SEATTLE NOTES. 



(Continued from pat'e tIT.) 



was true of lily of the valley in pots. 

 Primroses were offered, but failed to at- 

 tract much interest, and potted genistas 

 were a slow-moving line. 



There is a continued scarcity of 

 orchids as far as local production goes, 

 so that outside growers are being drawn 

 on to fill the current demands. Carna- 

 tions have also been in lighter supply 

 than the trade could have handled, with 

 high-quality offerings in the minority. 



Little holly or greens remained at the 

 end, but sonic of the outside shipments 

 of mistletoe had failed to clear. There 

 was a great deal of last-minute street 

 competition in the sale of holly wreaths 

 by small boys, etc., but this failed se- 

 riously to affect the trade. 



Various Notes. 



The Art Floral Co. moved a good 

 quantity of medium-sized potted plants 

 during the holiday rush, although the 

 cold weather made proper display of the 

 flowers hard to manage. 



The Hollywood Gardens enjoyed a sat- 

 isfactory Christmas business, with an 

 especially good sale reported on the 

 smaller sizes of potted poinsettias. 

 Fancy baskets, combining several varie- 

 ties of blooming plants, also met with 

 a good demand and the available stocks 

 of cut flowers were cleaned up in good 

 order. This shop showed some fine ex- 

 amples of potted valley. The green- 

 houses continue to send in some fine 

 Laddie carnations, with an improvement 

 noted as to color. The showing of gold- 

 fish in novelty bowls has attracted com- 

 ment. 



Late shipping business for the Seattle 

 Fern & Moss Co. has been holding up 

 well, with greens and dagger ferns the 

 leaders with the buyers. 



Melby's nower Shop enjoyed a brisk 

 business Christmas day, owing to the 

 shop's central location. Late shoppers

An Elastic Cement That Elxpeunds 

 and Contracts With the Weather 



Make your ereenhouse weather-tight with Asbestfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or peels 

 in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



$1.25 per gaUon. Why pay more? 



You can't get an.vthing better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; 

 weighs but 10 pounds to the gallon. 



With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful application of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by keeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply Asbestfalt 

 with our Liauid Putty Machine, price 

 $■2.00. With every barrel purchase of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.
