000 freesias a day to Mr. Axell, in ad- 

 dition to a number of freesias sent to 

 this wholesaler by other growers. Speak- 

 ing of roses, Mr. Axell said: "They 

 have nearly doubled in price since 

 Christmas, especially the short and me- 

 dium-stemmed stock. However, this 

 state of things occurs every year, in 

 Ja,nuary. Force nature as one may, a 

 period of rest is needed and it usually 

 occurs from the beginning of January to 

 the middle of February. Mr. Axell is 

 showing his first Spanish irises of the 

 season. 



C. Kooyman, of the C. Kooyman Co., 

 speaking of bulbous stock, in which 

 he is an acknowledged expert, said: 

 "On account of recent soft rains, the 

 bulb crop is coming along nicely. Quan-

The Market. 



The after-holiday rush finds the mar- 

 ket somewhat short of cut flowers. 

 Roses iiro sciirco iind large numbers are 

 being shipped in from the coast. Paper 

 Whites are coming in to help relieve the 

 shortage. Freesias are again on the 

 market and help out in design work. 

 Potted cyclamens are about the only 

 thing in flowering jjlants, with a limited 

 supply of hyacinths. 



Various Notes. 



Everyone reported a good local Christ- 

 mas trade. Shipping and telegraph de- 

 livery orders fell away Ijchind former 

 years, however. The demand, neverthe- 

 less, was as good as in former years, 

 most of the stores selling out. Carna- 

 tions were not so much in demand. 

 Plenty of mums were to be had and 

 proved much more satisfactory than 

 carnations, wliicli luid been held for 

 the Christmas trade. 



Cyclamens proved a big seller and 

 some fine stock was offered. Poinsettias, 

 peppers, clicrrics, primulas and bego- 

 nias made up the balance offered in 

 plants. 



Members of the trade extend their 

 congratulations to W. S. Hoyt, of Hoyt 

 Bros. Co., who was recentlv married to 

 Miss Tato, at Seattle. Wash. 



P. D. Cathy, of A. J. Burt's, recently 

 underwent an operation at the Sacred 

 Heart hospital. At the latest report, he 

 is doing nicely. 



The regular meeting of the Florists ' 

 Club was held January 3, with a good 

 attendance. It was voted to hold the 

 next meeting in the form of a banquet, 

 sometime in Februarv. It was also
