The Charles C. Navlet Co. began 

 booking Mothers' day orders unusually 

 early this year. 



Brown & Kennedy say that funeral 

 work, Mothers' day orders and tele- 

 graph delivery orders are combining to 

 make May begin with a rush. 



Podesta & Baldocchi report having 

 the decorations for a number of dinners 

 and luncheons. A costly pall which 

 they recently made contained 100 

 dozen lilies of the valley, combined 

 with roses. 



Albert O. Stein has been doing a 

 number of decorations for luncheons 

 and teas. Some clever work for a 

 wooden wedding included a bouquet of 

 old-fashioned clothespins and a beauti- 

 ful Japanese tray, to which was tied 

 a graceful bouquet. 



Joseph's, believing that the old- 

 fashioned mother is popular, sent to 

 France for a consignment of the real 

 thing in market baskets, the kind with 

 wicker lids at both sides of the handle. 

 These filled with flowers pleased cus- 

 tomers. A handsome Paisley shawl 

 was used as the background for the 

 Mothers' day display. M. M. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



General sales last week were good, 

 with no outstanding lead noted for 

 either decorations, sales or funeral work 

 in the aggregate total. The weather 

 conditions have been against rapid de- 

 velopment of outdoor stock and this 

 has been a subject of satisfaction to the 

 florists in that it counteracted the light- 

 er transient demand which always comes 

 with bad weather. 



New offerings for the week included 

 the first indoor-grown gladioli of this 

 season, the product of local greenhouses. 

 A heavier cut on lilac, freer arrivals of 

 California iris and gypsophila and an 

 increased cut on local violas were other 

 features. 



Potted stock was still scarce as to 

 quantity and in many cases quality was 

 also hard to find. Hydrangeas were the 

 chief item in popularity with the buyers 

 and also in heaviest supply. There has 

 been some increase in the deliveries of 

 primroses and fuchsias and a few potted 

 wax begonias and daffodils were avail-
