Garfield. Wash.— Scott Bros., of the 

 Roselawn Greenhouses here, have torn 

 down the houses preparatory to remov- 

 ing them to Moscow, Idaho, to be con- 

 solidated with the Eoselawn Green- 

 houses recently erected at that place. 



The Dalles, Ore. — The Jewell Green- 

 house Co. has found it necessary to add 

 another house and the work of erectingt 

 it is now well advanced. It will be 

 used for chrysanthemums. An extra 

 house for the growing of carnations and 

 violets was completed last fall. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Business along all lines in the flo- 

 rists' trade has been pretty good for 

 some time, and though a lull may be 

 expected now that so many outside 

 flowers are blooming, the season so far 

 has been fully up to the expectations 

 of most in the trade. Good outside 

 roses are now arriving in abundance. 

 Brunners and Testouts, as usual, are 

 extra fine. Carnations, which were 

 scarce for the large Memorial day busi- 

 ness, are now plentiful. The prices of 

 these are keeping up, but a drop may 

 be expected any time now. Sweet peas 

 are in fine condition, but the price 

 dropped from $4 per thousand last 

 week to $2 this week. Peonies are 

 plentiful and good, but the prices for 

 the later blooms are hardly commen- 

 surate with the prices that prevailed 

 for the early ones. Spanish iris is 

 plentiful. 



Geraniums and other bedding plants 

 have had a good clean-up this year. 

 In fact, good geraniums lately could 

 hardly be procured. Single scarlet and 

 salmon are almost the only sorts sal- 

 able in this market. 



Various Notes. 



The Art Flower Store closed its doors 

 last week, business in its location, on 

 the Marion street viaduct, not being 

 sufficient to justify the store's con- 

 tinuance. 



Miss Wagner is doing good business 

 at her new store, The Crescent, on Pike 

 street. 



The Paris Florists, on Pike street, 

 have now one of the most artistic 

 stores in the northwest and are doing 

 good business. 



The Burns Floral Co. is getting its 

 full share of the funeral work and is 

 doing a large cut flower business. 



Bosaia Bros, are keeping up their 

 trade and say traflSc increases on Third 

 avenue along with their business. 



A. E. Buxton is cutting a great quan- 

 tity of fine carnations at present. 



Frank Bell has most of his young 

 stock of carnations in the benches and 

 he figures on having all of them in by 

 June 15. It is the consensus of opinion 

 that early planted carnations are best 

 in this locality. 



H. B. Slauson having been successful 

 in growing roses this spring, a number 

 of other growers have made up their 

 minds to try it. Hitherto the opinion 

 has prevailed that the little sunshine 

 we get here in the winter will not make 



good roses, and the men from Missouri 

 are plentiful in our midst. 



Cucumbers are keeping up in price 

 fairly well and many growers are reap- 

 ing the benefit. They can stand it 

 well enough after last winter's prices.

The Market. 



With the beginning of June a much 

 better tone was noted in the trade, and, 

 while stock is even yet overplentiful, 

 there is nothing like the glut that ex- 

 isted a week or two ago. Carnations 

 continue to arrive in immense numbers 

 in all the popular colors. Sweet peas 

 are not as plentiful, but better in qual- 

 ity, the result of spring sowing. Owing 

 to the demand for good funeral work. 



clear lavender peas have cleaned u]) 

 well and there are occasional shortages. 

 Outdoor roses still come in, but the 

 quality is gone for the season and they 

 are not good enough for anything but 

 the cheaper work. Cecil Brunner still 

 arrives in good shape, but the flowers 

 are smaller than formerly. Gladioli arc 

 at their brightest and best now, some 

 grand spikes in all the leading varieties 

 being shown. Perhaps the finest, out- 

 side of the ever popular America, is 

 Mrs. Francis King. A few of the 

 ruflled whites are in and these please 

 by their novelty. The yellow grounds 

 are better this year than they have 

 ever been before. Of the smaller flow- 

 ers there is a good supply, and Shasta 

 daisies were never better. 



The indoor roses keep up their qual- 

 ity fairly well, though they are thin 

 compared with a few weeks ago. The
