talk on conditions in Paris and London, 

 both of which cities he visited on his 

 recent tour, and he also gave an ac- 

 count of the methods of growing and 

 handling bulbs in Holland. 



The first show of the newly formed 

 Dahlia Society of Seattle was held in 

 the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce 

 October 10 and 11. Considering the 

 lateness of the season, the quantity 

 and quality of the blooms shown were 

 wonderful. The trade exhibits put up 

 by R. W. Gill, of Portland, J. A. Sahli, 

 of Brighton, and J. J. Bonnell and E. G. 

 Benson, of Seattle, contained many 

 new and the best of the older varieties, 

 while the amateur exhibits also had 

 many of the new kinds. K. M. Buttle, 

 president of the society and an en- 

 thusiastic dahlia grower, is endeavoring 

 to have the dahlia adopted as the of- 

 ficial city flower. The society, though 

 still in its infancy, promises to be an 

 important factor in floriculture in this 

 city. 



Olaf J. Wingren, of La Conner, 

 Wash., is a large grower of bulbs in ad- 

 dition to his dahlias. He grows nar- 

 cissi, tulipa and hyacinths, and asserts 

 that forcing bulbs ^own in this state 

 are far superior to imported ones, that 

 they bloom earlier when forced and 

 send up better flowers. If they can 

 be grown as cheaply here, what's the 

 matter with keeping in this country 

 some of that money that annually goes 

 to Holland? 



Miss Mary Damioline is now assisting 

 E. Matraia, the Paris Florist. 



Ira Wilson last week bought out 

 the Crescent Flower Shop. He is tak- 

 ing charge of it himself, turning over 

 the Br>'n Mawr greenhouses to other
