The Florists' Review 



October 1, 1014. 



SEATTLE NOTES. 



(Concluded from pave 77.) 



ried oflf the honors in the professional 

 classes for dahlias, Paine Bros., of Bit- 

 ter Lake, Wash., and Benson Bros., of 

 Seattle, being also exhibitors. The sil- 

 ver cup for the most artistic floral ex- 

 hibit was won by Fred W. Gust, of the 

 Eosery, with Mrs. L. W. McCoy in sec- 

 dnd place. Mr. Gust's exhibit was a 

 tastefully arranged effect in autumn 

 foliage, cosmos, chrysanthemums and 

 dahlias. Mrs. L. W. McCoy's chief fea- 

 ture was some bouquets of valley, or- 

 chids, etc., backed with a fine collection 

 tof ferns, palms, etc. 



^he president of the society, R. M. 

 Buttle, was quite successful in winning 

 prizes, no less than thirteen trophies, 

 most of them silver cups, falling to his 

 share. The quality of the blooms shown 

 by him left little to be desired. Fred 

 Smith, of the Smith Floral Co., Tacoma, 

 judged the professional classes and J. H. 

 Gill, of Portland, with Olaf J. Wingren, 

 of La Conner, awarded the prizes in the 

 amateur sections. 



Of other flowers than dahlias there 

 were few entries and Thomas Wylie had 

 a light task in judging them. Amateur 

 exhibits from all parts of western Wash- 

 ington were shown and, considering the 

 lateness of the season, a fine lot of 

 blooms were set up. Visitors were much 

 interested and those in the trade were 

 hard pressed to supply catalogues, so 

 that considerable business will probably 

 result. 



Various Notes. 



A company has been formed and is 

 Belling stock for mining coal on the 

 shores of Lake Washington contiguous 

 to Rainier beach. This may be of in- 

 terest to greenhouse proprietors, many 

 of whom have ranges accessible to trans- 

 portation on the lake. The company 

 claims it has a good quality of coal not 

 far from the surface and "Will be able 

 to supply coal to consumers at a cheaper 

 rate than they have hitherto paid. In 

 view of the high prices we have been 

 paying for poor coal, these statements, 

 if resulting in facts, should be welcomed 

 by many growers. 



Allan Beall, of the Woodlawn Flower 

 Store, was added to the list of bene- ' 

 diets last week. 



Miss Pearl Garlick, lately of Brighton 

 Beach, well known to many in the trade, 

 was in the list of September brides of 

 last week. 



The growers of flowers apparently are 

 losing hope of making their fuel bills 

 from their winter crops in this line and 

 are turning their attention to more ma- 

 terial crops. The Bryn Mawr Green- 

 houses have some benches of cauliflower; 

 H. B. Haussen and J. A. Sahli are ex- 

 perimenting with celery as a greenhouse 

 proposition; Harry Risdon has the whole 

 of his plant and A. B, Matthiesen part 

 of his planted with tomatoes, and others 

 are seriously contemplating planting 

 edibles instead of flowers in the future. 

 The proximity of California militates 

 against high prices for winter flowers 

 here and possibly may against good 

 prices for vegetables. But nothing is 

 so good as a trial, and if these growers 

 are successful, we may not hear so much 

 talk of overproduction and poor prices 

 in the future. 



Mr. Shaw, of the Bellingham Florists' 

 Exchange, was in Seattle last week. 

 This firm has recently commenced busi- 

 ness and Mr. Shaw reports favorably as 

 to its success. T. W. I
