week and has many orders for Thanks- 

 giving, with three booked already for 

 Cliristmas. Quaint painted dolls, called 

 "Yaz-Zak" dolls, are a novelty which 

 Josepli 's is featuring. The woman art- 

 ist who designed and is copyrighting 

 them wanted to devise something abso- 

 lutely new. The material of which they 

 are made looks like fine lawn drawn over 

 fiber, but is really kelp, fished out of the 

 ocean. 



Bulbs are featured this week by the 

 MacRorie-McLaren Co. The firm im- 

 ported a large consignment from Hol- 

 land and reports a big demand. The 

 landscape department of this firm is 

 rushed with contracts for laying out 

 ornamental gardens for beautiful new 

 homes in various parts of the state, 

 including Santa Barbara, Fresno and 

 Los Angeles. 



Autumn tints in flowers and baskets 

 have been featured so much by Podesta 

 & Raldrtcclii that a rusliing trade is re- 

 ported by the firm in baskets and deco- 

 rations of tliis sort. Tithonias seem to 

 be prime favorites to combine with tlio 

 pale yellows of Santa Barbara poppies 

 iiid tlie endless variety of ])omi)Oii iimiiis.

The Market. 



Business last week showed a gener- 

 ally good average, with enough funeral 

 work to keep the market clear of all 

 lines cxoe])t local mums. California 

 shipments arc still arriving, but the cuts 

 from local gardens have been arriving 

 so abundantly that there lias really been 

 an oversupply of the smaller types of 

 mums. This led to somewhat lower 

 prices, the only ease where a notable 

 change in the selling list was seen for 

 the entire week. 



Some of the finest Bonnaffon ever 

 shown here are on the market now. 

 Local Turner is also of good quality. 

 Mums and roses are the leading sellers, 

 although carnations continue the most 

 desired flowers in the market. Tli" Ineal 

 crop of carnations has not develojied as 

 ex]ief1(Ml and each day the growers are 

 unable to fill orders. 



There is going to be a heavy demand 

 for yellow and white mums of the larger 

 sizes the last week of this month, when 

 the University of Washington will f(»r- 

 mally open its new concrete stadium.
