to supply only a small part of their 

 orders. 



All of the retailers featured flowers 

 other than carnations in their windows 

 and sales efPorts, since the growers 

 were holding back their stock for 

 Mothers' day and broufjht only such 

 flowers to market as they could not pos- 

 sibly hold back. 



The first fuchsias of the season came 

 in from California last week and the 

 list of fruit blossoms available was in- 

 creased by the arrival of pink Japanese 

 cherry blossoms. These fruit blossoms 

 have apparently struck a popular note 

 with window decorators and other large 

 buyers who can use large ba.skets, so 

 that good sales have been recorded. 

 Scattering deliveries of California iris 

 have been seen, but this did not carrj 

 particularly well and there was not the 

 call for it that might have been ex- 

 pected. Narcissi have been arriving 

 in fine shape and color and have been 

 a regular standby with the trade. The 

 deliveries of snapdragons have been 

 quite heavy also and only intensive sales 

 efforts kept the floors cleaned at all 

 times. 



Several local greenhouses have been 

 sending in larger cuts of sweet peas, 

 including some fine stock in the orchid 

 shades, and the deep reds have been 

 standing up better also. Gardenias are 

 in heavier supply; orchids are plentiful 

 enough and lily of the valley is just as 

 hard to get as ever. 



Various Notes. 



The Hollywood Gardens have been 

 featuring baskets lately, using a novel 

 shade of blue on the baskets and filling 

 tht'Hi with snapdragons and Ophelia 

 roses. An entire window of these was 

 shown last week and repeat orders on 

 this combination have been frequent. 

 Some fine snapdragons are being handled 

 from the firm's greenhouses, along with 

 some especially colorful sweet peas. 



William Goldsbary, of Kenney 's 

 Home of Flowers, was in Northbend 

 part of last week on business. He re- 

 jiorls a growing interest in seed culture 

 in southwestern Washington, with the 

 .ncrcage increased materially. 



Rnsaia Bros, showed two novelties 

 last week in the double De Moto hy- 

 drangeas and a peculiar, deep red-flower- 

 ing cactus. The hydrangea is abso- 

 lutely double throughout, each full- 

 grown flower four inches in diameter, 

 is of an orchid lavender shade and 

 shows an unusually strong stem. The 

 cactus has over 2.')0 blooms and at- 

 tracted a great deal of nttention when 

 sliown in the window. 



Henry Day, manngor of the Orpheum 

 Floral Co., reports .a nice sale of all 

 types of bedding stock lately and an 

 especial shortage of Puget Sound-grown 

 dahlias. He says double calceolarias 

 have sold especially well. 



The Woodlawn Flower Shop showed 

 an attractive May day window, the bas- 

 kets being formed of soft straw garden 

 hats, filled with .a varied assortment of 

 spring flowers. Narcissi, anenomes and 

 snapdragons proved a ]iopular combina- 

 tion. 



Fred H. Rowe, of McCoy's, was show- 

 ing some excellent narcissi last week. 

 The sten)s were firm and more than 

 fortv inches long and the cut averaged 

 four blooms to the stalk. These natur- 

 ally commanded a premium over the 

 open market prices paid on narcissi.
