 determine the assessment of the grow- 

 ers and retailers. The funds so secured 

 will be expended in local advertising as 

 the members of the committee shall see 

 fit. Some small changes in the original 

 plans, aimed to simplify matters for 

 both retailers and growers, were made. 

 H. B. Mills was named as secretary. 



Late visitors included W. Wallmark, 

 of the City Floral & Seed Co., Everett, 

 Wash., and John J. Sullivan, St. Paul, 

 Minn. Mr. Sullivan has, for the last 

 twenty-two years, been connected with 

 L. L. May & Co., of St. Paul, but ex- 

 pects to make his future place of resi- 

 dence in the Pacific northwest. 



P. F. Rosaia, of Rosaia Bros., is on 

 his way down the Pacific coast, plan- 

 ning to drive on through to California. 

 He is on a combined business and pleas- 

 ure trip. Some fine Ulrich Brunner and 

 Ward roses are being cut at the green- 

 houses and an increase in the crop of 

 Butterfly is scheduled. A number of 

 good-sized decorations have been han- 

 dled lately, and an increase is seen in 

 the number of weddings. 



The City Flower Shop showed the first 

 of the new outdoor bachelor's buttons 

 and cornflowers last week, this stock be- 

 ing grown by Charles Holm. An in- 

 crease in the number of weddings is re- 

 ported, including some for nearby 

 smaller cities. 



J. F. Ammann and Hilmer V. Swen- 

 son were week-end visitors to Victoria 

 and Vancouver before continuing their 

 journey to cover other Pacific coast 

 cities. Both express satisfaction at 

 the manner in which the florists of the 

 various sections visited have taken hold 

 of the organization idea. 



Ted Webb, for several years con- 

 nected with Rosaia Bros., has resigned 

 his position and is planning for an ex- 

 tended vacation. He will first spend 

 some time in the Yellowstone National 

 park and thou jilaus to go on to South 

 Dakota. 



Mr. Rainage, of the Pinehurst Floral 

 Shop, who has been confined to his 

 home recentlj' by an infected finger, is 

 again able to be at work. The first of 

 the local-grown American Beauties for 

 this season were shown by tliis shop, 

 these being grown by P. Aeiries. 

 Potted heliotro]ie in a limited amount 

 has been offered here of late and it has 

 proved an effective novelty. 



An attractive window was developed 

 by the Woodlawn Flower Shop tlirough 

 the use of a rustic mill in miniature, 

 with the stream of water running over 

 the wheel and down the spillway, form- 

 ing a pool in which ducklings were 

 swimming about. Boughs, sweet peas 

 and greens completed this window deco- 

 ration. This shop handled the work in

A True Story.

March 17th 

 We use HABOCOITD'S SZiUa 

 SHOT on Currant Bushes In 

 the Spring- before the leaves are 

 K^ started. We put it on around 

 1^ . the roots and have done it for 

 two years, and find that the 

 worms are killed before they 

 get on the bush. For potatoes 

 we put on SI^UG' SHOT as soon 

 as the bugs come, and we have 

 good vines, plenty of tubers 

 and no bugs. It is the best 

 thing we have ever used. Per 

 Sow Bngra In greenhouseB It is snre death. We had a lot of tbem before usiiiK 

 S^IJO' SHOT but they got out where it is used.

Slug Shot for Sow Bugs. 



It !■ with grreat pleasure each week I read your valued paper, and I like to 

 give a helping hand when Z can. I do not wisli to say anythingr agralust tbe 

 use of Paris green and sugar, or bran, or any other material, for I know these 

 are all good to kill bugs, such as wood lice (sow bngv), etc. But Z would like 

 to state, as Z have done formerly, for the benefit of anyone bothered with sow 

 bugn that Z have thorotighly cleared my greenhouses of this pest by dusting' 

 freely with HAMMOND'S S:LUa SHOT, spreading it well In the walks, under 

 the benches, along the side walls and between the plants, using about 20 lbs. 

 to a 20 ft. z 100 ft. house. This Slug Shot will not injture Carnation plants. Z 

 hope that this recital of my experience will be of help to others in trouble 

 and especially recommend its use as it is not dangerous to human life as is 

 Paris green.

Most of the retail shops in Seattle 

 closed shortly after noon Memorial day 

 proper, so as to }jive their employees a 

 chaiioe to enjoy the holiday as much as 

 possible. 



.\n increase in the crop of local violas 

 is reported at Kenney's Home of Flow- 



ers, where there has been a nice run of 

 wedding decorations recently. There 

 have been some fine peonies cut, both in 

 pink and white, and also some excellent 

 yellow snapdragon. The latter stock 

 has been sent in by Frank Bell. 



The Hollywood Gardens report a 

 heavy cut of gladioli and snapdragons, 

 and from present indications will show 

 as heavy a general production of sum-
