The Florists' Review

have discarded their plants and have 

 put in cucumbers, to the betterment of 

 the carnation business. 



Bosaia Bros, have been showing some 

 grand plants of azaleas this season. 



The nurserymen and plant salesmen 

 are having a busy season just now. 

 The early spring has stimulated busi- 

 ness considerably along these lines. 



Balph Richardson has some fine look- 

 ing Easter lilies this year and has 

 them all in good season to bloom right. 



George Antenen was up to his eyes 

 in funeral wotk when the writer called 

 on him recently. The stock in his 

 houses all looks excellent. 



There does not appear to be much 

 increase in the greenhouse construction 

 business in this district lately, and 

 there is good reason why. The owners 

 of several places I know of are anxious 

 to rent their houses, and over-produc- 

 tion is the trouble with the trade more 

 than anything else. Last season the 

 demand was good for shipments to 

 British Columbia. This season, with 

 that outlet practically gone, the supply 

 of all ordinary flowers is generally ex- 

 cessive. I hear of one grower who is 

 going to raise chickens in his houses 

 as soon as the cucumbers are done; so 

 there is little need for more glass 

 around Seattle. T. W.

The Market. 



A slight falling off in trade has been 

 noticed in all the stores, probably due 

 to the bright and pleasant weather and 

 to the many flowers blooming outside, 

 which distract attention from the 

 stores regardless of what their quality 

 may be. Comparing business with that 

 of a year ago, we find this year's 

 slightly ahead. The market is show- 

 ing a full supply of stock. Carnations 

 seem to be overplentiful; it is almost 

 impossible to find an outlet for all the 

 receipts. Daffodils are at their best, 

 with prices dropping to the bottom. 

 Orchids, valley, violets and sweet peas 

 are plentiful and move at remunera- 

 tive prices. Freesias, fancy tulips, mig- 

 nonette and anemones are splendid in 

 quality and are novelties just now. St. 

 Patrick's day showed considerable ac- 

 tivity, but not so much as in former 

 years. It seems that the florists are 

 at fault to a great degree. They do 

 not push it and make the necessary 

 display. Those things must be kept in 

 the eyes of the public to get results. 



Various Notes. 



Roake & Crewe are located at Castle 

 Eock, Wash., gathering moss and green 

 goods for the local and shipping trade. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held March 17. Considerable 

 business was transacted. It was de- 

 cided not to hold a spring flower show, 

 as it- is impracticable, especially this 

 year. 



The Routledge Seed Co. has found it 

 necessary to enlarge the store to take 

 care of the increasing business. In 

 addition to seeds, the company now 

 has all accessories, ferns and blooming 

 plants. 



L. Goodfriend, representing Wer- 

 theimer Bros., New York, was calling 

 on the trade last week. 



The recent change in the parcel post 

 rates, applying them to seeds, plants, 

 bulbs and cuttings, is gratifying to the 

 local seedsmen and nurserymen. Un-
