roses, with Ophelia, Butterfly and Pri'- 

 mier making the biggest gains. There 

 jire plenty of Columbia and Russell on 

 hand. Cecile Brunners are common, 

 but Hadley is hard to find. The cut of 

 orchids is increasing, but there is no 

 oversupply. The supply of gypsophila 

 has shown an increase. 



Among the longer-stemmed items, 

 gladioli are easily the leader. These 

 are widely used for both private and 

 commercial decorations. Golden Glow, 

 hollyhocks, snapdragons and a number 

 of varieties of lilies have been much 

 used for decorations. Late summer 

 flowers from outdoors are common at 

 present. Sweet peas are plentiful. 



Potted items have shown some im- 

 provement, cockscomb, begonias, early 

 cyclamens and ferns being the chief 

 items in this division. 



Various Notes. 



William Goldsbary, who recently look 

 the position of Pacific northwest repre- 

 sentative of the A. L. Randall Co., 

 Chicago, left last week on his first road 

 trip in his new capacity. He will call 

 on the British Columbia trade during 

 this run. 



The Pinehurst Floral Co. has been 

 securing satisfactory results from the 

 sale of novelty lines lately and some 

 oddly colored grasses have been fea- 

 tured in the window displays. Golden 

 Glow banked just inside the doorway 

 proved an attractive floor display for 

 the week. 



T. Rhoades, of the Woodlawn Flower 

 Shop, is back at work after a successful 

 fishing trip on the upper Snoqualmie, 

 while David Jones and A. Moore have 

 left on tlicir vacations. Mr. Jones will 

 spend his time on Mount Rainier. Miss 

 Gladys Cohen is also back at work after 

 a few days' vacation. A new window 

 developed at this shop consists of two 

 levels, a fountain playing into a circular 

 I)Ool forming the upper section, while 

 the water falls down over rocks from 

 this into a i)ool of water lilies in the 

 foreground. One elaborate club decora- 

 tion handled last week called for 

 gladioli, hollyhocks, gaillardias and oth- 

 er summer flowers, in summer garden 

 effect. 



Large baskets containing large ferns 

 have been effectivel}' shown at Melby's 

 Flower Shop and there has been a nice 

 run of small general decorations.

At their meeting last week, members 

 of the Japanese Florists' Association 

 voted unanimously to affiliate them- 

 selves with the publicity committee of 

 the Seattle Florists' Association in the 

 advertising cajnpaigu being carried on. 

 The Japanese growers will pay in the 

 same percentage as other growers to 

 this cooperative advertising fund; that 

 is, one per cent of their sales from grow- 

 ers who sell only to the retail trade and 

 one-half of one per cent on gross sales 

 from those growers who also maintain 

 establishments where they sell at retail.
