but that the store trade is holding up 

 unusually well this summer. Patrick 

 Orr has extended his month's absence 

 to six weeks, which will bring him back 

 August 15. After visiting Auburn and 

 Oroville, he is now at Lake Tahoe. 

 Norman Marcus is back on duty, after a 

 pleasant outing at Santa Cruz. A. Men- 

 dosa is in Mendocino county and H. J. 

 Hefty expects to leave shortly for 

 Portland, Ore., on his vacation. 



Mark Ebel, Sacramento, Cal., had an 

 unfortunate experience with a recently 

 purchased automobile. It is stated that 

 he bought a new Dodge car and en- 

 listed the services of a delivery boy to 

 teach him to drive it. He stopped at a 

 hotel for dinner and told the boy he 

 could dine at the same time, but when 

 he finished there was no boy and no 

 automobile. 



F. C. Jaeger, of F. C. Jaeger & Son, 

 is to be sworn in next week as a mem- 

 ber of the grand jury for the city and 

 county of San Francisco, which means 

 that he will be subject to jury duty for 

 the ensuing year. He is enthusiastic 

 about the hunting expedition on which 

 he leaves in a few days. His party is 

 going to Shelter Cove and from there 

 into the Eel river country. 



The Art Floral Co. was quite busy 

 last week with a large wedding decora- 

 tion at the Fairmont hotel, a large 

 amount of funeral work and fairly 

 active store trade. 



J. A. Axell considers the help prob- 

 lem one of the most serious questions 

 confronting florists, both wholesale and 

 retail. It seems to him that fewer 

 young men are learning this business 

 each year, and he thinks something 

 should be done to attract their atten- 

 tion and make the industry appeal more 

 strongly to youths just starting to make 

 their way in the world. M. M. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



Dull trading throughout the week was 

 the general rule in the Seattle market 

 and the scarcity of stock failed to bring 

 any trade inconvenience. There has 

 been enough funeral work to keep the 

 floors well cleared of stock. 



In direct contrast with the week pre- 

 vious, gladioli have been rather plenti- 

 ful and in quality they are equal to 

 anything yet seen this season. The

warm weather has advanced all outdoor 

 crops. Everything has kept well except 

 roses and carnations. Asters are about 

 at the height of their season and have 

 been popular; the dark shades are being 

 combined freely with calendulas and 

 snapdragon.

There has been a small cut in the 

 wholesale price of water lilies and good- 

 sized sales of them have been reported. 

 Most of the smaller baskets and funeral 

 wreaths sent out contain a few Lilium
