PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND. ORE. 



State of Business. 



We are pleased to be able to report a 

 continuance of great business activity 

 and a market well supplied in the gen- 

 eral lines. Everything under glass is 

 showing a vigorous growth in response 

 .to the bright spring sunshine. Violets 

 are a feast and anyone with "two bits" 

 to spare can wear a bunch. No one has 

 reason to regret haying grown them, and 

 the retailers find the home product more 

 profitable than those imported from 

 California. Not until this month was 

 the supply of carnations equal to the 

 demand and prices are holding up well. 



Roses are maintaining the season's 

 usual standard of quality, only a little 

 shy in quantity. Bulbous stuff has been 

 our salvation, for without it we would 

 have been up against it, owing to the 

 unprecedented^ call for design work. 

 Never onc^tj^li'ris it accumulated, although 

 handled in large quantities. Daffodils 

 have been popular for festive occasions 

 and we do not think there was any 

 money lost on them at 75 cents and $1 

 per dozen. 



Surely spring has come to stay, as 

 Mr. Eobin demands his breakfast at six 

 o'clock, crocuses are blooming outside 

 and, unless unfavorable symptoms set 

 in, there should be an aoundance of 

 everything for the Easter trade. 



VariotM Notes. 



The building fever is spreading and 

 several of our leading growers will add 

 substantially to their respective places. 

 George Betz tells us with great dignity 

 that he has already commencea opera- 

 tions up the valley on a new range of 

 15,000 feet. 



Charles Street, of Clackamas, will put 

 some of his violet money into two new 

 houses. Robinson Bros., of Woodstock, 

 will do likewise. 



Tonseth & Co. also announce that there 

 will be more than one smoke stack on 

 their premises a few months hence. 



Clarke Bros, have outgrown the space 

 they occupy and, surrounding property 

 being too valuable for greenhouse pur- 

 poses, we are informed that this firm 

 will build a strictly modern range about 

 seven miles from town. 



We have not had the opportunity of 

 interviewing Mr. Sibson recently, but we 

 venture to say that he will need more 

 room for Richmond and Kate Moulton 

 another year. He reports a sale for 

 everything and orders increasing from 

 out of town. There are others talking 

 expansion, but we have been too busy 

 to call on them, so will refer to them 

 later.

 F. R. Pierson Co., spent last week with

 the new carnations. When giving the

The Market 



Lent is still with us and the weather 

 has not been conducive to much transient 

 trade, but notwithstanding these draw- 

 backs we have had a fair share of busi- 

 ness during the last week. Flowers are 

 gradually getting lower in price, with 

 the exception of roses. Violets are com- 

 mencing to take on their spring growth 

 and are getting scarce in consequence. 

 The price has been advanced 25 cents 

 per dozen bunches by the wholesalers. 



Bulbous stock is not so plentiful as it 

 has been and not much is seen except 

 some late daffodils. Eomans are out 

 of the market. A few Dutch hyacinths 

 are being used by the retailers. Tulips 

 seem to have lost their hold on the 

 public and few have been shown this 

 year. Quite a quantity of freesias are 

 being brought in and find ready sale at 

 $2 per hundred. 



Carnations are a shade lower than 

 last week and the supply is good, but 

 not in excess of the demand. 



Outdoor stock, with the exception of 

 bulbous flowers, is not in evidence yet 

 and it will be several weeks before we 

 have anything to draw from. Maiden- 

 hair fern of the wild variety is plentiful 

 and it has proven a godsend to the re- 

 tailers, who have been woefully short of 

 everything in the line of green stuff 

 since the holidays.
