The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NOVEMBER 17 



WASHINGTON. 



Mums are to be seen everywhere, on 

 street corners, drug stores, markets, 

 and at last they have reached the de- 

 partment store. But in spite of the 

 glut this week they have been held at 

 $S to $12.50. Prices on other srock 

 same as last week. 



The chrysanthemum show of J. H. 

 Small & Sons and A. Gude & Bro. 

 closed atter a successful week. Thou- 

 sands of people passed througn tnt? 

 store of the latter firm, who have add- 

 ed an immense conservatory to the 

 rear of their establishment. Autu-nn 

 foliage entered largely in the decora- 

 tion. The exhibit was a fine one. Some 

 fine specimens of Boston fern, measur- 

 ing five feet across, attracted oiuch 'it- 

 tention. 



The feature of Small & Son's show 

 was their window decoration, com- 

 posed of fine specimens of orchids ar- 

 ranged in groups among temporary 

 rock work, in the center a pool of 

 water with fountain. The ceiling over 

 the window was one canopy of wild 

 smilax, lighted with hundreds of in- 

 candescent lights, making a handsome 

 effect. In the center of the side win- 

 dow, on top of a mound of Farleyanse 

 fern, was a handsome specimen plant 

 of Aealypha Sanderi, bearing 25 

 blooms 10 inches long. The chrys- 

 anthemums exhibited included well 

 grown plants of new and standard va- 

 rieties, also a seedling of their own 

 Isle of Cuba. 



Mr. J. Owen Hanvey, of Lynchburg, 

 Va., was a recent visitor.
