display purposes. Judging by his ob- 

 servations, Frank Pelicano expects to 

 see flowering plants in good supply and 

 of good quality for Easter, with the 

 exception of lilies. He has been sup- 

 plying a good demand for dahlia roots 

 this season, his Dr. Tevis heading the 

 list in popularity. 



Charles Shellgrain, of Shellgrain & 

 Eitter, says business has held up well 

 during Lent and he looks for a fine 

 Easter. 



B. M. Joseph has installed new glass 

 shelving at his store. This makes an 

 attractive display arrangement for 

 fancy glass baskets, bowls, etc. Plants 

 and cut flowers are being sent out in 

 specially decorated boxes of oriental de- 

 sign, that will make excellent contain- 

 ers for milady's Easter hat, after serv- 

 ing their original purpose. The idea is 

 meeting with liberal response. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee has improved the 

 appearance of her store on Hyde street 

 by a thorough renovation, including a

The Market. 



There was a perceptible drop in this 

 market last week, not entirely due to an 

 increased supply, but, to some extent, to 

 the decrease in demand. 



We have had beautiful weather with a 

 great deal of sunshine and large quan- 

 tities of flowers have bloomed — in fact, 

 at no time before has there been such 

 a variety to choose from as at the pres- 

 ent time. Some exceptionally pretty 

 window effects have been made, with the 

 Japanese cherry as the background. 



Some of the varieties noticed in par- 

 ticular lately are rhododendrons, tulips, 

 daffodils, sweet peas, roses, irises and 

 carnations, besides many others, too nu- 

 merous to mention. 



No complaints on business are heard. 

 The florists all have an optimistic look 

 and all report doing a good business, 

 with prospects excellent for good busi- 

 ness all summer. 



Vaiious Notes. 



Martin & Forbes Co. displayed in the 

 window a vase of Iris Susanne, which 

 attracted considerable attention and fa- 

 vorable comment, not so much on ac- 

 count of its beauty as because of its 

 oddity. 



S. G. Lubliner is fitting up a h'ew store 

 at 248 Morrison street, about one block 

 west of his present location, and from 

 all appearances it will be one of the 

 finest in town. 



Clarence Jones, of Walla Walla, 

 Wash., was in town a few days ago and 

 announced that he has severed his con- 

 nection with the bank in Walla Walla, 

 where he was employed for several years 

 before the war. He joined the army and 

 was abroad until the armistice was 

 signed. He has bought the retail store 

 of the Blossom Floral Co. and took pos- 

 session April 1. 



Several new places have sprung up 

 in the last few days, their purpose being 

 to get a slice of the spring business. 

 Their main trade is in bedding stock 

 and garden plants, and, of course, they 

 dabble a little in cut flowers and pot- 

 ted plants. Such places take a certain 

 amount of business from the regular 

 trade. They will stay in business two 

 or three months, or as long as the pick- 

 ing is good, and then vanish until the 

 following season. L. T. S.
