range at Montebello. The young stock 

 is large and in the best of condition, as 

 are the blocks of Boston and other 

 ferns. The rose houses are coming 

 along in grand shape for Easter. 



The whole of Chas. Brazee's immense 

 cut of tulips is being handled by the 

 Los Angeles Flower Market and the 

 quality of the flowers is magnificent. 

 "Little Holland" was the name sug- 

 gested to Mr. Brazee for his Wilming- 

 ton ranch by one of the Holland sales- 

 men recently. 



S. Murata, who bought out S. Shima 's 

 business at 655 South Hill street re- 

 cently, is doing a brisk trade and his 

 delivery auto truck is kept on the run 

 all the time. Good stock in all lines 

 is being shipped. 



Tulips, Easter lilies and long Ameri- 

 can Beauties are leaders just now with 

 Creutz & Co. Trade in greens is fine. 



San Francisco has decided on a cen- 

 tral market. "What's the matter with 

 Los Angeles? 



The yellow Mexican poppy, Hunne- 

 mannia fumariajfolia, is quite attrac- 

 tive now and it stands well as a cuf 

 flower, much better than the California 

 poppy, eschscholzia. 



Visitors to the El Eeah Greenhouses, 

 at Hollywood, say that the Easter lilies 

 there are the best on the coast.

TACOMA WASH. 



The Market. 



This city and vicinity continue to 

 have fine weather and the prolonged 

 oversupply has forced the prices down 

 somewhat. Carnations are good and 

 may be had in any quantity, but most 

 of the larger growers will clean out the 

 old stock as soon as Easter is over. 

 Lilies seem to be coming slowly, despite 

 the bright weather and the generous 

 amount of fuel being consumed to get 

 them in on time. All kinds of bulbous 

 stock are more plentiful, but there is 

 not the oversupply of former years. 



Trip to Seattle. 



Leaving Taeoma at 9 a. m. March 13, 

 twenty-four of the local florists, includ- 

 ing the bowling team, took a special 

 car for Seattle, where they were met 

 by the Seattle club. 



After a short car ride, followed by 

 a launch ride over beautiful Lake Wash- 

 ington, we arrived at the range of the 

 East Seattle Floral Co. Here we were 

 shown through the well kept houses by 

 the proprietors, Messrs. Stuber and 

 Peterson, after which refreshments 

 were served in the packing rooms. 



From here we were taken to the es- 

 tablishments of the Wilson Floral Co. 

 and the Mathieson Floral Co.; then to 

 Frank Bell's and later to Eisdon & 

 Son's place, where a picture of the two 

 clubs was taken in the largest green- 

 house in the state of Washington. 



A. E. Buxton's place was next vis- 

 ited, and after another short car ride 

 we found ourselves again in the city. 

 A banquet was served at the Olympus 

 cafe, after which all went to the bowling 

 alleys. As usual, the Seattle boys were 

 out of luck and we easily took two of 

 the three games played. No especially 

 high scores were rolled, though the 

 averages were good. 



After the games, all went to the club 

 rooms, where a joint meeting was held. 

 Eefreshments were again served and we
