are in sight. Tiieir bedding plant busi- 

 ness is also the largest they have ever 

 had. 



The florists of the city are looking 

 forward to meeting their brother nurs- 

 erymen next month. The convention of 

 the Pacific Coast Association of Nurs- 

 erymen is going to be held in this city 

 the latter part of June. 



The requirements of the spring and 

 June brides, also the demand for com- 

 mencement bouquets and corsages, are 

 beginning to stimulate the demand for 

 roses. 



Prices on bedding plants are not 

 being cut so heavily by the markets this 

 year as in former years. Most of the 

 small growers around town find that 

 they cannot buy coal at $8 or $9 per 

 ton and almost give their stock to the 

 markets at the same time. H. H.

The Market. 



Local trade conditions last week were 

 about normal, with unfavorable weather 

 conditions cutting into the receipts 

 from local growers and enabling prices 

 to be held steady on all lines. The only 

 really notable exception to this is lily 

 of the valley, which is now rather com- 

 mon and on which growers' prices have 

 been reduced materially. 



During the week preceding Memorial 

 day, the retailers were naturally wor- 

 ried as to whether they would have 

 enough stock to carry them through and 

 nearly every firm had booked some 

 stock from California to be sure of 

 meeting the demands Large numbers 

 of advance orders were booked for Me- 

 morial day. 



Recent unfavorable weather has par- 

 ticularly slowed up the marketing of 

 peonies, gladioli and outdoor calceo- 

 larias and all of these items figure 

 prominently in the orders which have 

 been placed with the California 

 growers. 



The business in bedding stock has 

 been slower, as the first rush is past and 

 current prices are too high to bring 

 many repeat orders. As a result there 

 is more of a tendency to use the blooms 

 from bedding stock as cut flowers and 

 in baskets. Several of the stores fea- 

 tured out calceolarias in their window 

 displays last week, to good effect.

Partly as a result of the failure of 

 outdoor flowers to mature as rapidly as 

 was expected, potted plants last week 

 met with a fine sale. Potted primroses 

 have been in heavier supply and, with 

 potted calceolarias, led in the sales. 

 A few potted hydrangeas are to be seen 

 in one or two stores, but these are small 

 and will command less interest than 

 they did a few weeks back. Chinese 

 asters were a novelty offered by one 

 or two of the local growers and are 

 likely to increase in supply. Potted 

 geraniums were shown everywhere, but 

 met with only a casual sale, while the 

 finest examples of potted fuchsias to be 

 shown this year were among the ar- 

 rivals. 



Koses have held up in fair shape as 

 to cut and greenhouse shipments have 

 been of high quality. Some California 

 shipments are coming in, notably White 

 Kiilarney and Cecile Brunncr, but 

 Brunner was mostly off color and proved
