street, and is receiving congratulations 

 on the improved appearance of the 

 place. He reports business as being 

 good. 



The Hoyt Bros. Co. has had several 

 good wedding decorations recently. 

 They are looking forward to a good 

 spring business and are making plans to 

 handle a big plant business, especially 

 in perennials.

The Market. 



For several days last week a spell of 

 bright, warm weather suggestive of 

 spring brought people outdoors. Such 

 conditions hurt the sale of flowers and 

 the demand decreased. The volume of 

 stock coming in was beyond the capac- 

 ity of the market to absorb it; some 

 waste resulted, but without any slump 

 in prices up to the time of this writing. 

 Should the springlike weather continue 

 and the growers try to force on the 

 market all the cut stock they produce, 

 a crash in prices would be inevitable. 

 Just why the fine weather should re- 

 duce the calls for flowers is hard to 

 explain, but it has been proven many 

 times that there are not so many flowers 

 sold when people get outdoors for their 

 pleasures. 



A great variety of stock is shown. 

 Nearly everything of a bulbous nature 

 is coming in heavily. Tulips and hya- 

 cinths are in their prime. Carnations 

 in all colors are in oversupply for the 

 first time in many months. Valley, 

 grown from a new shipment of pips, is 

 offered. Easter lilies and callas are in 

 heavy cut. There is no oversupply of 

 roses, but the cut has increased. Trianse 

 cattleyas are plentiful. Sir Watkin 

 daffodils and Darwin tulips have ap- 

 peared. Some excellent sweet peas are 

 shown. Potted lilacs and genistas have 

 been added to the list of blooming 

 plants. 



Various Notes. 



The Portland Floral Society will hold 

 its regular meeting February 20 in the 

 Masonic Temple. 



Joseph Koida, Karl Bestel and the 

 violet grower at Hillsdale are cutting 

 heavy crops of single violets. 



Frank Luepke, of Vancouver, Wash., 

 is greatly elated over the prospects of 

 increases in his business after the inter- 

 state bridge is opened. The formal 

 opening of the bridge takes place in 

 June. He says Vancouver is bound to 

 boom. 



Thomas Luke, of Max Smith's store, 

 while putting up some decorations, fell 

 and injured his wrist and his kneecap. 

 His injuries did not prevent his showing 

 up at the store. 



The Martin & Forbes Co. recently sold 

 two of the largest kentias in this dis- 

 trict. The palms were grown by the 

 Eahn & Herbert Co. James Forbes said 

 from now on there would be a sufficient 

 supply of valley. 



Henry Kahn is cutting some good 

 sweet peas. 



B. Tonseth, of the Tonseth Floral Co., 

 selects his plants and saves his cyclamen 

 seed. A salmon-pink variety is his 

 favorite. He intends to grow more of 

 them another season. 



E. C. Cook has built some shelves for 

 his potted stock and has taken his plants 

 off the sidewalk. He says this simple 

 change has increased his sales of plants 

 fifty per cent.

A. F. Lalane said the good weather 

 had decreased his sales. People stop to 

 admire the flowers on display, but pass 

 on, thinking they can gather plenty of 

 wild flowers in a few days. 



John Holden, of the Holden Floral
