The Market. 



The Mothers' day business was fully 

 up to expectations. There was a large 

 call for carnations in all colors. There 

 was a good deal of shipping done by 

 wholesalers and retailors, and, no doubt, 

 some of the country florists suffered by 

 not having enougli stock to take care 

 of the demand. Telegraph orders were 

 heavy and were well taken care of. Dar- 

 win tulips of good quality were sold 

 as a substitute for carnations and 

 brought $1.50 per dozen. Snapdragons 

 brought $2 and $3 per dozen. Sweet 

 peas sold at 75 cents per bunch. Roses 

 were plentiful and sold w^ell. I'ot plants 

 of good quality brought a good price, 

 liydrangeas taking the lead. Many flo- 

 rists reported a general increase in 

 their Mothers' day business this year, 

 as compared with that of l;ist year.

The Market. 



An excellent Mothers' day Itiisiness 

 was the order in the Seattle market, 

 sales jiassing the expectations of the 

 deal(M's t iH'm-<(lv(>s. A good share of 

 this is attributed to the advertising 

 done coo]i('i at ively through the local as- 

 sociation's ]publicity committee. in 

 wliicli the f;ict was driven home that 

 tliere would be no r.aise in prices for 

 Mothers' day. 



As had been exjiected, there was a 

 short .age of carnations for this holiday, 

 but good results were secured with roses 

 and the bright-colored tulips instead. 

 This j)roved a real boon to the trade, a^ 

 a heavy cut of tulips is .arriving. Crow- 

 ing weather has been materially im 

 proved since the holiday iind the cutting 

 on all flowers is due to increase. Lower 

 pric(^s have been generally announced
