the range is planted to tomatoes and let- 

 tuce as the main crop. At the time of 

 my visit, a few days ago, they were just 

 harvesting a splendid crop of flowers 

 from their carnations, and it was good 

 to see such magnificent Enchantress, 

 White Enchantress, Eose-pink Enchant- 

 ress and Prosperity. In size and length 

 of stem they were the equal of any pro- 

 duced in the more southern climes, but 

 Aristocrat was very small. 



When it comes to lettuce, Frache 

 Bros, are growing a crop as fine as one 

 ever sees. Their tomatoes were set full 

 of fine young fruit, and gave promise of 

 a first-class harvest. To see these houses, 

 away up in the far northwest, and to 

 see the splendid crops that were being 

 there produced, made me feel more 

 strongly than ever that those of us who 

 live in more southern climates would bet- 

 ter not swell up too much and think that 

 we are the whole show. Some of these 

 days these northwestern Canadian broth- 

 ers of ours will come to our shows and 

 wipe the board clean. E. H. Favor.

Business is again quiet, and everyone 

 is looking forward to Decoration day as 

 a possible solution of how to get hold of 

 some ready cash. Flowers in the line of 

 roses and carnations are not as plentiful 

 as they have been, and are being held at 

 somewhat stiflfer prices. The former are 

 in fair demand, however, when the poor 

 condition of trade is considered, but for 

 the latter the demand nowhere is half 

 equal to the supply. 



Sweet peas are the most popular ar- 

 ticle at present and, although the price is 

 uniformly cheap, they move well. From 

 50 cents to 75 cents per dozen bunches 

 seems a low figure, but the growers 

 seem to be making good at these 

 prices. Spanish iris is in abundant sup- 

 jily, but peonies are about over for the 

 season. The late flowering tulips have 

 entirely disappeared. Gladioli, especially 

 The Bride, are in heavy supply. From 

 present appearances, the Memorial day 

 out-of-town shipping is going to be good. 



Various Notes. 



C. A. Fredericks will depart June 1 to 

 view the exposition at Seattle.

Fischer's Grand Freesia PURITY 



The unequaled w^blte decorative Freesia. Send in your orders early if you want the 

 large sizes, as I am booking large orders for them now and will have to refuse orders for 

 mammoth, although I will have many more bulbs than other years. Our stock is absolutely 

 pure, as great pains is taken to remove any rogues, as they may appear, and all seed pods 

 are removed, avoiding all danger of mixture, as Purity does not come true from seed. 

 Dealers getting their stock from us, will always be sure to get the purest of stock.
