Mrs. Gooch, wife of the California 

 shipper of flowers, has been calling on 

 the northwestern trade of late. 



The Woodlawn Flower Shop handled 

 two large decorations during the last 

 week. The Coliseum theater was ar- 

 ranged for Marshal Foch's reception 

 with palms, ferns, greens and hampers 

 and baskets of seasonable flowers. For 

 the annual Elks' memorial Sunday, 

 greens were used on the stage of the 

 Metropolitan theater to produce a rustic 

 effect and white mums and mounted 

 elks' heads were added. In addition, 

 more than 1,000 boutonnieres of ivy 

 leaves were prepared. 



The City Flower Shop has handled a 

 number of store decorations of late and 

 is also busy with shipping orders on 

 holiday greens. This was one of the first 

 shops to show potted poinsettias this 

 season. 



The Pinehurst Floral Shop handled the 

 first potted tulips seen on the local mar- 

 ket this season. At a recent bazaar held 

 at the Hotel Washington this shop had 

 the fioral booth and featured Christmas 

 novelty baskets, potted peppers and 

 cyclamens and corsages and bouton- 

 nieres in university colors. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. has been mak- 

 ing a special display of Christmas 

 baskets of dried and artificial flowers, 

 which have sold well. Large quantities 

 of medium-sized mums have also been 

 moved. 



The Woodland Park Floral Co. is send- 

 ing in some fine Whitmanii ferns at the 

 present time and will have a large crop 

 of poinsettias ready for holiday delivery 

 and shipment. 



C. H. Benson is bringing in some flne 

 late mums at this time, large sizes being 

 especially noticeable. H. M. 



SOMETHING FOB NOTHINa. ETC. 



Here 's the story of a reckless retailer 

 who got his stock for nothing, sold it at 

 the regular prices and was put out of 

 business by a sniff of red pepper. This 

 is how it was: 



Several people of San Francisco who 

 had purchased flowers to put on graves 

 in Greenwood cemetery had complained 

 that the flowers disappeared shortly 

 after they were placed there. Then said 

 Constable A. D. Landini, ' * I will place a 

 bouquet, but therein shall be red pep- 

 per. ' ' He did. The flowers disappeared 

 shortly. 



Some time later Mr. Landini, walking 



East a flower stand, saw a good-looking 

 ouquet. "Where do you buy these 

 lovely flowers t" asked he of the ped- 

 dler-proprietor, nearby. The fellow 

 named a prominent florist, but by that 

 time the constable had taken a sniff of 

 the flowers. One was enough; the red 

 pepper again. The street dealer was ar- 

 rested.
