ARE FLOWERS NON-ESSENTIAL? 
There is a section of our Pike Place Public Market where in 
season, growers of flowers arrange their blooms for display and 
sale. Here one may buy a modest bouquet for a few cents, or 
an elaborate arrangement for a comparatively low cost. 
A customer, at one of the Dahlia stands one afternoon last 
summer, is perhaps typical of many. She was plainly dressed 
and small, about all you noticed as she looked over the vases of 
blooms on the table. Selecting a bouquet of the largest ones, she 
confided, “This is my birthday present and my boy in the Army 
sent me money for it.” As she proudly bore her flowers away, 
it was evident to those seeing her radiant expression that it would 
be hard for any economic planning commission or efficiency 
expert to convince her that fiowers should be considered non- 
essential.
