fiery, glowing, rosy red, is a sure winner 

 and magnificent in every way. Carl 

 Brose, of the staff here, has bought him- 

 self a new home at Belvedere, on the 

 east side of the city. 



At the store of the E. C. Amling Co., 

 extra large shipments of carnations were 

 sent out to Texas, Utah and other points. 



Leon D. Stoute, formerly connected 

 with Howard & Smith, some time ago 

 opened several grocery stores and at all 

 of these he is now introducing flower 

 departments. This is to keep his cus- 

 tomers away from the large markets 

 where flowers are shown in connection 

 with groceries and other household ne- 

 cessities. 



Fine rose stock is being shown at the 

 store of the Alexandria Florist, on Fifth 

 street. 



Arthur Howard, manager of the cut 

 flower department at Howard & Smith 's, 

 at Ninth and Olive streets, says that 

 funeral work has been of unusually large 

 proportions of late. The removal of the 

 lath house and planting north of the 

 store is a great improvement. 



After a somewhat dull April, the pres- 

 ent month has opened up well at the 

 store of S. Murata & Co., on Los Angeles 

 street. Mr. Murata says that the Moth- 

 ers' day business was exceptionally 

 good. H. K. R.

The Market. 



A spell of extremely hot weather 

 during several days of last week caused 

 flowers, especially roses, to open pre- 

 maturely, with the result that the crop 

 at present is short. This fact, coming 

 in conjunction with Mothers' day ship- 

 ping orders, has caused the market to 

 take a sharp upward trend. Eoses are 

 double the price that they were a week 

 ago and carnations have gone up in the 

 same proportion. It is anticipated that 

 prices will drop again within the next 

 few days, as the weather is now cool. 

 White peonies arc, to some extent, fill- 

 ing the place of roses. Iris, while by 

 no moans cheap, is fairly plentiful. 

 Hawthorn is still in bloom and there is 

 now an abundance of strawflowers. 

 Lilies of the valley, gypsophila, orchids 

 and gardenias are all helping to fill the 

 demand, which is fairly brisk. 



Various Notes. 



The seamen's strike is tying up ship- 

 ping and is keeping florists out of their 

 usual brisk business in bon-voyage 

 baskets for passengers leaving for the
