WE CLOSE SUNDAYS 



far in July. J. Gordon ia still away 

 from his post. 



Manager M. H. McKiernan, of the 

 American Florists' Exchange, made a 

 good showing with flags and other deco- 

 rations to welcome the Elks. 



Mrs. Shewbrook, head bookkeeper at 

 the store of S. Murata & Co., is away 

 on a well-earned vacation. Among the 

 visitors reported by Mr. Murata are 

 D. E. Law, of Law's Nurseries, Salt 

 Lake City, Utah, and E. P. Vassar, of 

 Kemble's, Ottumwa, la. Mr. Murata 

 has secured the orders for the flowers 

 for decorating several of the floats 

 entered in the flower parade. He re- 

 ports shipping business as good. 



Using a fine pair of elk's horns as a 

 centerpiece, the Alexandria put up a 

 fine decoration for 125 members of the 

 B. P. 0. E., at their banquet last week. 

 George Eischen, manager here, says 

 July, so far, has an edge on June for 

 business. 



The E. C. Amling Co. reports good 

 shipments of asters to points in Texas 

 and to New Orleans. 



C. E. Morton, of Phoenix, Ariz., was 

 in the city last week. Mrs. Morton 

 had gone to Chicago. 



Progress is rapid with the new green- 

 houses of W. Armacost & Co. The roses 

 have all been planted in the benches. 

 At the store, the staff is still incom- 

 plete, owing to vacations. 



The California Floral Co. reports an 

 increased demand, both locally and for 

 shipping. H. R. R. 



SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



General floral business showed no 

 signs of any real change during the last 

 week, with the exception of a rush of 

 funeral work at the close. 



New offerings for the week were the 

 first 1921 asters and zinnias and the 

 first showing of outdoor gladioli in 

 quantity. Calendulas, delphinium, Can- 

 terbury bells, iris and columbine form 

 the long-stemmed seasonal offering and 

 have been meeting with a ready sale. 

 There has been no sign of any let-up in 

 the demand for snapdragon, especially 

 in the lighter shades, and the supply 

 has been slackening up. The dahlia is 

 not yet a commercial factor, although 

 a visit to growers' establishments 

 shows that this flower is coming along 

 rapidly. Rubrum lilies are another 

 offering which can be figured as a mar- 

 ket factor soon. 



The cut of Ulrich Brunner roses is 

 still more than large enough to care
