and through the use of fountains, sum- 

 mer flowers and light-colored perennials 

 some unusual effects for a summer eve- 

 ning's lawn party were secured. Sev- 

 eral hundred corsages and baskets were 

 included in the order. 



Miss Anna F. Burns, of the Burns 

 Floral Co., reports a nice business in 

 summer flowers. The windows of this 

 shop have lately been redecorated in 

 white enamel and present an attrac- 

 tive appearance. 



Kenney's Home of Flowers used tall 

 cat-tails and swamp grass in a large 

 basket as the centerpiece of a window 

 display last week. Water lilies were 

 used at the base of this display. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. showed sev- 

 eral attractive baskets of water lilies, 

 Regal lilies and White Killarney roses 

 last week. 



John M. Finley, formerly county 

 agent for Idaho county, Idaho, has been 

 looking over western Washington points 

 with the idea of locating. He is an 

 experienced greenhouse man and is go- 

 ing to start in business somewhere in 

 the state of Washington. 



H. P. Anderson, of the University 

 Floral Co., has closed his store until 

 the end of August and has gone on his 

 annual vacation. Since the greater 

 share of this firm's business comes from 

 the college activities, Mr. Anderson 

 says that there is no real loss of busi- 

 ness in handling the vacations this way. 



George Warner will shortly celebrate 

 his first anniversary as head gardener 

 for the University of Washington. He 

 now employs a force of fifteen men the 

 year around and his showing of roses 

 has been especially commented on among 

 growers. The campus gardens show more 

 than twenty well known varieties. 



Thomas Luke, of Max Smith's, Port- 

 land, Ore., called on the trade on his 

 way home from Victoria. He acted as 

 an official at the international yachting 

 regatta there last week. H, M.

The Market. 



Florists are not doing much business. 

 A large number of them are now taking 

 their vacations; therefore, those who re- 

 main are kept busy with funeral work 

 and any other business coming up. 



Many people are away now at the 

 beaches and mountains and other places 

 of interest or pleasure; so naturally 

 there are not so many social events in 

 the city, necessitating a dull season for 

 the florists. 



Gladioli are the strong item in the 

 market at present. The wholesale price 

 is low compared with the price growers 

 have had to pay for bulbs. Carnations 

 are in fair quantity and reasonably 

 good quality. Roses are scarce and of 

 poor quality. Sweet peas are plentiful 

 and some of the growers have some ex- 

 ceptionally good ones. 



Annual Picnic. 



The florists' annual picnic, held at 

 Dodge park, July 21, was a decided suc- 

 cess in every way and those who were 

 not there missed a big time. Two spe- 

 cial cars were nearly filled and many 

 more went in private conveyances. It 

 was estimated that there were 200 pres- 

 ent. The ladies took well filled baskets 

 and the society furnished tea, coffee, 

 milk and ice cream, so that everyone 

 had more than enough to eat. A little 

 shower after dinner cleared rm tka at-

 all sorts of races were held and valuable 

 prizes were given to the winners. 



The tug of war by the retailers and 

 the growers was won by the retailers, 

 though they were handicapped by many 

 pounds. Then there were jumping con- 

 tests and field events and other amuse- 

 ments, so that everyone had a chance 

 to become famous. It was a big day 

 and everyone enjoyed going.
