 of the valley and gardenias. The cut of 

 orchids is holding up to recent averages 

 and m some instances the wholesalers 

 have been able to care for small ship- 

 ping orders as well. The color of the 

 stock now being grown is said by local 

 men to be the best ever seen here. 



Some local growers report that the 

 carnations have been a little off color 

 during the last two weeks, but others 

 are offering the best blooms of the sea-

 stock so as to have a plentiful supply 

 of carnations for Mothers' day.

 to report for potted stock and basket 

 offerings, with this demand exceeding 

 that for cut flowers or corsages. How-

 by the increased number of tourists 

 who are visiting the northwest this year. 

 Potted hydrangeas and tulips are prob- 

 ably the biggest sellers and there is a 

 healthy demand to report on ferns of 

 all sizes and varieties. 



The last of the California violets have 

 been received here for this season. A 

 few late hyacinths have been offered and 

 cleaned up easily. The late varieties 

 of tulips are selling well and there is an 

 especially good sale of the more color- 

 ful varieties.
