window displays, no doubt, influenced 

 the ])ublic to buy. Tlie near approach 

 of Mothers' day had some effect, but 

 the greater part of the sales was for 

 {ijoneral use. Shipping orders were un- 

 usually heavy. Although the weather 

 has turned more springlike, bedding 

 stock is moving slowly. 



Various Notes. 



Niklas & Son have installed a re- 

 frigerator in the main room of their 

 store. This will add to the convenience 

 and attractiveness of their salesroom. 



Fj. E. Chappell is receiving some good 

 sweet peas from an outside grower. He 

 finds no trouble in wholesaling his sur- 

 plus supply. 



Some of the department stores have 

 had special sales of perennials at 

 greatly reduced prices. 



George Zimmerman has sold his in- 

 terest in the business of Zimmerman 

 Bros, to his brother, John, and has left 

 Portland. 



Clarke Bros, are cutting some fine 

 Darwin tulips, outdoor grown, at their 

 city establishment. 



Cut gladioli have appeared. 



S. W. W. 



BELLINGHAM, WASH. 



Tourists from throughout the north- 

 west visited the bulb gardens Sunday, 

 May 6. A number of growers from 

 Seattle and vicinity took advantage of 

 the good weather and motored to the 

 city. 



Now that the violet season is over, 

 local dealers can see where home-grown 

 stock is going to figure somewhat in 

 the demand. While the price for the 

 local is higher than the California 

 blooms, the demand is increasing. John 

 W. Macrae Smith is preparing to in- 

 crease considerably the production of 

 violets at his greenhouses near this 

 city. 



The "plant a patch" hysteria has 

 not diminished the flower garden acre- 

 age noticeably and the demand for bed- 

 ding stock is up to expectations. Gar- 

 deners are in demand, local stores hav- 

 ing many calls, but no men are avail- 

 able. 



Manager Thomas has nearly finished 

 an addition to the greenhouse at the 

 Pacific American Fisheries plant and 

 soon will be ready to stock it. The 

 company maintains a private green- 

 house only and does not sell to the 

 trade. 



Superintendent Gibson says the work 

 of beautifying the city parks will be 

 somewhat hampered from lack of funds, 

 but that the parks will not be allowed 

 to suffer. 



Mr. Case and not Mr. Barnett, as 

 previously reported, has taken a posi- 

 tion with the Horst Floral Co. 



At a meeting of society directors, it 

 was decided to hold a rose show as 

 usual this year, probably the last part 

 of ,Tune. 



Mr. Chenoweth, of the Mt. "Vernon 

 Nurseries, expects much of one or two 

 new roses he is producing this season. 



Mr. Stoudden, of Anacortes, con- 

 templates the erection on a downtown 

 corner of a new greenhouse with a re- 

 tail store in connection. 



The Lynden Nurseries, of Lynden, 

 Wash., have opened a store in this city. 

 C. F. A. 



Seattle, Wash.— F. W. Gust, trustee 

 for Rosaia Bros., Inc., bankrupt, has 

 paid a first dividend of fifteen per cent 

 to the creditors. 



Keep Your 

 Flowers Fresh 



Don't let them wither and spoil 

 before you have had a chance to sell 

 them. Wipe out this loss and in- 

 crease your profits. 



You can do it if you have the 

 proper means of preservation and 

 refrigeration. 



Florist 

 Refrigerators 



will keep your flowers fresh and 

 attractive. The McCray patented 

 system of refrigeration keeps flow- 

 ers at just the right temperature 

 all of the time. They are always 

 fresh, cool and salable. 



Its beautiful plate glass doors 

 and sides and its inviting arrange- 

 ment provide for most attractive 

 display. 



The linings come in either heavy 

 plate mirror or white enamel. The 

 woodwork may be finished to match 

 the decorations of your store.
