For all cIsMes of ornamental nursery and green- 

 honse stock, ferns and palms at right prices. 



ful, are hard to keep moving. Sweet 

 peas show the etfect of the heat, which 

 necessitates a sharp cut in the prices. 

 Orchids are in fine form, with a slug- 

 gish market. The shipping trade is 

 gradually dropping away just at a time 

 when we could serve best. 



Various Notes. 



H. Bornhoft, of Seattle, Wash., spent 

 several days here last week renewing 

 old acquaintances. 



The regular meeting of the Sweet 

 Pea Society was held at the Multnomah 

 hotel, to conclude plans for the show 

 to be held in July. The exhibits will 

 be open for competition to amateurs 

 and commercial growers alike. Captain 

 George Pope is president of the society. 

 The dates and locations will be an- 

 nounced later. 



A. A. Graver, of Salem, Ore., called 

 on the trade last week. He has a store 

 in connection with other business. For 

 the present he has about 4,000 feet of 

 glass, but will add to this as the busi- 

 ness justifies. 



The Holden Floral Co., which re- 

 cently leased the William Sibson place, 

 has incorporated for $5,000. The com- 

 pany has about 40,000 feet of glass, and 

 will grow carnations, roses, bedding 

 plants and flowers for the wholesale 

 trade. The incorporators are John Hol- 

 den, Frank Chervenka and John Kol- 

 lock. 



S. Lubliner is now in his new loca- 

 tion^ in the Portland hotel. He has a 

 good store, centrally located, with every 

 facility for handling his increasing 

 trade. 



George Spencer spends his Sundays 

 trolling for salmon. So far his luck has 

 not been encouraging. E. E. C. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business is showing a slight improve- 

 ment over previous reports, and while 

 not so busy as they would like to be, 

 most of the florists are wearing a more 

 cheerful look. Stock of a few varieties 

 is scarce, but there are plenty of others 

 to take their places. Carnations for 

 Mothers' day were in strong demand, 

 and the supply short. Roses are fairly 

 plentiful and outside stock is now com- 

 ing in, but the demand keeps good. 

 Peonies are plentiful; the old red 

 officinalis, as usual here, is about the 

 best seller. Spanish iris is plentiful, as 

 are Blushing Bride and Peach Blossom 

 gladioli. Geraniums and other bedding 

 stock are moving fast, and if prices are 

 pretty low, there is compensation in the 

 fact that there will be few left over. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Fowler, who wields the pen in 

 the Q^ce of the H. B. Burdett Co., has 

 aspirations in other walks of life, as 

 may be seen by her success in winning 

 the $25 first prize for a life story in the 

 Sun last week. Out of 180 stories sent 

 in, hers was judged to be the best. 



C. Hoflfmeister has been planting 

 about a mile of window-boxes on the 

 Bon Marche's premises, at Second and 

 Pike streets, during the last week. The 

 appearance lends an attractive air to 

 the locality and the example is being 

 followed by the Clemmer theater 

 opposite, which has had rustic looking 

 boxes put up and filled by the Wood- 

 lawn Flower Store.

Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade abont 

 it by nsing the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably rexx)rt good 

 results. Like this: 



Say! That ad's a hiundlnger for ffetting the 

 business.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and you 

 will not hear from me again until I can get some 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100,000 Carnation 

 cuttlngg for next season, as I know The Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los An- 

 geles, Cal. 



Flease cut out of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all our 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement In your paper.— Spokane 

 Qreenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department ol 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results. 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash.

 all or a considerable part of

 for contract rates.
