The Weekly Fforists' Review. 



Fbbbuabx 1, 1812. 



SEATTLE NOTES. 



[Concluded from pace 47,] 



tities. Cattleyas are fairly plentiful. 

 Good pot plants are selling well and 

 there are some fine cyclamens and 

 plenty of cinerarias and primulas, which 

 help the appearance of the stores. 



A Trip to Tacoma. 



The Seattle Florists' Club made a 

 trip to Tacoma on Thursday, January 

 18. It was a fine day, with plenty of 

 sunshine. About twenty-one members 

 made the journey on the 10 o'clock in- 

 terurban and a further delegation went 

 over at night. A deputation of the 

 Tacoma florists boarded the cars before 

 their arrival in the City of Destiny, and 

 conducted their visitors to various 

 greenhouses in and around Tacoma. In 

 all the places visited, it seemed as if 

 we had been expected, for everything 

 was in first-class shape and reflected 

 credit on the various proprietors. In 

 the middle of the day a banquet was 

 given in the leading cafe, and refresh- 

 ments of all kinds were tendered at the 

 various establishments visited. 



In the evening a bowling match took 

 place and the Tacoma bowlers, on their 

 home alleys, fully redeemed themselves 

 for their recent defeat in Seattle. The 

 scores will be found in the Bowling 

 Department, on another page. An ad- 

 journment was afterward made to the 

 rooms of the club, where matters of 

 general interest to the trade were dis- 

 cussed, after the visitors had all been 

 made honorary members of the home 

 club. Eefreshments again followed 

 and the balance of the evening was 

 spent harmoniously. The visitors came 

 home on the last car, each one express- 

 ing his hearty satisfaction with the 

 day's outing and declaring that a bet- 

 ter bunch of fellows than the Tacoma 

 florists would be hard to find. 



Various Notes. 



At the joint meeting of the florists 

 of Tacoma and Seattle it was resolved 

 to take steps to secure the establish- 

 ment of an experiment station, if pos- 

 sible, in this state, to take up subjects 

 of interest to the florists' trade. 



The Burns Floral Co. is installing 

 mirrors and otherwise decorating the 

 retail premises on Third avenue. The 

 firm pronounces business good in both 

 wholesale and retail departments. 



Bosaia Bros, are planning to build a 

 range of glass on the land which they 

 purchased some time ago at Thomas. 

 They took advantage of the recent low 

 price of glass and have enough on the 

 ground to glaze four houses, each 28 x 

 200 feet. They expect to start con- 

 struction. H. H. Hawley is conducting 

 the seed department in their store. 



A. E. Buxton has just completed a 

 new propagating house at his Brighton 

 place. He is cutting some fine carna- 

 tions at present. 



After looking around among the vari- 

 ous houses of giganteums, it seems 

 likely that some extra coal will be 

 needed to get the flowers forward in 

 time for Easter. 



The recent mild weather has been 

 good for outdoor work. The nurserymen 

 are busy with orders and lots of plant- 

 ing is being done. 



Henry Bomhoff was down from Vic- 

 toria, B. C, again this week — an at- 

 tractive place, Seattle. T. W.
