DECEMBER S, 1S9S. 



WASHINGTON. 



Thanksgiving Trade. 



Snow, wind and rain proved a great 

 ■drawback for Thanksgiving dav. Roses 

 and cut mums were very plentiful. In 

 spite of bad weather everyl>oiiy did 

 fairly well. Roses brought $6 to $8; 

 carnations, $2, and poor at that; vio- 

 lets, $1; mums, all varieties. $6 to 

 $12.50. 



Owing to so much rainy, snowy 

 weather since the holiday stock is 

 coming in very poor and the demand 

 has kept pace with the weather. 



From all indications mums will be 

 plentiful until Christmas; Major Bon- 

 naffons are seen in abundance at pres- 

 ent writing. J. H. Small & Son have 

 used several thousand of this beautiful 

 variety the past two weeks for recep- 

 ition work. 



John Robertson, our young Connect- 

 icut avenue florist, has bought the en- 

 tire estate of the late John Robinson, 

 four miles out of the city. The estab- 

 lishment includes the handsome resi- 

 dence, Carnegie horses and house fur- 

 niture, as well as four houses stocked 

 with roses and orchids; also several 

 hundred frames of violets, all in fine 

 condition. He has the best wishes of 

 the fraternity for his success 



J. D. Davidson was recently pre- 

 sented with a bouncing boy. 



Visitors: A. Nelson, of P. R. Pierson 

 Co.; Mr. Ford, of A. Hermann & Co. 

 F. H. KRAMER. 



WORCESTER, MASS. 



The severe weather of the past week 

 has interfered seriously with business, 

 but violets and carnations being in 

 short supply there was not so much 

 fault found. 



Prices are having an upward ten- 

 dency, especially on the new varieties 

 of carnations. 



Fisher & Son have had an unusually 

 busy time on funeral work. 



H. F. Littlefleld has put in 150,000 

 cuttings of the new varieties of last 

 season's carnations. 



The Worcester County Market Gar- 

 deners' Association has voted to in- 

 vite the florists to join the association 

 and to make it a joint organization 

 to promote the interests of both 

 branches. H. R. Kinney of this city is 

 secretary of the association. 



BAY STATE. 



WELLSVILbE, 0.— W. A. Herbert 

 has remodeled his houses and added 

 1,000 feet of new glass, giving him a 

 total of over 7,000 feet. 



SHIREMANSTOWN, PA.— John F. 

 Rupp found his home chrysanthemum 

 show a decided success in bringing 

 many visitors who made purchases 

 of all kinds of stock. He presented a 

 large blooming plant to each of the 

 express messengers and conductors on 

 the railroads by which he ships plants 

 and finds this an excellent plan to se- 

 cure a careful handling of his ship- 

 ments.
