proved too much for violets and they 

 are suffering from quick consumption. 

 Outdoor-grovirn bulbous stock has been 

 in oversupply and another week will see 

 its finish. 



Various Notes. 



At this writing gardening and spring 

 planting is in full operation. The lawn 

 mower is much in evidence and early 

 shrubbery is in full bloom. A civic im- 

 provement league formed here three 

 months ago is doing good work. Every 

 inducement is offered all classes to help 

 make Portland worthy of its name, "the 

 rose city." The florists and seedsmen 

 gave liberally toward this enterprise, 

 their donations of plants and seeds be- 

 ing distributed among the school chil- 

 dren. Premiums of a general character 

 are offered as an incentive for excellence 

 in this cause. 



It is always refreshing to meet our 

 eastern friends. Mr. Fotheringham was 

 here two weeks ago, introducing all the 

 latest varieties of carnations. And then 

 came the portly Artiold Eingier, who 

 arrived in time to help us celebrate St. 

 Patrick's day. Both gentlemen report 

 business good. "While here Mr. Eingier 

 was taken for a Eussian naval officer by 

 the lady guests at the Portland Hotel, 

 and one of the numerous courtesies ex- 

 tended him was an automobile ride out 

 to the Lewis and Clark fair grounds.

SEATTLE, WASH. 



After being five years out of the busi- 

 ness H. B. Buddenborg has arranged to 

 enter it again. He has just organized 

 and incorporated the Seattle Green- 

 house Co., the stock of which is held 

 by George H. Eandall and himself. The 

 company now has under construction two 

 houses each 20x100 and expects to build 

 six more. Carnations, roses and chrys- 

 anthemums will be grown for whole- 

 saling. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market 



We are in the midst of Lent and busi- 

 ness is only fair. I have made an ef- 

 fort to find out from several of our lead- 

 ing retailers, whether trade is as good 

 with them now as it was a year ago and 

 am able to report that the balance has 

 been in favor of this year thus far; we 

 have had better weather and flowers 

 have been more plentiful and this, 

 coupled with the fact that there is now a 

 good steady demand for all classes of 

 good stock, shows that everything is in a 

 healthy condition. Eoses are not very 

 plentiful and fancy stock is in good 

 demand. Carnations have lowered a lit- 

 tle in price but they are selling well. 

 Lilac, although not as abundant as in 

 former years, sells well and at good fig- 

 ures, Violets are practically over, as 

 well as narcissi and daffodils. Fruit 

 blossoms are being brought into town in 

 large quantities and the florists are sell- 

 ing more of them than they usually do. 

 Wild flowers of some sorts are much in 

 evidence, but they are hardly at their 

 best. Greens and grasses of all kinds 

 are moving well and make up the bulk 

 of the goods handled by many of the 

 smaller dealers.
