PACIFIC COAST. 



Everett, Wash. — The Everett Floral 

 Co., H. Petersen proprietor, is about to 

 build three greenhouses, each 100 feet 

 long. 



The Everbest Nursery Co., of Wenat- 

 chee, Wash., has been incorporated with 

 $60,000 authorized capital, by A. Van 

 Holderbeke, J. F. Littoor and J. T. 

 Brown. 



VICTORIA, B. C 



During the cold spell in January sev- 

 eral of the fraternity suffered. The 

 thermometer registered 22 degrees of 

 frost, with a strong north wind. As 

 our houses are neither built nor piped 

 for any such weather, lucky indeed was 

 the man who could keep Jack Frost 

 out. To add to our troubles there was 

 a coal and wood famine and an insuffi- 

 ciency of teams. However, we all got 

 through somehow and look forward to 

 a tremendous bedding trade to make up 

 for it. 



Since the frost the demand for flow- 

 ers has been good. The town is boom- 

 ing and good times are the result. 



The Victoria Horticultural Society 

 held its annual meeting last week. A 

 strong committee was elected, $150 

 carried to reserve fund, with a substan- 

 tial balance on hand. This was con- 

 sidered a most satisfactory state of 

 affairs and the society will probably 

 undertake to hold three shows this year 

 instead of the two it held last season.

Those people who take it for granted 

 that the public taste in floral arrange- 

 ment is not developed on the Pacific 

 cosfit to as discriminative a point as in 

 the east, simply have failed to keep in 

 touch with the progress of the times. 

 The Pacific coast has been favored with 

 as great a degree of prosperity as in 

 other sections of the country. The peo- 

 ple are accustomed to the payment of 

 good prices for good articles, in what-

There are some good stores in many 

 of the northern Pacific coast cities and 

 Spokane has several of them. The ac- 

 companying illustrations are from pho- 

 tographs of the store of the Spokane 

 Florist Co., the manager of which is Miss 

 Amy K. Luffman, who is well known 

 throughout the United States through 

 her several years of service as assistant 

 to the secretary of the S. A. F. at the 

 annual conventions. Her home was in 

 Alabama, but she spent several years in 

 Chicago and on going to Spokane a 

 couple of years ago took a knowledge 

 of floral work which was up to the best 

 practice cf the day and which has been 

 a considerable factor in developing the 

 floral taste of the community. The peo- 

 ple in Spokane are as ready as any others 

 to grasp a new idea in decorating.

ciallj noticeable in all lines of bulbous 

 stock and never at any time within tne 

 history of the business here has this 

 class of stock been so plentiful and 

 cheap. Daffodils, although in good de- 

 mand, have been in overabundant sup- 

 ply and have been sold wholesale as 

 low as $3 per thousand. Narcissi have 

 been offered at even a less figure, but as 

 the bulk of this popular flower is now 

 cut, it will advance in a few days. 



Indoor carnations also are gradually 

 lowering in price. The growers have 

 been making efforts to keep the figures 

 as high as they were during December 

 and January, but, owing to the quan- 

 tities being offered, there has been the 

 usual result and prices have decreased 

 considerably. This has not been the 

 result with roses, however, as there has 

 been but a scant supply for several 

 wBeks, with no prospects for any in- 

 crease for another month at least. 



Some relief from the green goods fam- 

 ine is in sight with the advent of wild 

 maidenhair fern. Adiantum, of all de- 

 scriptions, has been one of the scarcest 

 articles in our category for several 

 months and even asparagus has been al- 

 most impossible to obtain at times, but 

 when the wild fern is in season it will 

 bridge over the time very nicely until 

 we again can get all the tame maidenhair 

 required. 



Business considering that Lent has 

 commenced is good. 



Various Notes. 



P. K. Keller, of Piedmont, has sold 

 the ground recently devoted to the nur- 

 sery business to speculators who will im- 

 prove it by the erection 6f stores and 

 houses.
