dria September 23 and 24. Frank D. 

 Pelicano, of Pelicano, Eossi & Co., at- 

 tended to the packing and shipping. 



Now that passenger traffic with the 

 Orient is opening up more extensively, 

 the farewells said with flowers are as- 

 suming quite profitable proportions to 

 local florists. Podesta & Baldocchi stat- 

 ed last week that steamer baskets of 

 flowers and bridal bouquets are keeping 

 them busy. David Lichtenstein, the 

 Terminal Florist, on the Embarcadero, 

 said: "There is much travel on outgo- 

 ing steamers to the Orient and the de- 

 mand is large for baskets and bouquets 

 for outgoing passengers." 



"Everybody seems to be jubilant," 

 said J. A. Axell. "We have a boun- 

 teous cut of roses now, particularly Co- 

 lumbia, Ophelia and Bussell. We are 

 shipping mums and roses every day, 

 with the largest quantities going by the 

 refrigerator car on Friday." 



At the store of the E. W. McLellan 

 Co., where packers were putting mums 

 and roses in boxes for immediate ship- 

 ment, the report was: "All varieties of 

 mums are now coming in and we are 

 shipping them daily by express, as well 

 as some roses. On Friday the shipments 

 are unusually heavy. Our winter rose 

 crop will begin coming in soon." 



General A. J. Gooch has had a number 

 of orders for violets already and he is 

 making experimental shipments as far 

 as Vancouver, B. C, and Tacoma, Wash. 

 He is trying mum shipments to Texas 

 by ordinary express, as a number of 

 orders are immediate and there is only 

 one refrigerator car a week. 



Progress in the shipping business is 

 reported by F. C. Jaeger & Son. This 

 firm has sent mums by express as far as 

 Chicago with success and also to Loui- 

 siana. 



Enomoto & Co. are receiving consider- 

 able consignments of mats and friezes 



[Concluded on paire 122.] 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



There has been a satisfactory im- 

 provement in the amount of business re- 

 ported for last week, with all of the 

 trade sharing in this increase, while 

 prices have been, on the whole, without 

 change. There has been more or less 

 rain to interfere with the quality of out- 

 door flowers; this is specially seen in the 

 shorter-stemmed gladioli, the more 

 easily blown asters and the poor-keep- 

 ing cosmos. 



The more colorful flowers have been 

 catching the buyer's eye lately, and 

 everj firm reports a splendid sale of Ibas- 



Mums! 



Chrysolora, Oconto, Unaka, Calumet and other 



varieties and Pompons are at 



their best now.
