greenhouses of Joe Koida found his vio- 

 lets blooming in fine condition outdoors. 

 The blooms are large, with long stems 

 and good fragrance. The chrysanthe- 

 mums are as fine as any we have seen; 

 the principal varieties are: Mrs. J. Gib- 

 son, large pink; Powerth, lavender, and 

 Wm. Rigby, yellow. 



Martin & Forbes are showing a quan- 

 tity of sweet peas which are good for 

 the first showing. They also have a 

 fine lot of orchids. Their window dis- 

 play attracts a great deal of attention.

TACOMA, WASH. 



The Market. 



Stock has been scarce for Thanks- 

 giving. The warm weather of the last 

 two weeks, with an outdoor night tem- 

 perature of 56 and 58 degrees, helped 

 to weaken mums and carnations. Local 

 mums are coming in, but not enough to 

 supply the trade and California ship- 



ments continue daily, with fairly good 

 stock. 



Various Notes. 



The big Shriners' ball at the state 

 armory Tuesday night, November 18, 

 and the entertainment of the Prince of 

 Wales Wednesday at the Country Club 

 called for hundreds of roses and chrys- 

 anthemums. 



Nearly all downtown stores had fu- 

 neral work for the soldiers killed at Cen- 

 tralia, Wash., by the I. W. W. The 

 mothers of members of the coast artil- 

 lery of this city sent several large 

 pieces. 



The Smith Floral Co., on Broadway, 

 is altering its store. Business at this 

 store is good and stock is cleaned up 

 every night. Fred Smith took a trip 

 over to Seattle last week to see some 

 of his friends in the trade. 



Jos. W. Milton has returned from his 

 trip to California and reports a fine 

 time, having been well looked after by 



florists in San Francisco and Los An- 

 geles. 



C. Malmo, of the Malmo Nursery Co., 

 Seattle, Wash., was in Tacoma last week 

 on business and reports a good business 

 in nursery stock, bulbs and seeds.

SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



The sale of cut flowers seemed to lag 

 during the first part of last week, 

 though the funeral work was fairly 

 heavy. Wednesday, however, the de- 

 mand for floral pieces was unusually 

 heavy, the bulk of which was shipped 

 to Centralia, Wash., for the funerals of 

 the soldiers who died at the hands of the 

 I. W. W. during a raid on the hall of that 

 organization on Armistice day. Stock 

 is plentiful. Local mums are exception- 

 ally fine and there seems to be plenty 

 for all. Carnations greatly improved
