Usual situation of scoiiijj calla lilios one 

 of the most expensive oflferiiijjs on the 

 iiiarket. and to a certain decree this is 

 ^tiil true. Growers of Kaster lilies say 

 yrowiiijr conditions liave been favorable 

 J'lid the market will be well supplied. 



Home-yrown sweet peas of good qual- 

 ity are l)einjj offered, but not in large 

 "'nough (|uantities to eare for tlie de- 

 mand. Some good violets are coming in, 

 I'Mt these are still scarce. Tliere has 

 been an increase in the supply of valley, 

 while that on orchids has slackened upa 

 •'It. Roses continue short and the lioli- 

 fi'i.v and funeral demand had the trade 

 ^••rambling for all available stock. The 

 sjtnie was true of carnations, with some 

 line Pocahontas offered at present. Cut 

 iiilips are common and there are more 

 than enough cut daffodils to go around. 



There is a good, steady demand in 

 potted ])lants, .-ilthough this is hardly 

 l\ee{)ing i)ace with the lu'avier offerings 

 in certain lines. (lood cinerarias .an! 

 hard to tind, while the quality of Km- 

 ])ress tulips has improved. Hyacinths 

 sell widl, since single blooms in ."-inch 

 pots can be sold at prices which attract 

 many buyers. Some shops report a sur- 

 ]irising revival in the interest in me- 

 dium-si/ed ferns. 



Various Notes. 



K. W. Osborne, lately witli the Wood- 

 lawn P'lower Khop, is now on the staff 

 of Rosaia Bro.s. 



The Seattle Fern & Moss Co. has re- 

 modeled its store so as to create an 

 attractive salesroom in the front por- 

 tion and has also increased its refrigera- 

 tor space, so as to care for more stock. 



Tlie combined shipping and local de- 

 mand kept the B. K. Hammond Co. busy 

 all last week, and more stock than was 

 available in a number of lines could 

 have been disposed of easily. Roses 

 were kept cleaned up at all times. 



Heavy funeral work and a number of 

 good-sized ilecorations were features of 

 last week's business for the Woodlawn 

 Flower Shop, combining to give a sales' 

 total considerably in excess of that for 

 the same week last year. There have 

 been more weddings of late, using elab- 

 orate decor.'itive schemes, and this shop 

 enjoyed its sluire of this business. Fred 

 Gust developed an attractive St. Valen- 

 tine's day window for this shop, the 

 chief place being taken by a large heart 

 outline done in red leaves.
