Floral Co. here, has started in business 

 for himself in a small store at Loa 

 Angeles. 



John Holze, of the Queen City Floral 

 Co., sent in the first tulips of the sea- 

 son and reports a splendid crop in pros- 

 pect. He is also showing some fine 

 potted ferns and reports a ready sale 

 of these at the firm's retail store. 



Fred Linegar is now with the sales 

 force of the Burns Floral Co. and will 

 fill in during the holiday season. His 

 brother, Bert Linegar, reports an in- 

 crease in decorations for the last fort- 

 night. This firm is still receiving some 

 of the finest large mums on the market. 



H. H. Peterson, of the Everett Floral 

 Co., Everett, Wash., was a street visitor 

 last week and reported prospects for 

 the best holiday season yet at Everett. 

 The growers in that section arc entirely 

 cleaned up and he found it difiicult to 

 secure enough stock in several lines 

 from the local growers. 



Florists of Seattle last week received 

 formal notice of the marriage of Pat- 

 rick W. Lee, of Vancouver, Wash., and 

 Miss Anna J. Burns, former owner of 

 the Burns Floral Co., at Immaculate 

 Conception church, the latter part of 

 November. The groom's brother acted 

 as best man, while Miss Betty Kyan was 

 bridesmaid. 



L. W. McCoy has been showing a nov- 

 elty corner alcove in his window, which 

 has attracted considerable attention. A 

 cardboard reproduction of a bright-col- 

 ored parrakeet seated in a ring hung 

 across the front, while a bright-colored 

 basket was set in the alcove. 



Guy French, representing the Ameri- 

 can Bulb Co., Chicago, called on the 

 trade last week. 



The Beall Greenhouse Co., at Vashon 

 Island, Wash., is adding a new green- 

 house to its range, a unit 40x200 feet, 

 which will be ready with roses for next 

 fall. This firm sent in the first cut free- 

 sias of the new season. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. has doubled 

 its sales force to care for the holiday 

 business and reports a splendid call for 

 both flowers and foliage in small, bright- 

 colored baskets. 



Kosaia Bros, are showing some of the 

 finest pink poinsettias ever seen in this 

 market, and this flower in combination 

 with the red blooms is made into some 

 effective baskets and crates. A large 

 cut of orchids between now and Christ- 

 mas is promised from the greenhouses, 

 and the same fine showing of cyclamens 

 is reported. 



The Seattle Fern & Moss Co. has been
