but all stock of fair quality is moving 

 well. 



Perhaps the best demand is for Amer- 

 ican Beauties. During the recent hot 

 weather these have shipped more re- 

 liably than other flowers and, the sup- 

 ply being large, the trade has got into 

 the habit of ordering Beauties. The 

 supply this week is much reduced and 

 prices for the best are stiff. There con- 

 tinue to be quantities of Beauties that 

 are not quite good enough to meet the 

 needs of critical trade, but even these 

 find buyers at much better prices than 

 prevailed while the hot weather was 

 on. The supply of roses this week is 

 only a fraction of what it was seven 

 days ago; and good roses are extremely 

 scarce. Everything that possesses any- 

 thing like fair quality is selling at rea- 

 sonable prices. There is special call 

 for red and yellow, with some difficulty 

 in filling orders. Killarney Brilliant has 

 been added to the list of varieties. 



Carnations are more abundant than 

 any other flower. Although many 

 growers are busy throwing out the old 

 stock and replanting the benches, there 

 continue to be large receipts. The 

 flowers mostly are small arid many still 

 are soft. The demand is good and the 

 strictly first-class carnations sell 

 quickly, but it is not yet possible to 

 get anything like quoted prices for the 

 majority of the stock. Average prices, 

 however, will be much better than for 

 last week. 



The local peony cut came to an end 

 last week and it has developed that the 

 quantities of peonies in storage are not 

 so large as was expected to be the case. 

 For one reason or another many growers 

 failed to cut as many as expected in 

 condition for storage. There was a 

 tremendous waste while the local cut 

 was on, but with the opening of this 

 week good peonies became excellent

property. That the few firms that have 

 considerable quantities in storage are 

 more or less in doubt as to the keeping 

 qualities is shown by the way some of 

 them are pushing the stock onto the 

 market this week. 



Sweet peas were practically finished 

 off by the high heat last week; only a 

 few are coming in and these are not 

 good. Gladioli increase in quantity 

 daily; they are good and are selling 

 well this week. Easter lilies, while they 

 continue abundant, are selling better, 

 because of the generally improved con- 

 ditions. Kubrum lilies constitute one 

 item in heavier supply this week than 

 last. Shasta daisies have arrived to 

 reinforce the yellow and field varieties. 

 Coreopsis, gaillardias and other summer 

 flowers now meet with fair sale. Snap- 

 dragon is dwindling. The price of 

 cattleyas is advancing, with increasing 

 demand and decreasing supply. Valley 

 is abundant and large quantities are 

 moved each day. 



The scarcity of ferns is a thing of 

 the past and prices are falling rapidly. 



Atlas Block Changes. 



Work shortly is to be started on 

 changes in the Atlas block to conform 

 to a recent ordinance compelling the 

 clearing of sidewalks in the downtown 

 district. At present the walk on the 

 east side of the Atlas block is broken 

 by the entrances to the stores of Weil- 

 and & Eisch, the J. B. Deamud Co. 

 and the cut flower and supplies depart- 

 ment of the E. F. Winterson Co. The 

 Weiland & Bisch entrance will be closed 

 by the removal of the stairs, but the 

 firm has another entrance from Ean- 

 dolph street and will not be inconve- 

 nienced. The removal of the stairs also 

 will close the entrance to the Deamud 

 store, and it has not yet been decided 

 what will be done in the matter. The 

 Winterson stairs merely will be moved 

 in a few feet. 



A similar change having recently 

 been made in the entrance of A. L. 

 Vaughan & Co., the market section 

 then will be cleared up except for the 

 entrance to the store of Kennicott Bros.
