cuted the table work for the reception 

 of the Japanese commissioners and navy 

 officers who are stationed here, relative 

 to matters concerning the Japanese dis- 

 play at the Panama-Pacific Interna- 

 tional Exposition.

 the landscape department of the Pan-

 business for the exposition company.

The Market. 



The early spring this year has caused 

 the dull season in the flower business 

 to come earlier than usual, and already 

 the customary summer stagnation has 

 set in. An occasional funeral is about 

 the only thing to relieve the monotony. 

 One of the drawbacks to a mild climate, 

 as far as the flower trade in this locality 

 is concerned, is that flowers grow out- 

 side with so little care and cultivation 

 that most families can generally from 

 May to October get nearly all the 

 flowers they want, from their own 

 or a neighbor's garden. There is an 

 abundance of all seasonable flowers in 

 the stores. As usual at this time, roses 

 have the preference and of these there 

 are plenty to satisfy all requirements. 

 Carnations are cheap, too cheap, as they 

 have been nearly all year, and growers 

 are hard put to it to make a living 

 from them, at the prices that have pre- 

 vailed ever since Christmas. We used 

 always to buy carnations till June 1 

 ,at $3 per hundred; this year they have 

 been $2 except at holiday times and the 

 difference is quite important. Coreopsis 

 and the like are arriving in ever in- 

 creasing quantities and sweet peas are 

 80 cheap that it hardly pays to pick 

 them. We are all looking and hoping 

 for a much better year next year, with 

 the thousands of tourists visiting our 

 <oast, and certainly all in the trade are 

 going to do their utmost to beautify 

 the city and add to its attractions at 

 that time. 



Various Notes. 



At the monthly meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, held Tuesday evening, June 

 9, a discussion on the selling of flowers 

 by Japanese and others at Pike Place 

 market took place, and it was resolved 

 to petition the city council to set aside 

 an exclusive part of the space at 

 their disposal, for the sale of cut flowers 

 and plants, to be sold only by the 

 grower. At present the Japanese are 

 selling flowers not of their own growing 

 on most of the vegetable stands, and 

 it is with a hope that part, at any rate, 

 of the business may revert to the whito 

 man that the club is moving in the 

 matter. An invitation from the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club to join in the trip 

 to the Boston convention was received 

 by the club and in the event of any of 

 our iiu'nbov going we will gladly avail 

 ourselves of the courteous invitation. 



The trade was fairly well represented 

 at the Mt. Baker Park rose show Satur- 

 day, June 6. The exhibition hardly as- 

 sumed the proportions of past shows, on 

 account of the limited space, but what 

 was lacking in quantity was amply 

 made up in quality and a beautiful col- 

 lection of roses was on view, including 

 many of the latest varieties. J. J. Bon- 

 nell had an extensive display of roses,
