Sweet pea.s of fine quality are coining

H. J. Millett, for upwards of twenty 

 years with Clarke Bros., has resigned

Fred M. Young reports a good clean- 

 up in Easter lilies. He was unable to 

 take care of the demand for his lilies. 

 His stock was A-1. 



The WilsonCrout-Gehr Co. did a 

 large shipping business during Easter 

 week in lilies and various pot plants. 

 This firm had a large call for fancy 

 flower boxes, of which it makes a spe- 

 cialty during holidays. 



Miss Oertz, formerly with the Smith 

 Flower Shop, has taken a position with 

 Clarke Bros, in the retail store. 



Niklas & Son report a large sale of 

 Easter lilies, with the Easter business

SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The Easter clean-up of lilies for the 

 Seattle trade was generally as good as 

 could have been expected, although some 

 dealers found it necessary to make last- 

 minute sacrifices in the matter of prices. 

 This was not due to lack of demand for 

 lilies, but to an unfavorable condition 

 created by foreign growers' activities. 

 All over the city temporary stands or 

 arrangements with cigar store men, 

 grocers and seed dealers had been made 

 by foreign growers, who at once named 

 a price on the lilies l.^S to 2,'} cents per 

 bloom under that at which the florists 

 started the holiday run. Some stores 

 were less affected than others. 



"Xot only should this not have been 

 done from the standpoint of good busi- 

 ness on the growers' part," says one of 

 the local florists on the committee ap- 

 pointed by the Seattle Florists' Associ- 

 ation to check the temporary merchant 

 situation, "but it was not good, clean 

 business on the part of the merchants 

 t.nking in the lilies. Can you imagine 

 the cry there would be from the cigar 

 men, if at Christmas time we commenced 

 tn sell a line of cigars in our flower 

 sliops at less than market prices, or anv 

 other of the lines which handled flowers? 

 We are inclined to raise this point 

 tliroujrh the retail trade section of the 

 Seattle Chamber of Commerce and 

 through other retail associations, and be- 

 lieve they will quickly recognize the 

 Justice of onr claims." 



Beyond this annoyance, there was a 

 volume of business in Seattle for Easter 

 which was highly satisfactory, consid- 

 ering the actual amount of stock sold, 

 whirh surpassed last season considcrablv. 



Various Notes. 



M. "Wallmnrk, Everett, Wash., was a 

 trade visitor last week. Re reports an 

 excellent Piaster business at Everett. 



The Tlollywood Hardens enjoyed a suc- 

 cessful Easter trade, foreign growers' 

 nctivity interfering with its sales hardly 

 at all. As usual, a number of noveltv 

 containers were featured for the day and 

 this shop's buyers showed a keen in- 

 terest in these. The passing of Easter 

 has brought about a return of interest 

 in decorations of real size and several

 NOVELTY ERIC.\ RED MEIWNTHERA 



A very beautiful thing. Identical with 

 ordinary melanthera (the "Scotch Heather"
