 illy fdiiiitiT iHisiiicss liavi' coiitribiiteil tn 

 llic bottcniK'nt of trade comlitiotis. Tlio 

 store men have prepared for a big 

 Clivistnias trade. 



At Swanson 's window a luilly arcdi 

 four feet in heiglit and seven in widtli. 

 Hanked l\v Pier.^oni ferns, adds attrae- 

 tivenes.s to the Lorraine begonias, azaleas 

 anil poinsettias in the foreground. May 's 

 Avindiiws ha\"e been gay witli eohir ilnring 

 tlie week, potted plants, eut blooms and 

 liaskets being tlie prominent featnres. 

 Holm & Olson have also had attraetive 

 windows. These tasty windows are the 

 best kind of advertising, and if backed 

 np by good goods, delivered on time, are 

 sure to win trade. 



Various Items. 



The Ladies' Auxiliary to the N. W. 

 Manufacturers' Association, under whose 

 auspices and management the recent 

 flower show was held, have paid all pre- 

 miums in full and report the show a suc- 

 cess financially. This cheering news will 

 be hailed with delight by all in the trade 

 and i)resages a larger and more success- 

 ful show another year. 



The growei'S have a fair crop for 

 I'hristnms. Eoses and carnations will be 

 fairly ]>lcntiful. There will also be a 

 good su]iply of bulbous stock, poinset- 

 tias, azaleas, cyclamens, etc. The only 

 notable shortage is violets. While the 

 |dants are clean, vigorous and healthy, 

 lliey do not bloom. This seems to be the 

 general complaint with all the growers. 



Bouquet green is very scarce, but holly 

 is plentiful and good. Commission men 

 are offering it at a low figure, as usual, 

 but a good quality article sells readily 

 at .+0 per case. Mistletoe is especially 

 line this season. Pepper berries are seen 

 in some of the stores and are very at- 

 tractive. X. Y. Z. 



Toledo, O. — Mrs. E. Suder says busi- 

 ness is good but there is a great scarcity 

 of carnations. 



Missoula, JIont. — The Missoula Kurs- 

 ery Company will put up two more green- 

 houses in the early spring.
