returned home, tired but believing it to 

 be the best day ever. These are the lit- 

 tle things that tend to bring the two 

 cities closer together, both in a business 

 and social way, and will no doubt do 

 much good to the trade of both cities. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Miefke opened a flower store 

 here last week. She will carry on a 

 general florists' and nursery business. 

 The stock will be supplied from her 

 greenhouses at Fife. 



The Smith Floral Co. is making 

 extensive improvements in its new 

 store. A fine show case is among the 

 attractions noted. The company's 

 greenhouses in the south end are look- 

 ing well, and Mr. Smith reports business 

 good along all lines. J. L. S.

The bright weather has put a quietus 

 on business. It seems as though funeral 

 work slacks up the same as the counter 

 trade. Carnations are overplentiful in 

 all varieties, but the percentage of 

 splits is being decreased as the season 

 advances. Eoses are increasing in 

 quantity but are far from being in 

 surplus. Daffodils are in full bloom in 

 the gardens, so prices are gradually 

 declining. The demand for pans of 

 hyacinths and tulips has been remark- 

 ably brisk and good prices generally 

 have prevailed, although the low prices 

 of some florists make some people 

 skeptical of their values. 



Various Notes. 



Clarke Bros, shipped a large consign- 

 ment of Oregon grape to San Francisco 

 this week, to be used by the Oregon 

 delegation selecting the first site at 

 the exposition grounds. 



Alder & Robinson have opened a store 

 in Oregon City, reporting business sat- 

 isfactory to date. E, R. C,

The Market. 



According to the weather man, this 

 vicinity has had but nine inches of 

 rain this season, as against twenty- 

 seven inches one year ago. We have 

 had most of these showers during the 

 last few days and they were the most 

 welcome blessings this portion of Cali- 

 fornia has had for some time. Now that 

 the fear of an excessively dry season 

 is dissipated, everyone feels better and 

 the chances for business have increased 

 to quite a noticeable extent. We are in 

 the midst of the lenten quietness and 

 are having about the same amount of 

 trade as in this season last year. Funer- 

 al orders are good and have been so 

 for several weeks. 



There is plenty of stock, with an 

 abundance of late-flowering narcissi, 

 brought into shape by the rains. Violets 

 are scarce and a few weeks of warm 

 weather will finish them for the season. 

 Carnations and roses are a shade lower 

 in price than they have been, with still 

 lower quotations in sight. Easter lilies, 

 freesias, hyacinths and valley are 

 about as they were last week. Tulips 

 are not so plentiful. Fruit blossoms 

 and wild flowers are in evidence. Greens 

 are not as plentiful as they usually are 

 at this time. The wild maidenhair is 

 slow in growing this year and its scarci-
