Subscribers on the Padflc coast 

 should not fall to note that their spe- 

 cial department of The Bevlew has 

 grown until It now occupies five pages. 

 Give us a boost and the Pacific Coast 

 Department will keep right on growing. 



Montebello, Cal.— H. E. Eichards, 

 well known to the trade in Los Ange- 

 les and vicinity as the representative 

 of The Eeview, has bought a home and 

 acreage near the Whittier turnpike. 



Spokane, Wash. — Jesse Buchholz and 

 C. W. Le Eiche have leased the Baugh- 

 man greenhouses and three acres of 

 land at Thirty-fourth avenue, east of 

 Perry street. The lessees will build 

 more greenhouses and will grow stock 

 for the market. 



SPOKANE, WASH. 



An order issued by Federal Judge 

 Eudkin April 5 directed that the stock 

 of the Inland Nursery & Floral Co., 

 Washington street and Nora avenue, be 

 sold at auction. The company was de- 

 clared bankrupt, with liabilities esti- 

 mated at $25,000, of which $18,000 is 

 secured by its real estate, principal 

 creditors being the Spokane Merchants' 

 Association and E. J. Eice. It is ex- 

 pected that between $4,000 and $5,000 

 can be realized from the stock, which 

 includes trees, shrubs, plants and flow- 

 ers. Mrs. Dora M. Lundy is president 

 and principal stockholder in the com- 

 pany and bitterly contested the pro- 

 ceedings. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



Various Notes. 



The Butler Florists had two extra 

 stores in which to handle their Easter 

 trade, one on First avenue and one 

 on Third avenue. They report fairly 

 good trade at all branches. 



Eosaia Bros, had a large force of 

 additional help for Easter at their 

 store on Third avenue. They did a 

 big business and had not much stock 

 left over. 



The Hollywood Gardens took an over- 

 flow store in the downtown district on 

 Second avenue, to help move their 

 stock. 



M. A. Davis had the store adjoining 

 his own in the Burke building, and 

 handled a large quantity of lilies and 

 potted stock there. 



M. A. Crouch has opened a flower 

 store in the new market, at First ave- 

 nue and Pike street. This is a first- 

 class location for business and the good 

 wishes of the trade are with him. 



Eisdon & Son were hampered by the 

 delay in the construction of their place 

 in the Arcade building. Miss Eisdon, 

 however, was doing fair business under 

 the circumstances. 



Mrs. L. W. McCoy had a large stock 

 of lilies and made a pretty good 

 clean-up. 



The Harrington Co. was doing big 

 business at both stores. 



The Burdett Co. occupied most of 

 the sidewalk on First avenue with 

 its extra stock. 



The Paris Florists, on Pike street, 



had their hands full in disposing of 

 the big lot of lilies and other stock 

 they had for sale. T. W. 



LOS ANQELES, OAL. 



The Market. 



The usual slump after a good holi- 

 day did not occur here. On the con- 

 trary, some fine wedding decorations 

 and a large amount of funeral work 

 have kept stock well cleaned up and 

 the retailers all busy. While the deco- 

 rations at the charity ball were largely 

 carried out by ladies connected with 

 the management, yet there was a big 

 call for flowers and corsages. The 

 heavy rains have damaged the outdoor 

 flowers somewhat, which helps to clean 

 up indoor stock. This is plentiful in 



nearly all lines, and of good quality. 

 The only decided shortage is in orchids, 

 and other flowers have in some, cases 

 to be substituted for these. Early 

 Cattleya Mossise and C. Schroederae 

 are the best offerings, but several of 

 the evergreen dendrobiums, white 

 phalsenopsis and a few vandas are also 

 seen. Valley is quite plentiful and of 

 good quality; the prices are shaded a 

 little by some wholesalers. 



Jonquils are the latest addition to 

 the bulbous stock, and, as usual, they 

 are showy and serviceable. Tulips 

 are magnificent now and the shortage 

 in yellows no longer exists. Fine flow- 

 ers of Coreopsis grandiflora and some 

 excellent gladioli are among the later 

 offerings, as well as huge bunches of 

 ornithogalum, which are fine for large 

 decorations and window displays.
