Among pot plants, larger sizes of 

 cinerarias and combination boxes of 

 bright-colored tulips and hyacinths have 

 about shared honors. Ferns are selling 

 well, and some fine deliveries are being 

 made from the growers. From the ad- 

 vance inquiries, there is going to be a 

 good shipping demand for Easter lilies 

 this year. 



Various Notes. 



C. A. Shaw, Bellingham florist, was a 

 recent trade visitor. 



Special place in window displays has 

 been given to potted offerings by Mel- 

 by's Flower Shop. There has been an 

 increased demand for corsage work from 

 the transient trade. 



Some of the best daffodils seen here 

 during the entire season have been 

 shown lately by the Hollywood Gardens. 

 The cut of carnations at the greenhouses 

 has lately shown an increase. Fancy 

 baskets of exclusive design, filled with a 

 variety of spring flowers, have been mov- 

 ing readily of late. 



The Seattle Florists' Association 

 bowling team met the team from the 

 Tacoma Florists' Association March 24, 

 but unfortunately came out on the 

 losers' end of the score. The matches 

 were rolled on the Ideal alleys and the 

 Tacoma association sent over a rooting 

 section of twelve to be sure that their 

 5-man team was properly supported. 

 Local rooters raised the number on hand 

 at the alleys to about sixty, and there 

 was no excuse for anyone not knowing 

 that the florists were a "live bunch." 

 After the match each of the winners 

 was given a $10 merchandise order, 

 and more than thirty attended a supper 

 in their honor at the Bungalow cafe. 

 Here a menu of crab cocktail, assorted 

 cold meats, ice cream, pie and coffee 

 was served, and a cabaret entertainment 

 enjoyed. A return match will be rolled 

 in Tacoma this month, at a date to be set 

 later, and the Seattle team states that a 

 different score is going to result. 



McCoy's have been showing some of 

 the finest roses coming into the market. 

 This shop has enjoyed a heavy run of 

 fraternal orders on funeral and hospital 

 work. 



William S. Goldsbary, western rep- 

 resentative for the A. *L. Kandall Co., 

 Chicago, has returned from his spring 

 road trip and will be at home for a few 

 weeks, making short side trips to cover 

 the nearby northwestern cities and 

 towns. He reports good Tsusiness on the 

 road, especially in the intermountain 

 states.

Henry Morgan has been making a spe-

The city of Seattle has started a cam- 

 paign to earn the title of "flower city"

 composed of 150 civic leaders, who are 

 to arrange for varied floral displays for 

 the current year. It is estimated that
