thing yet grown in the northwest. The 

 stems have all been at least eighteen 

 inches in length and the bloom is un- 

 usually fragrant. The calyx is also 

 said to be waxier than normal. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. had an effec- 

 tive July 4 window display, arranged 

 by Hetiry Day. Ophelia roses and 

 bachelor's buttons were grouped in a 

 circular bank about a medium-sized 

 American flag on a short standard. 



Rosaia Bros, have purchased the 

 equity of the Humboldt National bank, 

 at Eureka, Cal., in the Cottage Gardens 

 Nurseries. The bank foreclosed a claim 

 of $28,206.37 and sold their interest to 

 the Seattle florists. Palermo F. Eosaia 

 made the trip south to close the deal. 



Gust E. Anderson, of the University 

 Floral Co., reports that a big trade is 

 being developed, despite the fact that 

 the regular term for the college stu- 

 dents has closed. Ferns and combina- 

 tions of outdoor flowers in fern balls 

 have been especially popular. H. M.

The Market. 



Vacation time has set in without any 

 doubt. This was materially emphasized 

 last week by the general falling off in 

 business among the downtown stores. 

 Except for funeral work, the majority 

 of them could have been closed most of 

 the time. But it is seasonable and ex- 

 pected. 



Many of the stores are preparing for 

 renovations of a general character, al- 

 though no radical changes arc contem- 

 plated. 



There is an abundant sujjply of about 

 everything in the market at this season 

 and it moves slowly at low prices. 



Various Notes. 



Smith the Florist will move to his 

 new store, at 200 Washington street, 

 before August 1, as the old building is 

 to be razed. 



V. J. Beraducci left last week for 

 Italy to visit his parents, whom he has 

 not seen in several years. He will be 

 gone about three months. 



Earl Smith, of Pawtucket, is spend- 

 ing a vacation at Point Judith. 



Frey Bros, had a big funeral last 

 week,' which called for several large 

 designs. 



James Parillo is putting up a new 

 greenhouse, 40x70 feot, on his place in 

 Johnston. 



O. H. Williams, who planted more 

 than two-thirds of his range to early 



Florists who now use this 

 handsome jardiniere 



tell us that their customers appreciate the added touch of 

 beauty it lends to cut flowers, potted plants, baskets and 

 ferns. Our illustrated folder showing: the twelve classic desifirns
