a specialty of pompons in all shades. He 

 finds there is good money in them. Not 

 only are a great many sold as cut flow- 

 ers, but the demand for potted pompons 

 is steadily increasing and many are dis- 

 posed of in this way. His stock is in 

 good shape and will be ready for cutting 

 shortly. 



Many of the local growers who have 

 been unable to procure enough coal to 

 last them through the winter months 

 have been growing lettuce and other 

 vegetables of quick growth. This has 

 saved their houses from lying idle, but 

 since the new ruling of the Fuel Ad- 

 ministrator it is probable that several 

 may change their minds and run the 

 whole of their greenhouse ranges.

SALT LAKE CITY. 



The Market. 



The first heavy snowfall, November 5, 

 has practically destroyed outdoor flow- 

 ers of every description, which have 

 been utilized by the retailers to good 

 advantage for funeral work for the last 

 eight weeks. Scarcity of flowers in this 

 territory and shortened supplies from 

 California will make the market situa- 

 tion uncertain from now on. There is 

 still a fairly good supply of mums from 

 California and Giant violets are starting 

 to come in quantity. Greens have been 

 a scarce item for the last month, but 

 will be ample from now on. A fair sup- 

 ply of California roses has been coming 

 into this city at reasonable prices and 

 were useful for funeral work. Scarcity 

 of flowers in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, 

 Montana and Nevada forced retailers 

 in the small towns in these states to 

 send in their orders to the florists in this 

 city and those catering to the out-of- 

 town trade have enjoyed an immense

Festoon Windins: 

 Machines Improved 



Sixth year on the market. Two types. Makes all kinds 

 f Festooning. Type No. 1 will wrap on any size wire 

 ' sed for its center. One tum with handle givettwo wraps 

 '- n Festooning. Center wire can be measured while Fes- 

 r-toonitiK is wound, which eliminates measuring of Festoon- 

 ing. Type No. 2: _ Fine wire is used for the center, one 

 t urn with handle gives one wrap on Festooning. Does 

 equally at good work as Type No. 1. We furnish machines 

 ready for work, with enough wire to make BOO yards. 

 Three days' trial allowed. Money refunded if machine is 

 not what you want. Prices: Type No. 1, $1%.00; 

 Type No. 2. S6.00. TRY ONE. 



One of Many Testimonials 



La Porte, Ind., Nov. 16. 1916, 

 The Souder Mfg. Co., Bridgeton, N. J. 



Gentlemen: We got one of your machines early in 

 December of last year, and made on it every kind of 

 wreathing and festooning. We found it especially satis- 

 factory in making large holly wreaths on heavy wire. 

 Your machine is all right, We are, 



Yours very truly. THE KABER CO. 



business. The wave of influenza seems 

 well under control in this city, but it is 

 working havoc in the state of Idaho, 

 and northbound express trains are load- 

 ed with flowers every day. The pri- 

 mary election day, November 5, has been 

 one of the dullest days in the floral cal- 

 endar in years past, but every florist 

 in the city was rushed to death that 

 day and the florists' cash registers were 

 heavily loaded with coins. 



The florists are now making prepara- 

 tions for Christmas stock. Considerable 

 stock is being ordered in the flowering- 

 plant line. 



Various Notes. 



Fortunately, none of the florists in 

 this city has been afflicted with "flu" 

 so far. 



Bailey & Sons Co. reports the arrival 

 of aquarium and bird supplies from the 

 east and is featuring displays of high- 

 grade bird cages, Victory singing ca- 

 naries and ornamental aquariums with 

 Japanese fantail goldfishes artistically 

 arranged among blooming chrysanthe- 

 mum plants and ferns. 



Florists in Pocatello, Id., report an un- 

 precedented demand for funeral flowers. 

 Miss Mabel G. Atkin, of Pocatello, who 

 recently started in the business, was 

 perhaps the busiest florist there this 

 fall. 



The B. C. Morris Floral Co. and the 

 Huddart Floral Co. were heavy shippers 

 of funeral flowers recently. The forces 

 of these concerns have had scarcely time 

 to breathe for several weeks. The Hud- 

 dart Floral Co. is keeping up its window 

 display in its usual artistic manner. A 

 recent attractive display was of baskets 

 of chrysanthemum plants, pompon bas- 

 kets and numerous novelty bouquets, 

 arranged by the city's only lady floral 

 artist, Mrs. Harford. 



The Lambourne Floral Co. has had an 

 immense business in funeral work. Its 

 large window was much admired last 

 week for a decoration of exceptional 

 beauty. 



The Miller Floral Co., of Farmington, 

 reports the arrival of Holland bulbs. 

 The outlook for poinsettias for this 

 Christmas is unusually fine.
