have brought out the outdoor stock and 

 cutting will soon commence. In fact, 

 daffodUs and much stock of a similar 

 character are now out of glass and are 

 being brought into the market in large 

 quantities. 



Of roses Bussell is about the only one 

 that is really holding its own in the 

 matter of price. The market has been 

 up and down on most of the other va* 

 rieties. 



Carnations, with the exception of the 

 specially selected stock, are down in 

 price, although the demand is strong 

 enough to clean up in fairly good shape 

 «ach day. 



Lilies of the valley, which first ap- 

 peared in the market at $1.50 per dozen 

 wholesale, are much more plentiful and 

 are selling for about half of the above- 

 mentioned price. The demand for them 

 is particularly strong just now, how- 

 ever, and retailers are able to sell all 

 they can get hold of. The quality is 

 excellent. 



There is a slight lessening of the local 

 orchid supply, but the call for these 

 blooms is not quite so heavy, on account 

 of the presence of camellias, gardenias 

 and lilies of the valley; so no difficulty 

 is reported by the retailer. 



Violets are still plentiful and fine. 

 Shipping establishments are still send- 

 ing out large quantities. 



Potted stock for Easter is appearing 

 in quantity. Bhododendrons, Dorothy 

 Perkins roses, etc., are ready for re- 

 moval from the greenhouses and local 

 wholesale depots state that orders are 

 already being taken on a good volume of 

 Easter stock, including lilies, both cut 

 and potted. 



Various Notes. 



At a recent meeting of the California 

 Dahlia Association, in the Palace hotel, 

 officers for the ensuing term were elect- 

 ed. J. W. Davis, of San Francisco, was 

 chosen president, succeeding T. A. 

 Burns, who has held the post of execu- 

 tive officer of the organization since 

 its founding, in 1917. The following 

 were elected for the remainis-j; ""^ces:

 creased in quantity and they are far 

 better than the shipped-in stock. After

 sweet peas are to be had. 



Club Banquet. 



The annual banquet of the Spokane 

 Florists' Club was held at the Daven- 

 port hotel, Monday, March 8, after 

 being postponed a month on account of 

 illness in so many of the florists' fami- 

 lies.

 among the nurserymen and florists and
