PACIFIC COAST. 



A DELAY in the mails throws the San 

 Francisco news-letter out of its usual 

 position this week. It will be found on 

 page 25. 



Santa Ceuz, Cal. — J. P. Parker has 

 purchased an interest in the Leedham 

 Bulb Co. and has been elected vice-presi- 

 dent of the company. 



SEATTLE. 



State of Trade. 



The outlook for the Christmas trade, 

 in spite of the depression in money 

 circles, is bright. Seattle seems to have 

 a little the best of the situation, with 

 so much Alaska gold coming in. People 

 are certainly crowding in here, and sta- 

 tistics taken from the records of arrivals 

 and departures at the Union depot show 

 that the city is growing at the rate of 

 4,000 to 6,000 people a month. 



The Florists* Assodatloti. 



The Seattle Florists' Association, 

 which has been practically dormant for 

 about twelve months, was shaken out 

 and restarted at a meeting held at the 

 store of Malmo & Co. on the first Tues- 

 day in November. The oflScers elected 

 for the ensuing year, and who have 

 pledged themselves to put new life into 

 the society and try to overcome the pro- 

 fessional jealousies existing, are: Presi- 

 dent, W. H. Thompson, superintendent 

 of the Seattle pubUc parks; vice-presi- 

 dent, C. Malmo; treasurer, J. J. Bon- 

 nell ; secretary, Frank Bathurst, comer 

 of Twenty-second avenue and Olive 

 street. 



The meetings are to be held on the 

 first Tuesday in the month, at the Cham- 

 "ber of Commerce rooms. First avenue 

 and Cherry street. 



It has been decided to change the 

 name of the club to the Seattle Florists' 

 Society, for a most peculiar reason. One 

 of our leading members said that on sev- 

 eral occasions people had come into his 

 place of business and made the remark 

 that the florists had got together and 

 formed an ■*< association," and that the 

 prices of flowers, etc., would be advanced 

 the same way as in other trusts and as- 

 sociations. It took time to explain away 

 this false impression; so a motion was 

 put in writing at the November meet- 

 ing and was passed at the December one, 

 changing the name to the Seattle Flo- 

 rists' ^ciety. 



It was decided to hold a chrysanthe- 

 mum show next fall, and a committee

 Various Notes. 



The Washington Floral Co. will have 

 an excellent lot of stuff for Christmas. 

 A house with 1,500 poinsettias is just 

 right. This firm also has a nice lot of 

 made up pans of flowering and foliage 

 plants. 



The amount of glass erected this last 

 summer is quite large, as the following 

 list will show: H. Harrington Co., seven 

 houses, 20x150 feet; Woodland Floral 

 Co., a block of houses 100x300 feet; 

 Jackson & Co., Brighton Beach, five 

 houses, 20x200; the Seattle Floral Co., 

 two houses, with an elegant store and 

 showroom; G. Bjorkman, Fremont, one 

 liouse; G. Bell, Brighton Beach, two 

 houses. Several others have added glass 

 this season, whom I have not had the 

 time to visit. 



Several new stores are open now. Mr. 

 Walz, late manager for the H. Harring- 

 ton Co., has opened an attractive store 

 in the Washington annex. Sam Graflf, 

 late of Chicago, has a store in the public 

 market. Pike Place. The Al-Ki Floral 

 Co. has a store on Cherry street, be- 

 tween First and Second avenues. Miss 

 W^inehill has a small store in the en- 

 trance to the Downs block, on Second 

 avenue, and the Bell Floral Co. a small 

 store at the entrance to the Savoy hotel, 

 on Second avenue. The Burdette Co. 

 has opened an uptown store at First

 Since the consolidation of the Wood-

CHRISTMAS PEPPERS. 



At what date should I sow seeds of 

 Christmas peppers to have the plants 

 ready for sale at Christmas, 1908? 



M. H. W; 



Seed sown at the end of March will be 

 sufficiently early to produce good peppers 

 for Christmas sales. Sow in a good heat ; 

 60 degrees at night will suffice. Prick out
