SEATTIiE NOTES. 



(Continued from page 83). 



total business and especially on the 

 number of lilies moved, the sales for this 

 year set a new Easter record for this 

 shop. 



An active inquiry on mum cuttings is 

 reported by B. E. Hammond, of the 

 wholesale liouse. Shipping business in 

 Easter lilies was excellent; the short- 

 stemmed stock this year made for easier 

 jiacking conditions and all of the lots 

 carried through in fine order. 



Piaster advertising by the publicity 

 board of the Seattle Florists' Associa- 

 tion was carried in all four of the Seattle 

 daily newspapers, a design supplied by 

 Dr. Walter A. Moore being used. 

 Smaller space than was used on previous 

 holidays was taken, it being the opinion 

 of the board members that the public 

 needs less urging at Easter to make it 

 buy flowers than on other holidays. 



Heavy sales of late daffodils have 

 been enjoyed by the Art Ploral Co. and 

 there has also been a better demand for 

 tulips. Some fine red and yellow varie- 

 tif s arc coming in from the growers at 

 this time. 



Kosaia Bros, report one of the most 

 s^iceessfnl Easter sales' records in the 

 history of their business, the delivery 

 fleet of this shop being taxed to care for 

 the business, and a large extra force of 

 salespeople being required. A heavier 

 cut of Premier roses is noted at the 

 greenhouses and, in point of quality, 

 this stock is the equal of anything be- 

 ing shown on the market at the present 

 time. Funeral work has been heavier of 

 late, and some large comniissions on 

 special floral pieces have been filled. 



In addition to the group of Seattle 

 florists who will visit the Bellinsham 

 tulip festival this month, the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce has decided to send its 

 glee club on the same trip. The majority 

 of the visitors will drive to this event. 



General interest in gladiolus bulbs for 

 spring planting is holding up splendidly, 

 according to Henry Morgan, of Morgan's 

 Flower Shop, where these arc still being 

 featured. Last week was the annual 

 local dog show, and a number of the 

 Morgan entries were among the prize- 

 winners. 



The Seattle Fern & Moss Co. reports 

 a further increase in the shipping de- 

 mand for fern leaves, advices from the 

 buyers indicating that stock shipped 

 from this section is arriving at its
