shipping large orders of holly and cedar 

 moss to points as far east as tlie Mis- 

 sissippi river. 



The Woodlawn Flower Shop has been 

 busy with store decorations. This and 

 funeral work resulted in overtime work 

 for the staff nearly every night last 

 week. Harry Crouch and E. W. Clark, 

 of this shoi), were on buying trips the 

 greater part of last week. 



One large wedding and several deco- 

 rations were reported last week at Ken- 

 ney's Home of Flowers, and the in- 

 creased social ;Hti\ities are helping to 

 keep business uji. 



The Hollywood hardens have been 

 enjoying gdod business and there has 

 been a demand for the novelties worked 

 out for tlie holiday season at this shop. 

 Potted orange trees are again being 

 shown at lliis store, with good results, 

 and it is expected that their own green- 

 houses will supply all the poinsettias 

 needed for this holiday. 



It has been suggested that Seattle 

 offers a chance for the secretary of the 

 S. A. F. in protecting the trade slogan, 

 "Say It with Flowers." A local baker 

 has for the last few weeks been fea- 

 turing in his advertising the phrase, 

 "Say It with Fruit Cake— It Lasts 

 Longer, ' ' and last week a furniture 

 house in the university district branched 

 out with • ' Sav It with Wall Paper — 

 Why Not?'" 



A fine sale of potted offerings and 

 holly wreaths to transient trade is re- 

 ported by Melby & Allen, and this shop 

 also notes an increase in the sale of cut 

 flowers. The entire work of decorating 

 the recently opened Queen City market 

 for the holi<lays was handled by this 

 firm. 



Advices from Hood River, Ore., to the 

 trade say that Charles T. Rawson, for- 

 merly associated in the nursery business 

 there with Frank Stanton and since re- 

 tired, has secured a location in the upper 

 valley and will reenter the nursery busi- 

 ness. 



The sailing, last week, of the final 

 Oriental liner to get its passengers 

 on the other side before New Year's 

 day was the occasion of some fine or- 

 ders. Not the least interesting part of 

 this business was the sale, through the 

 port steward, of a number of potted 

 plants to be used in brightening the 

 Christmas festivities at sea. H. Mv
