months that are the coldest in other 

 places. We consider March the latest 

 time that it is advisable to handle many 

 kinds of outdoor planis, and February 

 is usually much better. April is too 

 late owing to the fact that deciduous 

 .stock here is well out in leaf at that 

 time and to handle it means that quite 

 a risk will be taken. 



But to return to the subject of pack- 

 ing, it is evident that the workmen at- 

 tending to that branch of the business 

 in Europe have no idea as to the length 

 of time the stock will remain in the 

 boxes, and it should be the special aim 

 of all the growers expecting to eater to 

 Pacific coast trade to personally see that 

 such packages that are intended for this 

 end of the world are correspondingly 

 packed. This fact should be impressed 

 on the French and Belgian growers by 

 their New York representatives when 

 orders are handled through them, as a 

 great deal more goods would be used if 

 there was any chance whatever of their 

 usually being received in good order.

The Market 



The continued rainy weather, although 

 greatly needed by the country at large, 

 is quite a detriment to business in the 

 floral line. Flowers, especially roses, are 

 very scarce, owing to the absence of sun- 

 shine, and the prices are fully as high 

 as they were three weeks ago. Carnations _ 

 are a little more plentiful but are also 

 bringing extra good prices for the sea- 

 son. Violets are in great abundance and 

 are being used largely in funeral work, 

 which at this time represents the bulk 

 of the business in our line. Outside 

 mums are still in evidence, but are get- 

 ting very scarce. Wild ferns are im- 

 proving "in quality daily and maidenhair 

 and smilax are getting in short supply. 

 A few dafifodils and narcissi are coming 

 into town and wo may expect them in 

 great quantity in a few days. Valley 

 and Roman hyacinths are in sufficient 

 numbers to fill all demands, which ap- 

 pear to be rather light for this class of 

 *took.
