PACIFIC COAST. 



1 HE Seattle Exposition closed October 

 15. It attracted an attendance of 3,500,- 

 0(1 (i people and President Taft. 



Two Rivers, Wash. — John Melzer is 

 enf^aging in the florists' business here 

 and has just completed his first green- 

 house, 25x100 feet. He is an experienced 

 florist, having learned the trade in Ger- 

 many. He is located close to the Colum- 

 bia river and says the climate is well 

 suited for outdoor flowers and vege- 

 tables, as there are usually bright, warm 

 days until about the first part of Janu- 

 ary. 



SEATTLE. 



The Market. 



With the closing day of the exposition 

 at hand, people are settling down to the 

 fall social season, which opened with a 

 string of fancy dinners, luncheons, card 

 parties and the like, with several large 

 weddings. Consequently business is far 

 better and smiles again appear on the 

 florists ' faces. 



Stock is coming in nicely, with the 

 exception of the asters, which are now 

 getting smaller at every cutting. Violets 

 are to be seen in the stores and every- 

 body on the streets seems to be wearing 

 them. Consequently the falling off in the 

 sueet peas was not a hardship, as the 

 violets were the only flowers worn, with 

 tile exception of the orchids, the demand 

 I'lr which is far above the supply. Mums 

 are now of good quality and, although 

 oiily a few are to be had, fancy prices 

 f.'cvail and they will certainly be the 

 i' pular flower again this fallj as they 

 11 rapidly even at the high prices. Calla 

 J les and gladioli, although scarce, are 

 ' i her a dead weight and every day are 

 vowded a little more to one side, to 

 ike room for the more showy blooms. 

 Outdoor Brunner roses are still to be 

 d, but are being rapidly replaced by 

 •5 indoor stock, which is still a little 

 ft, but of fair quality and medium 

 "Jgth of stems. Richmond, Kate Moul- 

 Q and Bride are probably the best at 

 e present time. 



Autumn foliage, which in color and 

 'ality is superior to most things in this 

 '10, can be had in quantities and the 

 ores are using it to great advantage, 

 ■ ot only in decorating the stores but at 

 '-'e various social gatherings.

The Market. 



Business has been fairly good here 

 since the last writing. There is plenty 

 of stock, especially in mums and carna- 

 tions, although no great oversupply, as 

 the demand keeps up. The visit of the 

 President to our city helped, as there 

 was an array of baskets, bouquets, etc., 

 ordered by the different clubs and 

 schools for presentation to him. Almost 

 all the florists were benefited more or 

 less.

ber 11, in the Shrine auditorium, in honor 

 of the visit of our President. The deco- 

 rations were elegant. There were eighty 

 tables with a large centerpiece of roses 

 on each, also boutonnieres for each guest 

 and there were 800 of them. The ceil- 

 ing was festooned with smilax and As- 

 paragus pluraosus, with thousands of 

 electric lights intermingled. The Roth- 

 Eeymond Floral Co. secured the order. 



The Angelus Florist decorated the auto 

 the President occupied while in the 

 parade through the principal streets. 

 They used yellow mums exclusively; it 

 took eighty dozen of them and they cer- 

 tainly made a fine showing. Morris 

 Goldenson had the order for hanging 

 baskets, composed of geraniums and As- 

 paragus Sprengeri, which were hung on 

 the arms of the street lamps and added 

 considerably to the general street deco- 

 rations. The Eedondo Floral Co. had 

 about all they could take care of, re- 

 ceiving a number of good orders for 

 baskets and bouquets for presentation to 

 the President.
