ORCHID is one of Kunderd's creations. I bought the entire stock of him when he first originated it, and own every bulb of it. It 

 resembles the Chicago While in color, but is a far better white, and in every way superior to that copular variety; has a larger flower, is 

 more vigorous in growth, and a far better bulblet maker. It is Hot more than five days later. It will supplant Chicago White wherever it is tried.

new efifect through the use of berries 

 and flowers and the general result was 

 oriental. 



Mrs. Amundsen, of the Annavee 

 Flower Shop, at Yakima, Wash., was a 

 visitor last week, coming over to attend 

 the season of the Scotti Grand Opera 

 Co. She reports some fine stock coming 

 on in Yakima valley greenhouses at 

 this time. 



A better run of general business is 

 reported by McCoy's. Several large 

 funeral pieces were developed the latter 

 part of last week. Cut cyclamen has 

 proved a popular seller lately. 



Fred Gust, representing the McCal- 

 luni Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the west- 

 ern states, has returned from an ex- 

 tended road trip covering a number of 

 states. In nearly every section it 

 seemed to him that the florists' business 

 had held up as well as could be expected. 



Some of the finest pink gladioli seen 

 here this season were shown in tall bas- 

 kets last week by Melby's Flower Shop. 

 The number of home decorating jobs has 

 increased lately. 



Funeral work has been unusually 

 heavy with Felix Rosaia during the last 

 week. Miss Emma Bennili, of this shop, 

 lias retunuMl from :i two weeks' vaca- 

 tion trip spent on islands in the Puget 

 sound. 



The early fall touch in local flower 

 shops was seen last week in initial ship- 

 ments of California chrysanthemums for 

 the Woodlawn Sliop, and some of these 

 showed exceptionally fine color. This 

 shop has handled a number of large dec- 

 orations, and press comment was re- 

 ceived on one club event, in which hy- 

 drangeas and greens were the only 

 items used. 



The Orpheum Floral Co. has been 

 showing some of the finest late dahlias 

 si'i'ii on the market nnd has also featured 

 some fine jiotted begonias and cyclamens. 



At the last meeting of the Seattle 

 Florists' A^iSOciation, President Moore 

 outlined the plans for winter work to be 

 done by the association and plans were 

 laid for increasing the membership to 

 cover every eligible person in this city. 

 A letter was read from the secretary of 

 the Pacific Coast Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion thanking the florists for their part 

 in entertaining the recent convention. 

 The address of the evening was given 

 by F. G. Cooper, of the Richmond Green- 

 houses, on "Shrubs," particular atten- 

 tion being jiaid to the fall and spring 

 itt>nis thiit i-an be useful to the retail 

 florist. Exiiniiilcs of the various shrubs 

 shown were passed among those i)resent.

 receiving some of the finest asters com- 

 ing into the market at this time, some
