The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



SEPTEiLBJiR 22, 1S98. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Youngest Preside t. 



Some of the local florists failed tn 

 see your explanatory note on page 40ti 

 of the Review for September 8 and 

 have requested me to correct the state- 

 ment that Mr. Rudd will be the young- 

 est president of the S. A. F. As you 

 have yourself since noted. President 

 W. F. Gude is decidedly the. youngest 

 man selected to preside over the des- 

 tinies of the national organization. 

 Mr. Gude was born in Lynchburg, Va., 

 January 4. 1S6S, and was just 29 years 

 of age when he assumed the presiden- 

 cy of the S. A. F., nine years younger 

 than President-elect Rudd. 



Soldiers Welcomed. 

 The local florists, with J. H. Small 

 as chairman of the committee, gave a 

 great floral welcome to the 1st regi- 

 ment of D. C. Volunteers on their re- 

 turn from Cuba, September 9. They 

 contributed a great lot of flowers and 

 800 bunches of flowers were made up 

 and tied on the barrels of as many 

 guns with ribbon of the national col- 

 ors. There was also a 3-foot wreath 

 for every officer in line and the sick 

 men were fairly covered with flowers, 

 while the line of march was strewn 

 with them. It was one of the hand- 

 somest floral displays ever seen in this 

 city. 



The Market. 



The cool nights have cut crops short 

 and prices have stiffened. Teas sell at 

 $2 to $4, Beauties $8 to $10, carnations 

 75 cents to $1. Asters are plentiful and 

 fine at 50 cents per 100.
