Mr. Cut Flower Grower! Plant Fraser's Strain, they ire first in size and otherwise. 



CALENDVLA Kine of Kinss 

 (Frascr's Production) 



We believe this strain of Calendula has a great fu- 

 ture before It. A Golden progeny of the famous Double 

 Orange King. Color: Dazzling orange. The flowers 

 are larger and the blue-black disk smaller, with 

 broad overlaid petals. Habit: 2 feet, with fine erect 

 lieads and stIfT stems, and for these reasons will be In 

 sreat (iemand lor the flower market. Trade pkt., $1.00; 

 Ounce, $2.50. 



NEW MTOSOTIS President Hardins: Blue : 

 (Fraser'8 Introduction) Winter-flowering. 



This new Winter-flowering Mjosotls (Forget-me-not) 

 is the result of a carefully thought-out cross, said by 

 some experts to surpass any other strain yet olTered. 

 Color: Harding Blue. Habit: Bold and branching, 

 forming open bushes from 18 to 20 Inches high and of 

 equal diameter, extra viRonius sprays of bloom last 

 IniiK as cut flowers. Trade pkt., $1.00: 3 Trade pkts., 

 $2.00. 



COSMOS Extra Early Single Dahlia- 

 Flowered (Eraser's Selection) 



A very fine strain, the result of many years' careful 

 selection. Its points for earliness, size, color and 

 productiveness are good all round. Height: 4 feet, 

 with flowers of splendid substance, resembling giant 

 single Dahlia flowers and stiff stems, unusuaj in the 

 older varieties. The most proP.table cutting cosmos In 

 oultlvatlon. We are olTcriiig 2 separate colors: Dahlia 

 White. Dahlia Pink, Dahlia Mixed. Trade pkt., $1.00; 

 3 Trade pkts., $2.00.

the public has been placing its Me- 

 morial day orders early this year. Ap- 

 parently the trade will be extremely 

 heavy. M. M. 



A company to be known as the Grow- 

 ers' Floral Co. has been chartered to 

 carry on a general business. The capi- 

 tal stock is $10,000. One hundred 

 shares will be sold at $100 each. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



C^iiieter business was the rule in iicaily 

 t'very trade division last week, but, at 

 the same time, there is no real com- 

 plaint among the florists over the situa- 

 tion. Funeral work kept up nearer 

 to normal than any other division, ami 

 stock deliveries have been enoufili 

 lighter so that dealers were not forced 

 to accept any large earrj'-overs of 

 stock. 



Outside siii[)meuts are still limited al- 

 most entirely to California iris, tlif 

 usual ferns, a few carnations and sonio 

 roses on special orders. Oregon growers 

 have practically stopped sending in 

 carnations. There are still some fine 

 potted tulips and good 'examples of the 

 late cut varieties to be seen, but it will 

 he hardly more than a matter of days 

 before this itoiii will l)e out. Lilac is 

 another flower which is still plentiful, 

 hut which does not promise to be of- 

 fered for any length of time. 



Among the short-stemmed, inter sea- 

 son flowers wliich are popular with 

 buyers arc narcissi, calendulas and mar- 

 guerites. The longer-stemmed stock ]>rt' 

 scnts hardlj- any novelties, gladioli still 

 being scarce. The cut of snajtdragon is 

 ;ill that could be asked nt this time. 



A more plentiful delivery of valley 

 is noted, and sweet peas show a steady 

 imiirovoment. Tliere has been a falling 

 off in the cut of orchids, but a similar 

 condition was noted in the demand, so 

 that this created no shortage. Carna- 

 tions are plentiful in white .and 

 )iink, but the trade cmild handle some 

 "ood red stock without difficulty.

Columbia is probably the best rose 

 coming to hand at this time, with Rus- 

 sell more plentiful, and real deliveries 

 of Ulrich Brunners due to start within 

 two weeks. Ophelia is up to standard, 

 while Butterfly is plentiful. Baby roses 

 have been out of the market for several 

 days. Local violas and cut pansies have 

 been used freely in corsage work to 

 good effect. 



Bedding stock has been a fast mov- 

 ing item and promises to continue so. 

 Practically everything which can be in- 

 cluded under this classification is selling 

 well, with a real shortage to report on 

 Martha Washington geraniums.
