PROMPT AND COURTEOUS ATTENTION TO YOUR NEEDS. 



hurst Floral Shop has been noted. The 

 good weather is drawing more visitors 

 into the shopping sections during the 

 afternoons. Some fine long-stemmed 

 daffodils have been featured in the 

 window displays of this store, with good 

 results. 



Eosaia Bros, arranged one effective 

 display window through the use of yel- 

 low daffodils, lavender and orchid- 

 shaded sweet peas and sheet moss, the 

 sheet moss being used on the sides of 

 circular stands shaded by floral parasols 

 of sweet peas and flanked by the daf- 

 fodils. This shop received considerable 

 local publicity because it was visited by 

 a motion picture star. Further pub- 

 licity has been secured through the use 

 of several hundred feet of film in one 

 of the national news reels, showing 

 the greenhouses at Thomas and some 

 of the Easter lilies being grown there. 



E. G. Benson is cutting some fine 

 sweet peas and reports a considerable 

 increase in tlie quantity. 



Morgan 's Flower Shop continues to 

 feature gladiolus bulbs and other sea- 

 sonable offerings for planting. Orders 

 have exceeded expectations at this 

 store, while some shipping business has 

 also been developed. 



Potted cinerarias of unusually fine 

 coloring and large size have been good 

 sellers with the City Flower Shop, 

 while shipping orders on large funeral 

 pieces have been increasing as well. 



A heavier cut of carnations is re- 

 ported by A. B. Matthiesen, and 

 weather conditions have been more fa- 

 vorable to color development. 



Seattle florists are planning to send 

 a delegation to the coming tulip festi- 

 val at Bellingliam, which has grown 

 into one of the important civic ven- 

 tures of the Pacific northwest. It is 

 stated that this year's showing of the 

 blooms will be the largest ever seen. 



A surprising increase in funeral 

 work has been a late feature of busi- 

 ness at Melby's Flower Shop. 



The B. E. Hammond Co. reports a con- 

 tinued demand for local growers' stock 

 for shipping, while the demand for 

 roses is so heavy that good-sized ship- 

 ments are being brought in daily to 

 meet tlie demand. Mr. Hammond was 

 out of town last week on business. 



The Seattle Fern & Moss Co. notes a 

 further extension of the territory draw- 

 ing on local sources for its supply of 

 dagger ferns, while other branches of 

 the shipping trade are holding up well. 

 Felix Rosaia has been devoting one en- 

 tire window to potted tulips and other 

 potted spring offerings. Special selling
