some time to feature its novelties in 

 this extra display space. Full credit is 

 given on inserted cards to the decorator. 

 This shop supplied the violet corsages 

 for a special opening holiday sale of a 

 local clothing store, hundreds of bunches 

 being used on this job. 



Theodore Hedgen, manager of the 

 Davenport Flower Shop, of Spokane, 

 Wash., and a high state official in Moose 

 circles, was a visitor last week. He 

 attended the dedication of the new tem- 

 ple. Among the local members of this 

 order is Gino Desideri, of the Orpheum 

 Floral Co. 



Henry Morgan has enjoyed a nice 

 opening week's business in his new 

 Third avenue shop. He will make a 

 special feature of potted offerings for 

 the holidays. 



Melby's Flower Shop produced an at- 

 tractive wedding decoration last week, 

 using Columbia roses mainly. The altar 

 was draped in greens and Columbia 

 roses as well. 



Arthur Smith, of the Smith Floral Co., 

 Tacoma, Wash., was a trade visitor last 

 week, purchasing Christmas supplies. 



McCoy's have been showing fine 

 Ophelia roses, combining these with 

 varicolored mums to produce a most at- 

 tractive window display. 



Acting on the principle of "taking 

 one's own medicine," the Hollywood 

 Gardens have developed a most attrac- 

 tive exterior dressing for the store. On 

 the "marquee" are set small Christmas 

 trees, embellished with holly and greens. 

 Long strands of cedar roping outline 

 both this and the tops of the display 

 windows. A seasonable showing was a 

 holiday box of English holly, tied with 

 wide red ribbon and having a parcel 

 post label on the cover, suggesting the 

 idea of this item as a Christmas gift. 



Sylvestro Muecci, of the City Flower 

 Shop, introduced a Christmas novelty 

 in small potted trees made in the shape 

 of the "monkey" tree. These have five 

 or six uniform branches fastened to the 

 center stalk and have been brightened 

 by ruscus and holly berries. 



At the monthly meeting of the Seat- 

 tle Florists' Association the members 

 stood for a minute in silent tribute to 

 the late Fred S. Stimson. Arrange- 

 ments were made for the printing of 

 the list of people who have been using 

 the retailers to secure undue credit. 

 Also it was arranged to start the dinner 

 preceding future meetings at seven 

 p. m., so that members coming from 

 across the lake can start home earlier. 

 Sam MacMonnies, of the Burdett Co., 

 gave several Scotch songs. The ques- 

 tion box received its first try-out, bring- 

 ing up a number of interesting subjects. 

 William Goldsbary, secretary-treasurer 

 of the association, presented his resigna- 

 tion, because his position with the A. L. 

 Randall Co., Chicago, keeps him on the 

 road so much of the time. A vote of 

 thanks for his efforts was given by the 

 organization. It was decided to sep- 

 arate these two offices in the future, 

 Palermo F. Eosaia, of Rosaia Bros., be- 

 ing elected treasurer and H. B. Mills, 

 secrotarv. 



The Pinehurst Floral Shop has moved 

 a large amount of prepared Christmas 

 novelties and, from present indications, 

 will move a quantity of medium-priced 

 items. 



J. O. Hankins, of the Seattle Pottery 

 Co., advises that the demand on lily pots 

 is later this year than ordinarily. Good- 

 sized orders have been coming in during
