 variety and on asparagus. 



Various Notes. 



A fire in the greenhouses of the 

 Blanding Avenue Nursery, of Ala- 

 meda, on the night of March 7, did 

 damage to the extent of $700. 



C. G. Patten, of C. G. Patten & Son, 

 Charles City, la., is here on a pleasure 

 trip. 



Burglars made an effort to break into 

 the store of the Elmhurst Floral Co., 

 on Thirteenth street, Oakland, on the 

 night of March 13, but were scared 

 away by passers-by and escaped be- 

 fore they had stolen anything from 

 the premises. 



C. E. Lilley, of Santa Cruz, Cal., is 

 shipping large quantities of late-flower- 

 ing daffodils to the local trade. His 

 stock of Emperor and Empress was 

 extra good this season. G.

The Market. 



Trade was fairly good last week, sev- 

 eral large funeral orders having helped 

 to clean up some of the surplus stock. 

 Flowers of most varieties are plentiful 

 and in most cases quite up to the de- 

 mand. St. Patrick's day created a little 

 stimulus for white carnations. There are 

 too many carnations, and the retailing 

 of them at 35 cents a dozen does not 

 tend to improve their status. In the 

 same way the cheapness of violets 

 oauses the better class of flower buy- 

 ers to discontinue wearing them. Bulb 

 stock continues cheap. Sweet peas are 

 in most of the stores, but there is no 

 great sale for them. The same may 

 be said of valley, the price of which 

 does not pay the cost of the pips. Good 

 quality hyacinths are scarce, while 

 spiraea is fairly plentiful. 



Tacoma Club Visit. 



On one of the most glorious days of 

 this most glorious spring the Tacoma 

 Florists' Club returned the visit of the 

 local club. They were met on arrival 

 of the interurban by representatives of 

 the Seattle Florists' Club and escorted
