Various Notes. 



H. B. Slausson commenced to cut Ul- 

 rich Brunner roses at his place last 

 week. This is the third season of these 

 plants under glass, and though the crop 

 is not so heavy as last year, the blooms 

 and stems are, if anything, superior to 

 former cuttings. He grows them in 

 solid benches and commences to fire for 

 them about Christmas. 



By the fire which destroyed the pa- 

 vilion at Madison park last week, Carl 

 Melby, whose greenhouses are within a 

 few feet of the building, suffered con- 

 siderably, losing one house of gigan- 

 teums that were in fine condition for 

 Easter. The wonder is that his whole 

 plant was not obliterated, considering 

 the close proximity of the building and 

 the fierce blaze that so quickly de- 

 stroyed it. 



John Holze, Joseph Stuber and Sid- 

 ney Tomlin were the only representa- 

 tives of the Florists' Club who mus- 

 tered up courage enough to go to Ta- 

 coma last week to play the local bowl- 

 ers on their home alleys. After the 

 crushing defeat administered by Seattle 

 at the last match, it was partly ex- 

 • pected that the Tacoma bowlers would 

 try to retrieve their lost laurels, but 

 even this forlorn hope was too much 

 for the Tacoma warriors, and they were 

 defeated by fourteen pins. The Ta- 

 coma florists were lavish in their enter- 

 tainment and the boys had a fine even- 

 ing. 



We have recently had extremely 

 warm weather, which has brought all 

 kinds of spring flowers into bloom much 

 earlier than usual, but last week March 

 showed us a change to his old habits, 

 with cold winds, hail storms and flurries 

 of snow. 



The Easter lilies are far on for the 

 season, and several growers are resort- 

 ing to various plans to retard the ex- 

 pansion of the blooms. The cooler 

 treatment should prove beneficial to the 

 customer. 



The Arcadian Florists have closed 

 their doors after a brief period in the 

 business. 



H. B. Burdett, who is nothing if not 

 artistic, has erected an elaborate roof 

 garden in the rear of his greenhouses, 

 making an otherwise unsightly potting 

 and packing shed into a thing of beauty 

 and a joy as long as it lasts. 



Mr. Troth, of the Western National 

 Show Gardens, at Centralia, was visit- 

 ing among the trade last week.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE BULBS. 



There has been no end of discussion 

 as to why bulbs have flowered so poorly 

 this season. Some of the itinerant bulb 

 merchants assert that it is not true
