Early Easter shipments were the chief 

 factor in recent trade developments, 

 with growers noting some increase as the 

 Lenten season drew to a close. It was 

 noticed that all of the retailers began 

 their display of Easter lilies early this 

 year. 



Snapdragons will be the next outdoor 

 ofifering on the market and several grow- 

 ers have stock which is almost ready to 

 cut. The first shipment of California 

 irises proved a trade novelty, but was 

 priced too high to bring about a general 

 demand. 



The cut of roses is increasing, but 

 not enough to bring about the slightest 

 weakening of prices. Carnations have 

 been holding back, partly the result of 

 the uncertain weather conditions, with 

 the result that deliveries of first-class 

 stock are cleaned up easily. Greens are 

 in demand and move out readily. Sweet 

 peas clean up easily. 



As for potted offerings, ferns are in 

 better demand and the same holds true 

 of cinerarias and geraniums, but the 

 other items are becoming less of a 

 novelty and show an inclination to drag. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Harvey Barton, of Barton Florist, 

 Yakima, was a recent trade visitor, and 

 attended the last meeting of the Seattle 

 Florists' Association. 



Rooted cuttings continue a heavy fea- 

 ture of late sales with Morgan's Flower 

 Shop. There has also been a healthy in- 

 crease in general sales. 



Eosaia Bros, are cutting fine Premier 

 ro.ses, at the greenhouses and will have 

 a large summer crop to handle later on. 

 The lilies coming in are all excellent, but 

 are short-stemmed. 



Frank Bell reports that he has about 

 the same acreage set out to snapdragons 

 this year as last, mainly in yellow. From 

 present indications the cutting can start 

 in about another week, or nearly a fort- 

 night ahead of the first 1921 deliveries. 



The Pinehurst Floral Shop has enjoyed 

 n decided increase in business on large 

 lloral pieces during the last week, as well 

 •Ts a continued call for the medium sizes. 



The Bon Marche Flower Shop has han- 

 dled more business of late, according to 

 Irving Harris, with small potted items 

 among the sales leaders. 



Fred Gust entertained P. F. Rosaia 

 and Felix Kosaia at his home at dinner 

 last week, with Thomas Luke, of the 

 Smitli Flower Shop, in Portland, as the 

 lionorcd guest. Mr. Luke was on his way 

 lionie from Victoria, where he attended 

 the northwest district Rotary Club con- 

 vention. 



At the last meeting of the bowling 

 group of the Seattle Florists' Associa- 

 tion, a team representing the store men 

 beat the team representing the growers 

 by a decisive score. The winning team 

 was composed of William Desmond, B. E. 

 Hammond, Samuel Dunlap, Carl Melby 

 and J. C. Dressen, while the losers were 

 Lambert Pedersen, Joseph Stuber, John 

 Holze, Henry Hammerlund and William 

 Goldsbary. As in all such cases, the 

 losers have an alibi, claiming that the
