SEATTLE NOTES. 



[Concludod from page 11H.1 

 formed the background and on either 

 end were placed two large tires on 

 stands. In the road and delaying the 

 progress of the automobile were five 

 china ducks. 



Flowers were everywhere used at this 

 year's show, the general work having 

 been done by the Woodlawn Flower 

 Shop and the individual exhibits by dif- 

 ferent houses. One firm featured six 

 dozen roses, giving these away each 

 evening at the close of the show and re- 

 plenishing the basket the next day. 

 Practically every exhibit had at least 

 one basket or a large potted plant. 



But the automobile show was not the 

 only motif for window decorations last 

 week. At the Woodlawn Flower Shop, 

 St. Patrick was given the call, with 

 green and gold used throughout. Green 

 velvet window drapes marked the cor- 

 ners of the window and the background. 

 At one end stood a golden harp about 

 seven feet in height and at the other 

 end was a tall pedestal, to which were 

 chained two dark green parrots. Greens 

 and spring flowers completed the dis- 

 play and cards above the parrots' heads 

 were used to indicate conversation con- 

 cerning the store and the need for using 

 flowers. 



Further expansion of their growing 

 business was indicated last week by 

 Eosaia Bros, in their purchase of the 

 Woodland Park Floral Co., which is 

 better known to the trade by the name 

 of the Orpheum Floral Co. Rosaia Bros, 

 will continue to operate this store and 

 have placed Henry Day, from the main 

 store, in charge. This means a better 

 outlet for the crop from the Thomas 

 Floral Co., which supplies Rosaia Bros. 

 They struck a novelty note last week 

 when they offered Ward roses and small 

 sprays of California dwarf oranges for 

 use in homes and small decorations. 

 Some fine azaleas and cattlcyas are ar- 

 riving for this house and both have 

 been cleaning up fast. 



Satisfaction is expressed here by Wil- 

 liam Goldsbary, of Kenney's Home of 

 Flowers, over having closed a contract 

 with a local undertaking firm for total 

 business of $14,000. This shop showed 

 the first window of flowering Japanese 

 plums for this season, which attracted 

 much comment. 



Some of the local florists last week 

 maintained that Anna F. Burns, of the 

 Burns Floral Co., took a chance last 

 week in showing green carnations and 

 .ionquils in the same window. This shop 

 is directly across from the city offices 

 and officials of Irish extraction agreed 

 that only the fact that the carnations 

 were on the highest pedestal in the win- 

 dow prevented a disaster. M.
