SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



So far as can be learned at this early 

 date, everyone in the flower business 

 had a good trade at Easter. Large 

 stocks of all kinds of flowers were on 

 hand. Some of the stores found it 

 necessary to take additional premises in 

 order to handle their trade. Eoses, car- 

 nations and all classes of flowers were 

 selling well and hopes were held out 

 that the increase in business might con- 

 tinue after Easter. Lilies were more 

 numerous than usual and the quality 

 rather better than in former years. 

 Some department stores tried selling 

 them at 20 cents a flower, but that did 

 not seem to prevent legitimate florists 

 from getting 25 cents for theirs. Most 

 of the growers had early advance orders 

 for all their stocks of lilies. Lilacs, 

 deutzias and other forcing shrubs were 

 plentiful and some fine rhododendrons 

 were on sale, while the late azaleas 

 were of first-class quality. 



Various Notes. 



H. B. Hanson will soon be cutting a 

 fine crop of Ulrich Brunner roses in one 

 of his houses. This rose takes the place 

 of American Beauty here. 



The Seattle Pottery Co. recently en- 

 larged its plant, putting in another ma- 

 chine and a new engine, and is now 

 said to have the largest capacity for 

 manufacturing flower pots in the Pacific 

 northwest, under the management of 

 J. O. Hawkins, who for years superin- 

 tended the Garden City Pottery, at San 

 Jose, Cal. T. W. 



HOLLYWOOD, WASH. 



A Seattle newspaper recently devoted 

 more than a page of its Sunday edition 

 to an illustrated description of the 

 greenhouses, the gardens and the model 

 dairy farm conducted here by Mr. and 

 Mrs. Fred S. Stimson. Mr. Stimson is 

 referred to as "the holder of a great 

 share of the bulging fortune won from 

 one of the oldest and greatest of 

 Seattle's industries, the Stimson lumber 

 mills." On the farm, says the news- 

 paper, Mr. Stimson has built a milk 

 barn that looks big enough to serve as 

 a railroad roundhouse — in reality 44x220 

 feet and thirty feet high — a feed barn 

 44x150 feet, a spacious calf barn and a 

 power plant big enough to run a saw- 

 mill, by which all the buildings can be 

 served with light, heat, water and 

 power to drive ^'aricus machines. 



The five fine greenhouses, comprising 

 50,000 square feet of glass, are used 

 entirely for carnations and a large cut 

 is daily sent to the market. The two 

 specialties, therefore, are "cows and 

 carnations." Mr. Stimson gives his at- 

 tention to his fine breeds of cows, while 

 Mrs. Stimson has charge of the carna- 

 tions. 



Pasadena, Cal. — J. Glasscock, 130 

 East Colorado street, has sold out his 

 business to W. H. Eldred, who has been 

 connected with the store for some four 

 or five months.
