PACIFIC COAST. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



The Market. 



Business conditions for the last fort- 

 night have remained about the same as 

 in former reports. The Lenten season 

 seems to have little eifeet on the flower- 

 buying public here. With the approach 

 of spring, flowers are becoming more 

 plentiful and of better quality. Carna- 

 tions seem to lead in demand, being 

 suitable for all occasions. Koses are 

 showing better color and better wood, 

 with a daily clean-up. 



Spring flowers are here in profusion, 

 both as cut flowers and in pans, and are 

 used considerably in table decorations. 

 Some choice azalea plants are displayed 

 in the show windoWs, with stunning re- 

 sults. Callas and longiflorums are more 

 in evidence and are always cleaned up 

 with a fair margin of profit. 



Preparations for Easter are noticeable 

 on all sides. The indications are that 

 lilies will be plentiful and all other flow- 

 ers in proportion. 



VariotM Notes, 



February 22 was designated as the 

 Portland rose planting day, but, under 

 unfavorable climatic conditions, the cere- 

 monies were carried on with difficulty. 

 Boses from many foreign lands were 

 presented by their representatives; 170 

 varieties were presented by the Japanese 

 government. 



H. F. Eichards sustained a severe loss 

 last week from fire, which originated 

 from an overheated flue and partly de- 

 stroyed a carnation house and its stock. 



Martin Reukauf, representing Bayers 

 dorfer & Co., dropped in unexpectedly. 

 He reports business highly satisfactory. 



The Chas. H. Lilly Co. reports spring 

 business as most satisfactory, with a sub- 

 stantial increase over former years.

SAN FRANQSCO. 



The Market. 



The threatened avalanche of flowers 

 is here and we are almost swamped by 

 them. Never in the history of the local 

 market have they been in greater profu- 

 sion or in better quality. This is no- 

 ticeably true in the case of carnations 

 and all kinds of bulbous stock. With 

 roses the excess is not so apparent, al- 

 though it is only a question of a few 

 days before they will become a drug 

 also. It is hardly worth the time to 

 attempt to give prices, as each grower 

 is a law unto himself and the first 

 amount asked is usually much below the 

 rate the retailer has to produce to se- 

 cure the stock. We are in the midst of 

 Lent and everyone is hoping that with 

 the arrival of Easter we will be treated 

 to a resumption of business. The long, 

 cold winter, during which time inside 

 and outside stock made little growth,

closely followed by an unusually warm 

 spell, is to blame for the profusion of 

 flowers at this time. 



Daffodils can be bought as low as 25 

 cents per hundred for first quality stock 

 and the double varieties do not move at 

 even those prices. Easter lilies, from 

 present indications, are going to be plen- 

 tiful and the present quotations are from 

 $2 to $3 per dozen stems. Nothing ex- 

 cept a spell of sharp, heavy frost can 

 change the conditions in the neighbor- 

 hood of San Francisco, and as there is 

 little likelihood of anything of that kind 

 80 late in our season we are strictly 

 against it. 



Violets are commencing to show the 

 results of the warm weather and a few 

 more days will make them much scarcer. 

 Fruit blossoms, especially the double 

 Japanese plums and peaches, are dis- 

 played everywhere and are one of the 

 I best selling articles handled. Tulips
