dropping down a 1^/4 -inch pipe to con- 

 nect with the two coils for the west end 

 of the house. Then continue the main 

 as I'/i-inch and connect it with the 

 coils under the valley beds. Valves 

 should be provided to cut off the entire 

 coils, as well as one of the individual 

 pipes in each coil. 



SEATTLE NOTES.

cially true of short-stemmed stock 

 which can be used in corsage work. 



Orchids are still short as to cut, and 

 the retailers are drawing on the Cali- 

 fornia and Portland growers for their 

 stock. Lily of the valley is only aver- 

 age, both for quantity and quality. A 

 novelty in this division last week was 

 the first cut of English primroses. 

 These blooms were used freely in cor- 

 sage work. 



Various Notes. 



Theodore Hanline, of New York, a 

 cousin of Ray G. Slicker, northwest rep- 

 resentative of the A. L. Randall Co., 

 has been visiting in Seattle during the 

 last week. 



The Hollywood Gardens developed a 

 luncheon centerpiece last week which 

 elicited favorable comment. It was 

 a 4-foot model of the steamship Im- 

 perator. This shop is preparing special 

 wooden boxes for Easter lilies, the 

 boxes being painted a blue-gray shade, 

 sanded and carrying stenciled patterns 

 in relative colors. 



A change in the firm name of Melby 

 & Allen is noted and henceforth this 

 shop will be known as the Pinehurst 

 Floral Shop. Francis A. Allen continues 

 as president and there are no changes 

 in the other elective officials. Carl 

 Melby remains with the sliop as sales 

 manager. This shop is arranging for 

 larger sjjace to oare for its increasing 

 business. 



Stuber & Richardson have been show- 

 ing some Murillo tulips, and the local 

 trade easily absorbs all of this new 

 offering. This is the first season this 

 ])articular variety has been grown here 

 and it bids fair to become one of the 

 most jiopular. 



The Orplionm Floral Co. showed the 

 first cut of Easter lilies for this season. 



The Burns Floral Co. supplied the 

 wreaths used at the Washington monu- 

 ment celebration by the Mexican, 

 Bolivian and Chilean consuls. Sylves- 

 ter Muecci, of this firm, is attracting 

 notice as the latest local florist to break 

 into the movies, new weeklies of the 

 monument ceremony showing him prom- 

 inently. 



Rosaia Bros, are bringing in from the 

 greenhouses some attractive Japanese 

 azalea plants in tubs and the first cut 

 English primroses seen here this year. 



Consider the Lining 



The finest furnace in the world is an economical failure 

 unless its lining is built to withstand fire's fury.

will withstand temperatures up to 3100 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a 

 plastic refractory, pounded into shape with a mallet and smoothed with a trowel. 

 Being jointless. no clinkers can adhere, and there is no mortar to 

 fall out, therefore disintegration cannot start. 



No costly repairs, no shutdowns, for the furnace lined with PLIBRICO.

What Prominent Growers Think 

 About the Standard Recording Thermometer 



Erie, Pa., Dec. 16, 1919. 

 "Please send us another of those ther- 

 mometer clocks, just like the one you 

 sent us about two weeks ago. We 

 would never be without one again."

The actuating element of the Standard Record- 

 inK Thermometer is of lamina metal, which, be- 

 sides being extremely sensitive to temperature 

 changes, is practically indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily nr weekly, and 

 the whole mechanism is contained in an attra tive 

 metal case fitted with lock and key, which insures 

 the record from being tampered with. 



The clock movement is of extremely high grs^e; 

 everything about the instrun entisup to the high- 

 est possible standard of manufacture.

This last week has been large from 

 the standpoint of funeral work, there 

 being three cases where enough flowers 

 were used to have made any one of 

 them a feature in other weeks. Ken- 

 ney's Home of Flowers handled the 



church and parlor decorations for a 

 local undertaking firm, this being the 

 largest. 



One of the most elaborate shop deco- 

 rations of the week was handled by 

 L. W. McCoy, using pink and red tulips.
