SEATTLE NOTES. 



[Concluded from page 62.] 



message from her son on it. Harry 

 Crouch reports Mothers' dg.y business 

 considerably in excess of that for 1919 

 and from the cash standpoint nearly up 

 to the last Christmas business. The 

 combination of Mothers' day and the 

 big Sunday funeral caused this house 

 to practically clean up on everything. 



Walter K. Louis, who is Peter 

 Matraia's partner in the Art Floral Co. 

 of San Francisco, was a visitor last 

 week. 



The Beall Greenhouse Co., on Vashon 

 island, has been sending in peonies and 

 gladioli during the last week, being the 

 first local shipper to offer these. Some 

 fine Rose Premier has also been coming 

 from this firm. 



Fred H. Rowe, of McCoy's, showed an 

 effective window. Seated on one side was 

 a Western Union messenger boy with 

 a box of flowers in his hands. On the 

 other side was a framed picture of a 

 young mother and her child and in the 

 central background was the American 

 hemisphere with "Say It with Flow- 

 ers" blazoned across. From the base 

 of this hemisphere hundreds of ribbons 

 ran to cards in the foreground, each of 

 these being from some florist in con- 

 firmation of telegraph business. There 

 were over 200 such cards shown. 



At the opening of Vogue La Rose, an 

 exclusive perfume shop on Third ave- 

 nue, each purchaser was given an 

 Ophelia rose as "a pleasant reminder 

 of Vogue La Rose." 



A marked increase in the number of 

 social events, with an attendant better 

 demand for small flowers, is reported 

 by Rosaia Bros., who have placed more 

 baskets in the last week than for a cor- 

 responding period in a long time. 



Anna F. Burns, of the Burns Floral 

 Co., not only moved such stock as was 

 brought in from California for Mothers' 

 day, but all that the local growers could 

 allow as well. She notes a distinct in- 

 crease in the percentage of telegraph 

 business this year. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. reports a 

 number of good decorations and a steady 

 increase in transient sales. Henry Day, 

 manager, found it a hard matter to get 

 enough carnations for Mothers' day to 

 take care of booked orders. 



Some of the finest colored local iris 

 seen this year came from the green- 

 houses of the Hollywood Gardens. Some 

 good forget-me-nots also came from this 

 firm. It has been some time since the 

 trade has been able to get all of these 

 flowers it has needed. H. M.
