'!'.inugh for this season and that a ma- 

 terial increase in plantings for the 1922 

 ■ri.'uket is certain. This grower has been 

 howing a number of unusual varieties 

 ^ tulips thi.s year, and is receiving 

 * ivorable comment on the dark red 

 '•■ii-uins being cut at this time. 



The City Flower Shop has been show- 

 '*S gyi)sophila and Irish Elegance roses 

 ■■om California with splendid results 

 "d continues to offer the largest 

 tock of baby roses. A generally satis- 

 actory current business is reported and 

 "IS shop reports that the addition of 

 yephone book advertising is the means 

 >i developing some business. 



While late in starting this year, due 

 to backward weather conditions, Hans 

 M. Hansen reports a fine trade in bed- 

 ding stock and decorative shrubs. The 

 large number of new residences in the 

 section about his greenhouse and shop 

 makes for greater business of this sort. 



Rosaia Bros, have been featuring, with 

 good effect, miniature Japanese gardens 

 in shallow bowls and this showing drew 

 general comment. A more plentiful sup- 

 ])ly of roses is noted at the greenhouses 

 and next month should see heavy cut- 

 ting of Ulrich Brunners. Tulips of the 

 Darwin variety are at almost the height 

 of their cut at present and there were 



thousands of these flowers available for 

 Mothers' day. The cut of lilac is in- 

 creasing and there is more demand for 

 this item to be used in smaller decora- 

 tions. 



The Pinehuist Floral Shop continues 

 to feature the late tulips in its window 

 dis5>Iays and has found the buying public 

 receptive. This shop issued a handsome 

 booklet for inclusion in local Mothers' 

 day deliveries, containing "Mother, a 

 Prayer. ' ' 



The Burdett Co. effectively handled 

 the Yacht Club decorations for a 

 F'ioneers' Society meeting, using only 

 native stock. Greens, dogwood and red
