Various Notes. 



J. J. O'Connor has moved to larger 

 quarters at 2901 Mission street, at the 

 corner of Twenty-fifth street. Mr. 

 O'Connor's increasing business made 

 this change of location necessary. He 

 has a large supply of fresh and beauti- 

 ful flowers for Easter. 



San Francisco is to have a new con- 

 servatory at the corner of Geary and 

 Larkin streets. It will be open for

The Market. 



With a steady increase in the supply 

 of spring flowers, more weddings and 

 small social affairs and an automobile 

 show, everything has worked to pro- 

 duce more business for the Seattle flo- 

 rists during the last week, with the re- 

 sult that general satisfaction is ex- 

 pressed over the present conditions. 

 Funeral work has held up in fairly good 

 style, but the passing of the influenza 

 epidemic has curtailed this to a notable 

 degree. 



Roses, violets, greens and some spring 

 offerings are still arriving from the 

 south regularly, but the local growers 

 are coming nearer to supplying the trade 

 needs and Spokane and Portland grow- 

 ers fill in a good share of the remainder 

 of the shipments. Local violets were 

 offered last week. Local greenhouses 

 were also offering flowering Japanese 

 plum branches for windows and large 

 table decorations. The local cut of or- 

 chids is increasing and the quality has 

 been about the best that local traders 

 can remember. Gardenias are more 

 plentiful and enough lily of the valley 

 is received to fill all needs. Columbia 

 still leads the local cut of roses as to 

 volume, with Ophelia a close second and 

 Ward and Premier about even. The 

 Ward stock has been of exceptional 

 color and proved enough contrast with 

 the pink varieties to sell especially well. 

 Laddie carnations from Spokane 

 growers continue to top the market as 

 to price, but the other stocks are show- 

 ing up better, in color, strength 

 of stem and keeping qualities. White 

 carnations were in big demand at the
