are, and sales of these, as well as of 

 California poppies, are large, with a 

 good demand also for the seeds and 

 bulbs to send east. This shop did con- 

 siderable business in April Fool flower 

 boxes, containing stems only, which 

 were sold at 50 and 75 cents. 



Domoto Bros, had some good potted 

 wistarias in bloom for the Easter trade. 



A good example has been set by W. 

 H. Crocker and J. J. Fagan, president 

 and vice-president of the Crocker Na- 

 tional bank, which has lately been dec- 

 orating its quarters extensively with 

 cut flowers. Mr. Crocker says, "Don't 

 confine all the outdoor beauty for 

 which the state is noted to the exposi- 

 tion grounds. Eastern visitors would 

 almost believe that we have grown so 

 accustomed to beautiful plants that we 

 consider them indifferently. Potted 

 shrubbery is easy to procure, and should 

 be in every business house during the 

 fair." The slogan of "Flowers every- 

 where," which these gentlemen have 

 started, seems to be taking hold among 

 other business men, and many offices 

 and retail stores are taking on an un- 

 accustomed festive appearance in con- 

 sequence. A. P. B.

The Market. 



The Easter rush kept all the florists 

 busy, but it is too early to attempt to 

 estimate the volume of the Easter busi- 

 ness. Cooler weather kept the stock in 

 prime condition and the stores were 

 filled with excellent flowers. 



Various Notes. 



John Gower, a well known landscape 

 gardener, has for several years been 

 located in Newberg, where he has a 

 range of greenhouses. He grows a gen- 

 eral stock for retail trade and ships his 

 surplus to this market. He says the 

 winter's business was the best in his ex- 

 perience and he is pleased with the out- 

 look. 



Oregon rose growers and dealers are 

 considerably concerned over the appear- 

 ance in this market of a wholesale rose 

 growing company from California, 

 which has opened a retail store and is 

 advertising extensively, -offering to the 

 public standard varieties of roses at 

 wholesale prices, and by this method 

 disposing of large quantities of bushes. 

 With the present high cost of labor, it 

 is doubtful if the Oregon growers can 

 meet these prices and make a living 

 profit, and if this competition, which 

 seems to them unfair, continues through 

 another season some action must be 

 taken to offset it. It is suggested that 

 the most effective remedy will be a live- 

 ly campaign to influence the public to 

 buy Oregon-grown roses. 



The People's Flower Shop has opened 

 a branch store at 129 Second street. 

 . 8. Lubliner is on duty again after 

 his wedding trip. 



The Tonseth Floral Co, has opened a 

 branch store in the Morgan building. 



W. J. Williams, of the Clarke Bros.' 

 store, has been suffering with an attack 

 of ptomaine poisoning. He is at work 

 again, but feels the effects of his ill- 

 ness. 



Julius Dossche, manager of the rose 

 festival floral center, says all the ex- 

 hibition spaces have been taken and 

 there were not enough to go around. 



The Floral Studio has opened a 

 branch store in the Scandinavian- 

 American Bank building. S. W. W.
