ment the railing of the new mezzanine 

 floor of the Charles C. Navlet Co. This 

 floor is largely to be devoted to seeds 

 and the panels are designed to illustrate 

 some of the seeds in stock, something 

 in the manner of a catalogue. 



A tea with forty tables, decorated in 

 spring flowers, was one of the week's so- 

 cial decorations carried out by Julius 

 Eppstein, of the St. Francis hotel. The 

 Fine Arts Institute gave the affair.

ADVERTISE OAKLAND TRADE. 



The Oakland, Cal., Tribune for Febru-

 ing members of the allied trades, flo- 

 rists, seedsmen and nurserymen. Among 

 those who contributed articles to this 

 excellent bit of advertising were Wal- 

 ter L. Bates, manager of the Tennyson

PORTLAND, ORE. 



St. Valentine's day this year found 

 all the stores well prepared for a bumper 

 business and no one was disappointed, 

 as it was from all reports the best one 

 the Portland florists ever had. Every- 

 one sold out on cut flowers and jiotted 

 plants and, though there was much bulb- 

 ous stock on the market, tlie growers 

 should feel gratified at the ease with 

 which they disjiosed of their surplus. 

 No doubt the advertisement which the 

 Oregon Florists' Club ran in the local 

 papers had much to do with reminding 

 the public of St. Valentine 's day and in 

 stimulating business. Orders "^ started 

 coming in Friday, February 11, and by 

 Saturday night, February 12, it wa"s 

 easy to see that the regular delivery 

 force would not be able to handle all the 

 orders. 



There is nothing new to offer in the 

 way of stock, as tlie rains continue and, 

 of course, the stock shows the effects of 

 it. Carnations are still a little weak, 

 but valley, orchids aiul sweet peas are 

 plentiful. 



"Best St. X'alentine's day we ever 

 had," reports H. Niklas. "Our deliv- 

 eries were heavy, makiiig it necessary 

 to add another automobile." 



Martin & Forbes Co. were busy Sat- 

 urday, February 12, not only with val- 

 entine business, but also the Rumelin 

 wedding. The bride's bouquet was 

 elaborate, being made of lilies of the 

 valley, orchids and freesias. The brides- 

 maid carried pink sweet jieas and the 

 decoration at tlie home was a color 

 scheme in yellow. 



In the windows of Clnrk(^ Bros, were 

 many well tilled flower baskets for St. 

 Valentine's dny. These were easily dis- 

 posed of; in fact, by evening every- 

 thing was sold out. 



Tonseth Floral Co. had a large heart 

 in its window made of red cnjie flowers 

 and this, with a fine showing of red 

 tulips, made ;in attrnetive dis])lny.
