last season made records of germination with 

 many of our customers that were almost in- 

 credible. Our record is ll.OOO-plus to the oz.. 

 but that record was outdistanced many times 

 last year by our patrons. 



A STRAIGHT TIP.— Wherever you buy your 

 seed this year, get it in time to make a germin- 

 ation test before you sow the main crop.

reported that the stock being grown 

 for this event was in splendid condi- 

 tion and would receive official inspec- 

 tion in a few days. A brief discussion 

 of the methods of fixing prices for flow- 

 ers sold on the public market brought 

 out the fact that the market master 

 rules prices should be about midway be- 

 tween the wholesale and retail figures. 

 One new member was elected. 



H. E. Weed invited the members to 

 visit his nursery at Beaverton Sunday, 

 May 28, to view the peony blooms. It 

 was expected that thirty or forty mem- 

 bers would go. Growers of perennials 

 stated that there would be a shortage 

 of these blooms for Memorial day. Sev- 

 eral visitors attended the meeting and 

 enjoyed the luncheon after adjourn- 

 ment. 



Various Notes. 



Gene Eobinson is cutting some ex- 

 cellent sweet peas. 



C. W. Ward, of Eureka, Gal., spent 

 several days here last week. 



The Kelso Floral Co. has bought an 

 Overland delivery car. 



Edward Boyce, of the M xrtin & 

 Forbes force, said the cash register got 

 overheated registering small coins 

 Mothers' day and that the amount re- 

 ceived was not much more than needed 

 to pay for the repairs on the machine. 

 August Zitzewitz is cutting a heavy 

 crop of carnations. 



E. J. Steele said his local sales of 

 pansies had fallen off this year. Street 

 venders and the public market are cut- 

 ting into this trade. 



Thomas Bodley reports a good busi- 

 ness this season. 



H. E. Weed said the season for peo- 

 nies was more than three weeks later 

 than usual, and that many varieties 

 will be in their prime Memorial day.

SEATTI.E, WASH. 



Tlie Market. 



The florists are busy with bedding 

 stock, all the stores more than ever 

 before making a specialty of this side 

 line. Roses were plentiful and this 

 week there will be good supplies of out- 

 door Brunner roses, etc., arriving much 

 later than last season, when roses were 

 in full bloom long before this. Carna- 

 tions are not any too plentiful. It is 

 hoped that fair prices may be main- 

 tained for some time to come. There 

 are quantities of orchids in the stores. 

 Cornuta violets are taking the place of 

 other varieties. Their lack of odor is 

 not much noticed, considering that the 

 imported violets have the same defect. 

 Sweet peas are fairly plentiful. The 

 outdoor crop is in good condition and 

 soon will be ready for the market. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Muench, well known to the 

 trade here, passed away last week. He 

 was ill for some time, so his death 

 was not unexpected. He had been em- 

 ployed in nearly all the flower stores in 

 Seattle. His wife survives. 



The Hollywood Gardens are market- 

 ing tomatoes, of which they have an 

 excellent crop. 



Bosaia Bros, are receiving a fine cut 

 of Hadley and Ophelia roses from the 

 Thomas Floral Co., the cut averaging 

 about 1,250 per day. The quality of 

 the stock leaves nothing to be desired.
