Tacoma, Wash. EASTEK TRADE REACHES HIGH MABK. Business has been steadily improv- ing and the Easter trade was equal to that of any former year. There was plenty of stock both in plants and cut flowers. Violets were never better, and roses and carnations were excellent in quality and never more plentiful and all sold well. Bulbous stoclc came nearest to being a glut, but prices were low and it moved along fairly well, the best of it being sold up close. Very few callas were offered and they proved slow sellers. Longiflorums were good in qual- ity, but there was an oversup- ply of them and they were dumped on the market at ridiculously low prices. Some well-grown pot roses were seen but the prices were high and cut down the selling chances. A great demand for small pot plants was noticeable, several hundred longiflorums, really good plants, being sold at 25 cents each the day after Easter. These were part of the surplus left from a heavy shipment from Seattle and would average five good blooms to the pot. NOTES. S. Li. Harper is finishing the sale of his roses and will devote his entire time in the future to the manufac- ture of insecticides. The range he formerly occupied has been leased from the new owner by C. H. Lund- gren, who will continue the business. The California Florists had excep- tionally good Easter business at their establishment. Fine pot plants were seen in abundance and the cut flower supply was all that could be desired. Everything cleaned up. The Hayden-Watson Co. did a large retail business and practically sold out of everything. T
