lislud ^riiwirs liorc. "We must coUec-t 

 enough on tliose days to care for the 

 loan suiimur jieiiod, when our prices 

 of luoduitioii arc undercut by part-time 

 growers. It is my opinion tliat one of 

 the liiggest moves in the direction of 

 moro reasonable prices to the public 

 for fioAver holidays is going to be some 

 sort of action on the retailers' part to 

 see that the regular growers' stock is 

 taken in the summer before anything 

 else is purchased. 



There has been a good increase in 

 the cut of roses, and the stock coming 

 to hand is of line quality. Carnations 

 ;ire making a better showing, and the 

 run of gladioli for this year exceeds 

 .inythinj: previously grown by local 

 parties, according to most retailers. 

 Irises liave been popular with buyers 

 end there i'^ more than enough of a de- 

 iiand to clean up stocks as fast as they 

 .•ire offered. Peonies are also selling 

 more freely this year, and the larger 

 shops report a good movement on rho- 

 dodendrons. 



The cut of orchids is beginning to 

 show an increase, which is a good 

 thing, with the run of .lune weddings 

 in sight, while outside lily of the val- 

 ley is getting pretty well out. How- 

 ever, there is a sufficient supply of 

 jireenhouse offerings to offset this con- 

 dition. 



Various Notes. 



Offering;- of outdoor stock grown by 

 himself have been increasing steadily 

 lor Henry Morgan, but liusiness at 

 this sho]. h:i« iiiore than kept pace with 

 tlie increase. 



The Seattle Fern & Moss Co. reports

 various Euroi>ean novelty tlower hold- 

 ers, grouping these attractively in the

 of Seotch lirooni. The results secured 

 Irom this intensive effort more than 

 prove. 1 that the public will buy pottery
