SEATTLE NOTES.

the staff of tliis shop and will handle a 

 considerable share of the window 

 decorations. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. has been 

 making a window showing of hanging 

 baskets containing potted ferns and 

 spring flowers, and reports so good a 

 sale that a special order has been placed 

 with one of the eastern manufacturers 

 for more baskets of unusual designs. 



Irving Harris, until recently with the 

 Woodlawn Flower Shop, has joined the 

 staff of Eosaia Bros. This firm handled 

 another elaborate wedding decoration 

 last week combining orchids, lily of 

 the valley, Columbia roses and Cali- 

 fornia acacia. Heavy cuts of Ophelia 

 roses are coming in from the greenhouse 

 at this time. 



Melby & Allen note a good general 

 increase in business, with funeral work 

 and social decorations making up the 

 greater share of the increase. There 

 has been a nice transient demand for 

 cut spring flowers. 



The Burns Floral Co. produced an at- 

 tractive window last week through the 

 use of double daffodils and some color- 

 ful examples of potted cinerarias. A 

 good increase in telegraph business over 

 the same month last year is reported, 

 •especially on incoming orders. 



Fred Gust, who represents the Mc- 

 Callum Co. in this territory, has left 

 on his trip to cover the north Pacific 

 coast territory. Before he started a 

 special showing was made of his lines 

 in the Western avenue and Blanchard 

 street showroows, which drew many 

 favorable comments from members of 

 the local trade. The artificial lines 

 were especially worthy of comment. 



Gus Peterson, of the Woodlawn Flower 

 Shop, has gone on his regular "post- 

 holiday spring vacation" of a week. 



McCoy's liavo been making a special- 

 ty of small baskets of spring offerings, 

 which are placed well to the front of 

 tile display space, and have also been 

 able to handle more carnations and 

 roses from their own greenhouses. 



Kenney's Home of Flowers handled 

 several large commissions in connection 

 with the funeral last week of three 

 Seattle police officers who were shot, and 

 also rejjorts n good general run of busi- 

 ness. H. ^I.

This is one of several popular widths of Callahan Cut-to-Fit 

 Greenhonses. 



It is convenient, roomy and very economical, both in first

 practical range. 



It is semi-iron construction with all the many little features 

 that make Callahan greenhouses just a little bit more satis-
