis- 

 trict will not try to grow onions this 

 year, as the result will depend on mid- 

 summer weather, which is decidedly un- 

 certain, and the demand from California. 



Martin & Forbes have leased space 

 for a new store in the Morgan building, 

 across the street and a few doors west 

 of their present location. Entrances and 

 show windows are being provided by 

 the owners on Washington and Park 

 streets, which will permit an elaborate 

 display of flowers. The company will 

 fit up the interior and plans to make 

 it up-to-date in every respect. The 

 store will be opened June 1. 



Max Smith last week displayed some 

 forced salpiglossis. The stems were long 

 and the blooms attractive. 



Gustave J. Burkhardt expects a brisk 

 spring business.

Fischer's Splendens 



The Magnificent Lavender Freesia 



^E only commercial colored Freesia in the world. A truly wonderful 

 novelty that took many years to produce. The above cut will give 

 some idea of its beauty. It represents a bunch of only twelve sprays 

 photographed side by side with my new GIANT WHITE. One glance will 

 satisfy anyone of its wonderful commercial merit, and no words are necessary 

 to describe it except to say that the bunches figured measure nearly three feet 

 tall, not including the vase. It is much larger and stronger in every way than 

 Purity, one of its parents ; has the same fine habit of growth and is very fra- 

 grant. 



I oflfer it in two shades of color, a bluish lavender and 

 a reddish lavender. Only good-sized, flowering bulbs sold
