asters and Ophelia roses, was made by 

 Shellgrain & Bitter, 148 Kearny street, 

 together with about forty smaller pieces. 

 The entire force worked after hours to 

 complete the orders. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. designed 

 and supplied a number of handsome 

 pieces for the Pease funeral. For an 

 eastern order, a handsome shower 

 wreath of chrysanthemums and Eussell 

 roses was made. Another shower wreath 

 from the MacRorie-McLaren shop was 

 composed of bronze and pastel shades 

 of chrysanthemums. The wholesale de- 

 partment of this establishment is rushed 

 with landscape work at the present time. 



A recent addition to the force of the 

 MacRorie-McLaren Co. is Manuel Go- 

 tell, at one time connected with Podesta 

 & Baldocchi and later with B. M. Jo- 

 seph. Mr. Gotell returned a short time 

 ago from his annual sojourn in the coun- 

 try. For a number of years, he has left 

 the city at the beginning of spring and 

 remained away during the entire sum- 

 mer. 



A wedding of interest to the trade is 

 that of F. C. Jaeger, Jr., of F. C. Jae- 

 ger & Son, 152 Powell street, who was 

 married September 14 to Miss Sada 

 Craig, of this city. The young couple 

 are now touring the state and will re- 

 turn in a short time to make their home 

 in the Cornelia apartments. The wed- 

 ding was held at the home of Mr. Jae- 

 ger, 32 Merritt street, which was beau- 

 tifully decorated in a color scheme of 

 white and pink. The bride's bouquet 

 was of white roses and orchids, while 

 the bridesmaid carried a shower bouquet 

 of pink roses. A large array of wed- 

 ding gifts gave evidence of the popu- 

 larity of the newly married pair.

The Market. 



With President and Mrs. Wilson, Sec- 

 retary Daniels and Admiral Hugh Rod- 

 man in Tacoma, the florists were kept 

 on the go all last week. Good stock was 

 scarce, for besides orders for banquets, 

 there was plenty of transient and fu- 

 neral trade. ri i-f 



Mums are coming in from Calitornia, 

 including such varieties as Chrysolora, 

 October Frost and Monrovia, and are in 

 better flower and foliage than this time 



last year. , ,. v 



Asters, sweet peas and gladioli are 

 past their prime and in another week or 

 so will be gone. There are plenty of 

 choice dahlias but few sales. 



Various Notes. 



The park department had the decora- 

 tions at the .Armory, where the Presi- 

 dent spoke, including a large floral flag 

 made of red, blue and white asters. 



Although the tourist season has not 

 vet closed, all past records for attend- 

 ance for the National park have been 

 broken, according to records maintained 

 bv Park Ranger H. Barnett. Up to 

 September 14 there were 51,000 persons 

 there this season, 



Joseph Chalmers, with the Malmo 

 Nursery, Seattle, was a visitor last week 

 and reports a good growing season, with 

 plenty of advance orders for nursery 

 stock and bulbs. 



C Poolman, of the Woodland Park 

 Floral Co., Sumner, Wash., has returned 

 from a week 's business trip to Yakima.

The Market. 



The summer's business here has been 

 undoubtedly a record-breaker, in that 

 there were almost no weeks when the 

 demand did not exceed the amount of 

 good stock on hand. The summer has 

 been dry in places, but, as most of the 

 growers here have the Skinner system 

 over their outdoor grounds, they have 

 come through without trouble, 



A noticeable feature of this season 

 has been the wider variety of flowers 

 that have been available. The time is 

 not far past when the trade did not 

 believe they could sell anything but 

 roses and carnations, with perha^ a 

 few asters, gladioli and snapdragons for 

 cheap work. Of course bulbous stock 

 has always sold well in season. But now 

 we see annuals and perennials in va- 

 riety, and they are made to fill a thou- 

 sand needs. The public are learning 

 to like the idea too. 



Everyone is well prepared for the 

 fall and winter business. In the early 

 summer there was a hail storm that 

 struck a part of the city, doing heavy
