A deal which involves a greater sum 

 ihau any other business transaction in 

 floral circles of the Pacific northwest 

 and, probably, for the entire Pacific 

 •'oast, has been closed by the Wood- 

 liiwn Flower Shop for a lease on new 

 Mi'.'irters at a consideration of $.'?00,00n. 

 •■"•'I' a period starting in February of 

 iipxt year, the Woodlawn Flower Shop 

 Will have possession for ten years of 

 the store at Second avenue and Union 

 street, a half block south of its present 

 location, and will be in a position greatly 

 to enlarge its quarters. This marks "a 

 turthor iipward stop in the progress of 

 ^his shop, which Ilarrv Crouch started 

 "> 1911 as a market stall. A year later 

 inartcrs were taken in the Clemmer 

 Theater building, and in 191-7 the busi-

At the latest meeting of the Seattle 

 Horticultural Association, held in the 

 city council chambers, two papers were 



read. One was by Gene .Samlahl. of the 

 Burdett Co., on "Making and Care of 

 Lawns," and the other was on "Bulbous 

 Bedding Plants," by Howard Andrews, 

 a local landscape gardener. 



L. W. McCoy made a special showing 

 of potted fuchsias in the windows of his 

 store and found that these readily at- 

 tracted buyers' interest. The stock of 

 roses being delivered is registering a 

 steady improvement. 



The first of the local iris seen here this 

 season was grown by A. B. Matthiesen
