 The prices realized there are somewhat 

 lower than at the private markets. 



O. E. Panzer says the season is open-> 

 ing well with him. So far he has sblcj 

 his stock ^s fast as it ca;me on, at "prices 

 which leave him a profit. ' • ^' *' 



E, . H. White, of the Willamette 

 Dahlia' Co., reports a splendid. business 

 in his line. Of the SOO-^vaHeties his 

 company handles, about ptfe-third are 

 entirely sold out and several shipments 

 have been brought from the""east ' to 

 fill Orders. Some special 'Advertising 

 features and the loss of roots through 

 severe weather Jb^0 combined to in- 

 crease the volyme^of business.'. ^

The Portland Seed Co. reports returns 

 from the issue of catalogues this spring 

 as highly satisfactory, both as to num- 

 ber of replies received and the amount 

 of sales resulting. Business in general 

 has so far this year been fully up to 

 normal with this company. 



The beautiful violas now shown come 

 from the establishment of John Gower, 

 of Nfewberg. 



Clarke Bros, and Max Smith are dis- 

 playing some of the first tree peonies 

 on the market, which come from the 

 nursery of Henry Birchler. 



The Martin & Forbes Co. has a beau- 

 tiiul window of cattleyas and cibotiums. 



The Tonseth Floral Co. reports a good 

 business 'in bedding stock, porch tubs 

 and hanging baskets. 



J. B. Pilkington, the nurseryman, 

 says he has had a record-breaking 

 spring business. 



No action has yet been taken by the 

 retailers toward establishing special 

 closing hours for the summer season. 

 An agreement was made last year, 

 which was respected by all the signers 

 and proved entirely satisfactory. 

 There is no loss of business due to 

 early closing, and both the employers 

 and employees are benefited by it. Let 

 son^eone start the movement.
