the percentage plan now eflfective in 

 Chicago and other cities. It was enthu- 

 siastically received, and a resolution for 

 its adoption here was carried unani- 

 mously. A committee of nine, three 

 from each branch of the industry, was 

 selected to carry out organization plans. 

 The committee appointed was as fol- 

 lows: Growers, H. Plath, E. James and 

 V. Ferrari; wholesalers, J. A. Axell, E. 

 W. McLellan and Charles C. Navlet; re- 

 tailers, A. J. Rossi, C. W. Brown and 

 P. V. Matraia. Wednesday, June 8, the 

 visitors were guests of the local trade 

 at a banquet at the Cliff House. 



Messrs. Ammann and Swenson have 

 stopped in Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma 

 and Portland, where an organization was 

 affected at each place. With San Fran- 

 cisco signed up now, and confidence that 

 Los Angeles, their next stop, would fall 

 into line, Mr. Swenson, upon leaving 

 here, expressed great satisfaction over 

 the prospect of having the Pacific coast 

 organized 100 per cent, which would 

 place it ahead of any other section of 

 the country. Mr. Ammann was met in 

 San Francisco by Mrs. Ammann. They 

 proceeded south ahead of Mr. Swenson, 

 but both had their travels timed so that 

 they would be in Los Angeles for a 

 meeting Monday night, June 13. 



Various Notes. 



San Francisco will soon have another 

 retail florist's establishment open for 

 business. The place in question is sit- 

 uated at 190 Geary street, just off 

 Stockton, and will be known as the 

 Paris Floral Co. The proprietor is J. 

 Lavazollo, formerly with Avansino 

 Bros., in the next block. His store is 

 not large, but is nicely fitted up and 

 conveniently located at a prominent 

 street car transfer point in the down- 

 town shopping district, where condi- 

 tions seem favorable for working up a 

 nice business. 



J. A. Axell is placing on the market a 

 line of fern stands, boxes, baskets, etc., 

 for sale to furniture houses, as well as 

 the florists' trade, but particularly the 

 latter, as he sees no reason why florists, 

 when selling a fern or plant, should not 

 also sell a stand along with it, instead 

 of the patron being obliged to go to a 

 furniture store. These will be manu- 

 factured here in a wide assortment of 

 styles and finishes, including antique 

 ivory, frosted brown and different 

 shades of green and gold. Mr. Axell 

 made his first shipment of Statice lati- 

 folia to the east last week. The limited 

 amount sent east last year proved pop- 

 ular for taking the place of greens when 

 they are scarce. This is dried and, when 

 florists get ready to use it, they dip it 

 in hot water and it is said to fluff up, 

 just as it does when first cut. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. has 

 contracted with a large grower for three 

 kinds of strawflowers to be produced on 

 an extensive scale for the next seven 

 years. M. M.

The Market. 



Business for the Seattle florists has 

 been only normally active of late, but 

 stock deliveries have been such that 

 this has been the cause. Business for 

 Memorial day failed to reach a total 

 which would establish the day as one 

 of the leading floral holidays, but it was 

 spread over a three-day period and the 

 sales for the entire period were over the 

 average for the same three days of pre-
