and we believe wc supplied all the cut buds except for one lot grown in the east from plants 

 obtained from us last year. We shipped cut buds to New York, Chicago ^nd many other cjties. 

 The rose was the hit of Fifth avenue and its fame spread throughout the country, resulting in a 

 demand for the buds in every store that caters to the good trade. It is in great request for corsage 

 bouquets, Colonial bouquets boutonnieres, etc. Appreciating that because of our distance from the 

 largest markets we can not handle the demand for cut buds, we have prepared to supply young 

 plants to powers who know a money-making novelty when they see it.

Various Notes. 



The consensus of opinion was that 

 the season of 1913 has not been an es- 

 pecially good one, due to a variety of 

 causes not likely to prove permanent. 



The oldest nurseryman present was 

 A. Miller, of Milton, Ore., who is 83 

 years of age. The man farthest from 

 home was M. Lavavasseur, of Orleans, 

 Prance, who is on a tour of the United 

 States.

The Market. 



While there are more than enough, 

 flowers of every variety to meet all de- 

 mands, the stock is not quite so plenti- 

 ful as it has been. There is still an 

 oversupply of greens and of lily of the 

 valley. Some good carnations are to be 

 had at from 50 cents to $2 per hundred, 

 but they are not selling. A large quan- 

 tity of these are going to the street 

 men to be sold at "slaughtered" 

 prices. The supply of Easter lilies has 

 shortened materially and the asking 

 price is now between $6 and $8 per 

 hundred, as against $2 per hundred last 

 week. Cattleyas are in little demand 

 at from $4 to $6 per dozen. The sea- 

 son 's glut is about over, but they are 

 still plentiful. Asters are the latest 

 addition to the market, but these are 

 nqt as yet arriving in swamping quan- 

 tities.

 ers, the bottom has about dropped out

and during this season the old saying, 

 that "when Congress is in session busi- 

 ness is good," does not apply. The 

 business done until recently, however, 

 has been satisfactory and there is no 

 real cause for complaint.
