surplus. Betail prices on cut flowers 

 have not changed. Indoor-grown daffo- 

 dils are about gone and the shorter- 

 stemmed outdoor stock is coming in 

 freely. 



Potted tulips still sell well, those 

 shown being of good grade. Dutch hya- 

 cinths have been of rather poor qual- 

 ity this season and have not sold so 

 well as usual. The poor quality is at- 

 tributed to the bulbs, which seem to 

 have their off periods. Blooming hy- 

 drangeas, spirscas and lilacs have ap- 

 peared. 



In cut flowers, sweet peas are just 

 now the favorites. The volume of busi- 

 ness is only slightly affected by the 

 observance of Lent and is about nor- 

 mal. Betail prices are a little lower 

 than last year and bid fair to stay 

 down, reducing to that extent the 

 amount of money taken in. 



At the greenhouses interest centers 

 on the condition of the Easter stock. 

 Giganteum lilies are inclined to be 

 backward and require high tempera- 

 tures to bring them in. Some of the 

 growers who are short on heating ca- 

 pacity will not be able to make it. A 

 large quantity of French hydrangeas in 

 white and pink are being forced with 

 some lots of Otaksa. i/Sne. Mouillere 

 and Mme. Chautard are the favorite 

 French varieties. Azaleas are in full 

 bloom and the greater part of the 

 stocks will be past their prime by 

 Easter. 



Various Notes. 



L. W. Scott, of the Pacific Stone- 

 ware Co., has made the rounds of the 

 Pacific northwest cities. He reports 

 business conditions promising, especial- 

 ly in the cities located in the wheat- 

 growing districts. He has made a can- 

 vass of the greenhouse ranges in Port- 

 land and vicinity and says there is 

 about 2,000,000 square feet of glass be- 

 ing operated by the growers who sup- 

 ply the Portland market. 



Max Smith is showing some excellent 

 Spiraea Gladstone. 



Axel Alenius, foreman for the Wilson 

 & Grout Co., is again at work and hopes 

 the improvement in his health will 

 prove permanent. 



F. J. Cook, who is operating the 

 Walsh range of glass, reports his 

 benches filled with potted and benched 

 stock in great variety. The most of his 

 output is handled by his father, who 

 conducts the People's Flower Shop at 

 Second and Alder streets. 



Clarke Bros, have had a good run 

 on Sir Watkin daffodils. They are 

 showing the last of these for this sea- 

 son. Some Prince of Austria tulips 

 and red amaryllises add to the attrac- 

 tiveness of their window display. 



Miss E. A. Bergen, who with her 

 brother is proprietor of the Bergen 

 Floral Co., of Hillsboro, says they have 

 found ready sale for all of their out- 

 put this season. The company has some 

 local retail trade, but wholesale the 

 bulk of the carnations and plumosus. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. is busy with 

 Easter lilies, which require high tem- 

 peratures to bring them in on time. It 

 has a good lot of bedding stock. A 

 number of ku'nquats in bloom add va- 

 riety to the contents of the well-filled 

 houses. Business at the store of the 

 company is good. 



Martin & Forbes Co. has its city 

 range of greenhouses, on East Fiftieth 

 street, full of flowers and plants. In- 

 side and outside the place is kept in 

 first-class condition. Mr. Forbes is spe-

What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade abont

Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say I That ad's a homdinser for gettlnr tba 

 bosiness.— Everett Floral Co., Everett, Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttinrs advertised, and yon 

 will not hear from me again until I can ret soma 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100,000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next season, as I know The Review 

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

 geles. Cal. 



Please cut out of our advertisement In The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all oar 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct restilt of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that onr 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 of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives reaulta.
