Tlic birthday cake was of pink :iiid 

 white carnations topped by orchids. 



Aquatic effects, with tulips spring- 

 ing from bowls of goldfish, were part 

 of the decorations used by Fred Ber- 

 trand, of the Palace hotel, for the 

 luncheon given to visiting Bethlehem 

 Steel Co. magnates by Joseph Tynan, 

 the manager of the Union Iron Works. 



The California Floral Co. finds that 

 apartment house dwellers have a fad, 

 just now, for tulips and sweet peas 

 combined for corsage and table use. 



Brown & Kennedy report an unusual 

 number of hosjjital orders. The fashion 

 for bon-voyago baskets seems to be ex- 

 tending, in the Mission district, to 

 sending baskets to welcome friends 

 back to convalescence. In these 

 baskets, appetizing fruit is combined 

 with the flowers. M. M.

The Market. 



More active business was the rule last 

 week. Stock deliveries were without 

 notable change, the only novelty being 

 trailing arbutus. This is not generally 

 grown in the Pacific northwest, and for 

 that reason it attracted considerable at- 

 tention here. Each week of late has 

 seen an increase in social decorations. 

 The initial sailing of the liner Wenat- 

 cliee, now the largest boat on tlie Pa- 

 cific, flying the American flag and 

 carrying a distinguished passenger list, 

 brought a fair amount of new business. 

 The transieiit sab^s as a result of win- 

 dow displays are increasing. The fine 

 weather has been in a great measure 

 responsible for this, since it has 

 brought out more women shoppers. 



The cut of local roses is steadily 

 improving and little further improve- 

 ment could be asked on Columbia. Eus- 

 sell is not so good, but Butterfly and 

 Ward are coming to market in fine con- 

 dition. Continued sunshine is giving in- 

 creased color. Hadley roses are still 

 being shi]ipeil in from California, and 

 there were several special shipments of 

 Cecils Brunner, since the local supply 

 is still short of the demand on these 

 two varieties. Growers report that they 

 will be in a position soon to start de- 

 liveries of Ulrich Brunner and that 

 they are increasing their planting ma- 

 terially this season. This was one of 

 the most popular red varieties of roses

The local cut of carnations is much 

 better in cohir and in strength of stem, 

 but outside sliijimonts are still necessary 

 to care for the demand. The violet sea- 

 son is passing and most florists have 

 been substituting sweet peas whenever 

 possible for this flower. The cut of 

 sweet peas is heavy and of excellent 

 quality, leaving little regret over the 

 lighter cutting of violets.
