by the CalifoiTiia Industries Association, 

 a decrease in acreage of flower seeds, in 

 favor of vegetables, is noted. The sweet 

 pea seed acreage of the state has shown 

 a decrease. M. M. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The glut of stock is over for a few 

 Aveeks. Mothers' day will take care of 

 all the stock it is possible to get. Tlie 

 last two weeks the weather has been 

 somewhat dull, which has held back the 

 outside stock ; consequently, the demand 

 for carnations has been heavy. Eoscs 

 are being received in perfect condition 

 and somewhat faster than tlie demand. 

 Snapdragons and sweet peas are good and 

 are finding a ready sale. 



Potted plants are scarce, but a good 

 showing in spring stock is to be found 

 in most of the greenhouses. Bedding 

 plants are starting to move and good 

 stock is being offered. 



Various Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held Tuesday, May 3, in the 

 Y, M. C. A. building. One of the chief 

 topics will be, "Should the price of 

 flowers be raised for Mothers ' day « ' ' 



E. Hedger, of the Davenport Flower 

 Shop, has been on the sick list, but 

 he is now able to be at the store again. 



The city-Dcautiful committee is boost- 

 ing hard for the florist this year. Prizes 

 are offered for the best window boxes 

 and best gardens. Some live members 

 are on the committee, including the park 

 superintendent, and the growers are 

 ready with the goods. 



Peters & Sons, of Hillyard. >vash., re- 

 port their business good and so it looks, 

 for they have a new sedan. 



Funeral work has been heavy lately, 

 with a scattering of wedding orders. 



Jack Burt is quite pleased with the 

 business done at his store, which ho took 

 over a few inontlis ago. II. H.

while the latter half saw heavy funeral 

 work and disap[)ointing transient de- 

 mand. Weather conditions were less 

 favorable, with the result that deliver- 

 ies fell off and it was easier to steady 

 the market. The tulip cut was at its 

 height. Tulips this year have been of 

 better quality and larger variety than 

 in previous years and as a result the 

 buying public has t.'iken advantage of 

 this condition to buy more freely than 

 has been the case in previous seasons. 

 Mothers' day may be said to be the 

 chief topic of interest, and from every 

 indication this is going to be a suc- 

 cessful event this year. Some attrac- 

 tive advertising is being done by the 

 retail florists in reininding the public of 

 the occasion, and local retailers expect
