ing the sights, all were invited to din- 

 ner and a royal one it was. Arriving at 

 Seattle, the visitors were met by the 

 committee and cordially welcomed. The 

 Tacoma team was made up of L. F. 

 Tchunko, captain; Henderson, Burrows, 

 Benthien, Hedman and Tomalin. After 

 the game the hosts escorted all to the 

 Bungalow restaurant and a real ban- 

 quet was enjoyed. Accompanying the 

 team were A. A. Hintz, Fred Smith, 

 Peter Benthien, Hans Benthien, A. G. 

 Seanions, Frank Chervenka, John Kar- 

 lik and Mr. Gullburg. A return game 

 will be plavcil in Tacoma soon.

The Market. 



Stock continues i)lentiful and of good 

 quality. The outdoor crop of tulips is 

 especiallv fine, including Darwin and 

 other varieties. Roses arc plentiful, as 

 are carnations. There is plenty of 

 Scotch heather, snapdragons, sweet 

 peas, marigolds, gillyflowers !nul other 

 spring flowers. Violets are still in their 

 prime. Easter lilies are improving in 

 quality. Cut hyacinths arc still coming 

 in, w"ith some" frecsias, jonquils and 

 other bulbous stock. Blossoms are be- 

 coming less plentiful, but flowering 

 peach is much in evidence and some 

 acacia sprays are still in the market. 

 Crab apple blossoms are more plentiful. 

 Iris, both wild and cultivated, is now 

 in the market and pansies are fairly 

 plentiful. Lilies of the valley are now 

 easy to obtain and gardenias are becom- 

 ing' more abundant as Easter ap- 

 proaches. A fair crop of ranunculi is 

 being cut, but anemones are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



J. A. Axell has the exclusive han- 

 dling of a cut of baby roses, as well as 

 of some good Dutch iris, ranunculi and 

 anemones. "We are daily handling 100 

 dozen Laddie carnations," said Mr. 

 Axell. "Some of the Easter lilies are 

 worth special mention." Mr. Axell has 

 been showing some colored freesias from

 of the stock for Easter. The fault

seems to lie in the bulbs, as the number 

 of blooms this year is small, few going 

 over five blooms. Roses, however, in 

 pots will be the best stock offered for 

 years. Hydrangeas arc good, but some- 

 what limited. Bulbous stock will be 

 plentiful and will help fill in for the 

 cheaper plants. The cut stock in tulips 

 and daffodils will be limited, but the 

 queen of all flowers, the rose, will be 

 plentiful and the best of stock in sweet
