SEATTLE NOTES. 



K'ontliniiMl lioiii i)aBe IVJ.I 



Tlierc lias hccii an increase^ in the de- 

 liveries of valley from local growers, so 

 that the wholesale needs of tlic state of 

 Washington are licing eared for now. 

 Boiivardias are also holding up well. 

 There has been a plentiful sujiply of 

 orchids, with a sales demand large 

 enougli to keep the deliveries well 

 cleaned up. 



Potted offerings were fine sellers all 

 the week, and especially during the 

 early part. Poinsettias were the usual 

 Christmas leaders, and the crop for this 

 section was small enough tliis year so 

 tliat it was practically cleaned uj) when 

 Christmas came. Cyclamens and hya- 

 cinths were good sellers, the latter ap- 

 pealing because of their comparative 

 novelty. 



Fancy baskets were ready sellers 

 when made up to sell at medium i)rices. 

 Blooming lieather was frequently worked 

 into the various combinations. Tlie 

 supply of holly wreaths was well cleaned 

 up insofar as slock carryiiig berries 

 was concerned. There was a nice sale 

 of greens. Cedar roi)ing was also in 

 demand and mistletoe was a profit-pro- 

 ducer for florists who handled it. Sales 

 of artificial offerings for tlie Ciiristmas 

 week were lighter than was the case for 

 the period immediately preceding. 



Various Notes. 



The Woodlawn Flower Sho]) made an 

 especially attractive showing of Hadlcx 

 roses from Califfirnia, and disjiosed of a 

 large stock of these at good prices. A 

 special holiday window featuring orange 

 trees, poinsettias and cyclamens was ar- 

 ranged, and some of the finest dwarf 

 orange trees ever shown in the north- 

 west were on dis])lay. An especially 

 good last-minute demand for cut flowers 

 was reported by this concern. 



Melby & Allen reporte<l numerous tele- 

 graph orders, and also a nice total on 

 sales wlien it was considered that this 

 was the firm "s first holiday experience. 



Fred Gust, local representative of the 

 McCallum Co., Pittsburgh, is installing a 

 disjday table and racks at the show- 

 rooms, on Western avt'iiue, and reports 

 heavy deliveries of new lines from the 

 factory. lie is planning to hold open 

 house to all northwestern buyers the 

 week before he leaves on his spring trip, 

 which will probably be the third week in 

 January. 



The Thomas Floral Co. is now pro- 

 ducing large (piantities of valley and 

 is also shipping many sweet peas in 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



The highest quality in Chrysanthemums is accorded 

 our products by the majority of Commercial growers. 



A few so-called Exhibition varieties under the best 

 state of cultivation have in a degree Commercial 

 qualities, but such qualities are greatly depleted 

 under conditions slightly adverse. In other words, 

 there is little or no middle ground— they are either 

 good or bad. 



In considering Commercial qualities, the best returns 

 for the labor bestowed designate the varieties most 

 useful to the grower. 



A list of up-to-date varieties comprising new, re- 

 cent introductions, and the best of the older kinds, 

 will be furnished upon request.
