The Weekly Florists' Review* 



SEPTEMBER 14, 



WASHINGTON. 



Flowers of all kinds are very plenti- 

 ful and prices way down, but in spite 

 of low prices an increase in funeral 

 work brings up tbe receipts above the 

 average over last year by 25 per cent. 

 Maids and Brides are coming in fine 

 and bring 4c, but Meteors and Beau- 

 ties are short and scarce, with no de- 

 mand excepting at summer resorts. 

 Fine asters of the Sempla strain are 

 coming in and sell readily at ?1 per 

 10O. Dahlias and all outdoor stock are 

 plentiful and bring almost nothing, but 

 the immense quantities received help 

 swell the receipts. 



Notes. 



Field grown carnations this season 

 around Washington are of average 

 size only. The season has been an un- 

 usual one. From spring until now we 

 have had, plenty of rain, but heavy 

 drenching ones which did little good. 

 Roses of all kinds are looking fine, ex- 

 cept here and there we find more or 

 less mildew, due to the cool nights and 

 sudden changes. 



Returning from a trip from the 

 south I stopped over at Lynchburg, 

 Va. Stock of all kinds has suffered 

 on account of the long drought. 



Mrs. S. F. Fisher, of Lynchburg, Va., 

 probably one of the oldest florists of 

 the south, died on August 2. The fu- 

 neral was well attended and the floral 

 designs, furnished by Washington 

 growers, were large and numerous. 

 Mrs. Fisher was the largest lady in 

 the florist's business in the country, 

 weighing 400 pounds. She was also 

 one of the largest dealers south of 

 Washington. She had many friends in 

 the trade and she will be sadly missed. 



John Fallon, of Stanton, Va., has 

 about completed his third house, ICOx 

 20. Mr. Fallon, by the way, likes to 

 build good houses. He won't allow 

 anything but the best of locust posts 

 to be used, in fact, everything must be 

 first class. He has also about com- 

 pleted his residence which was re- 

 cently destroyed by fire; this is a 

 modern structure, large and airy, a 

 model florist's home. Of late Mr. Fal- 

 lon has had many misfortunes, and 

 now Mrs. Fallon and their oldest 

 daughter, Miss Annie, are critically 

 ill. The sympathy of the craft is with 

 him. 



W. F. Gude and W. R. Smith, after 

 a six weeks' pleasant trip through 

 Scotland, are again at home. 



Visitors: B. Eschner, of M. Rice & 

 Co., Philadelphia; I. Owen Harvey, of 

 Lynchburg, Va., and Conrad Seiten- 

 bacher, of Berne, Switzerland.
