The Market. 



A shorter cut of roses is probably the 

 only notable development to report for 

 last week, so far as stock was concerned, 

 while business ran along as usual. There 

 w^re a few more social decorations, but 

 less funeral work. 



The local growers are now offering 

 mums in such quantities as to really 

 produce an oversupply on the market, 

 and both wholesale and retail prices 

 have been cut as a tesult. The Japanese 

 growers' crop of mums is at its height. 

 The quality of the mums is everything 

 that could be desired. 



Columbia is the leading rose. Russell, 

 Premier and Butterfly are also popular 

 and the trade finds it difficult to keep a 

 large enough supply of Brunner roses 

 on hand. The popularity of small cor- 

 sages of Brunner roses and violets is, 

 undoubtedly, the reason for this. 



A little improvement may be reported 

 in the carnation supply, but there is 

 still too small a cut to care for the trade 

 needs. One large retailer has been 

 drawing on California entirely for the 

 last three weeks. California is also be- 

 ing used as the chief source of the vio- 

 let supply. 



Orchids are a little more plentiful. 

 Lily of the valley is short and gardenias 

 clean up as fast as offered. 



Potted offerings prespjit no new- fea- 

 tures. Pompons in small pots are still 

 the newest offering and by virtue of 

 this are probably featured more than 

 any plant outside of ferns. The latter 

 continue to be big sellers, especially 

 those sizes which can be retailed at less 

 than $1.50. Cyclamens are improving in 

 quality, but arc still too high to be pop- 

 ular. 



Various Notes. 



Seattle's newest retail flower shop 

 was opened November 1.3 at 325 Pine 

 afreet by Carl Melby and F. A. Allen. 

 While the store is not large, practically 

 the entire front of the shop can be used 

 for display purposes. It has a 16-foot 

 window. White and cream enameled 

 stands are used throughout the shop. 

 The woodwork is entirely in white and 

 light tan has been used on the walls.
