Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met Monday eve- 

 ning, December 9. Considerable busi- 

 ness was transacted in settling the af- 

 fairs of the flower show. With all bills 

 paid, a considerable amount will be 

 left over, which shows well for the 

 first attempt. E. R. C.

The Market. 



As usual after Thanksgiving week, 

 trade has not been quite so brisk and 

 stock is hanging on longer than we 

 should like. Chrysanthemums are still 

 arriving in fairly liberal quantities and 

 the quality continues good. The next 

 two weeks will nearly clean them up, 

 so that there will be few, if any, left 

 for the Christmas trade. There is a 

 good supply of carnations, but large 

 shipping orders take care of the sur- 

 plus, so that prices arc well maintained 

 and there is no sign of anything like a 

 glut. Boses are scarce and of none too 

 good quality, the foliage in some ship- 

 ments being badly mildewed. The local 

 supply is small, coming mostly from 

 the east and south. Local violets are 

 in fine condition, but the supply is not 

 large. Discriminating buyers, however, 

 are pleased to pay an enhanced price 

 in preference to buying the California 

 stock. Callas are in good supply and 

 are extensively used. Paper Whites 

 and Romans are selling briskly, but are 

 not arriving in large quantities so far. 

 Orchids are scarce. Greens of all 

 kinds are in good demand. Pot plants 

 are fairly abundant, but are not mov- 

 ing fast. 



Various Notes. 



The H. B. Burdett Co. has installed a 

 motor delivery in connection with the 

 ever increasing business at First and 

 Denny way. The new vehicle is a 

 Chalmers car. 



Charles Muench is back in the city 

 after spending the summer in Van- 

 couver, B. C. He reports business as 

 being good there, but says he prefers 

 to reside in Seattle. He has accepted 

 a position in the Third avenue store of 

 Mrs. L. W. McCoy. 



The Florists' Club's committee has 

 been active in trying to put a stop to 

 the peddling of California violets on 

 the streets, with satisfactory results 

 so far, and it is hoped that before long 

 the florists will have one less complaint 

 to make.
