I .Ids its second meeting of the season 



t is week, when the matter of securing 



t f forestry building of the University 



Washington for the annual show of 



• society is to be taken up. This 



ar's event will be the most preten- 



I lUs show yet held and it is expected

Mothers' Day. 



i he market during the week had the 

 (!'!0 holiday earmarks. It started with 

 ri falling off in the supply and about 

 til.' middle of the week it seemed there 

 \r;is no supply to be expected. The 

 shortage appeared so pronounced that 

 till' wholesale houses began to turn down 

 (iiilprs for carnations and to limit or- 

 (|i IS for other stock. Friday, May 7, 

 carnations began to atrrive in large 

 qnnntities. Saturday's weather was 

 ideal and it was the same for Sunday; 

 so everybody bought heavily. Even 

 N'arcissus pbeticus sold at $3 per hun- 

 dred and jonquils at $6 per hundred. 

 Roses advanced materially, but carna- 

 tions held firm at $12 per hundred for 

 tho best. 



A feature of Mothers' day was that 

 <lomand was not centered on carnations. 

 It took in everything in cut flowers and 

 plants; in fact, there was a shortage of 

 plants. This will be a great encourage- 

 ment to plant growers. It will mark 

 the beginning of a plant demand which 

 can well be expected to equal that of 

 Raster. F. P. A.

The Market. 



Throughout last week and uj) to the 

 rush period for Mothers' day, business 

 was satisfactory. While the demand 

 lias been unusually good for this season, 

 •he supply has been limited. Carna- 

 tions have been scarce and the ad- 

 vanced prices went into effect May 6. 

 Roses ranged from $10 to $30 per hun- 

 dred. Lilies, sweet peas, etc., remained 

 about the same as they have been since 

 F.aster.

 Gentlemen — It may mterest you to know the results 

 from the few Freesias that we had from you August, 

 1919-30005-8 inch and 2000 3-4 inch-5000 in all. From 

 the 5000 bulbs we cut and sold practically 24,000 

 blooms. We think this is a wonderful result, and 

 whether our methods of culture were different or 

 not, we give great credit to the quality of the bulbs. 



Yours respectfully,
