SEATTLE, WASH. 



The Market. 



General trade activities last week 

 were slow on most lines, and it was con- 

 ceded by all florists that only a good 

 sale on bedding stock and a brisk de- 

 mand for funeral work saved the day. 



Funeral work was heavy last week, 

 and there has been an unusually heavy 

 demand for the larger pieces. There 

 has been an increase in small decora- 

 tions and the booking on early June 

 weddings insures a good run of work. 



Stock is plentiful in all lines. The 

 first deliveries of anenomes, local irises 

 and peonies were made last week. Iris 

 is of especially fine quality and the 

 same can be said for the gladioli which 

 arc being cut. 



The latter part of last week was 

 marked by unusually warm weather, 

 with the result that roses were forced 

 •ahead, and the cut showed a material 

 increase. ('arnations showed better 

 color, and tlic supply of tulips and nar- 

 cissi is still ahead of trade demands. 

 Orchids continue scarce, witli lilac in 

 plentiful supply. Forget-me-nots are 

 about the only item in popular demand 

 on which it is hard to supply the neces- 

 sarj' stock. 



Various Notes. 



Walter (iarbett, who succeeds the 

 late Martin Reukauf as the Pacific 

 coast representative of 11. Rayersdorfer 

 & Co., IMiiladelphia, has been calling 

 on the local trade during tlie last week. 

 He reports business conditions aver- 

 age in most communities visited. 



Koses of exceptional color and length 

 of stem were among last week 's offer- 

 ings at the City Flower Shop, and these 

 have proved good sellers. A number 

 of good-sized orders for fraternal fu- 

 neral pieces have been filled. 



The Woodlawn Flower Slio]) has been 

 using its smaller windows on the Union 

 street side for an effective display of 

 some new pottery lines, and these have 

 met with good success. Blues and va- 

 riegated patterns of this same color 

 have been most popular. The larger 

 window has been given over to the 

 summer flowers in baskets and other 

 combinations. One luncheon decoration 

 handled last week called for the ar- 

 rangement of a yacht several feet in 

 height, of yellow tulips and lavender 

 sweet peas, combined with yellow rib- 

 bon, sailing on a sea of maidenhair 

 ferns.
