The Weekly Florists' Review. 



69 



years, and prices obtained much better. 

 Roses were, and continue to be, very 

 scarce. Carnations fell short of the 

 demand and were of inferior quality. 

 Beauties and red roses are especially 

 scarce. In outdoor stock, snowballs arc 



in their pri while spirseas, weigelas 



and deutzias add to the general stock. 

 Cape jasmines from Texas arc a very 

 valuable adjunct at this time. A few 

 g 1 longiflorum lilies are seen. Out- 

 side valley has also been coining in 

 quite freely, but they arc nearly all 

 gone now. 



Bedding out has been rushed with all 

 possible dispatch and work in that line 

 is nearly all done. Another week, or in 

 ten days at the latest, outside work 

 should lie all completed. Shipping trade 

 has been exceptionally good this spring. 

 Geraniums, as usual, have been in 

 greatest demand, but there has also 

 been a good call for pansies, verbenas. 

 cannas, coleus, marguerites, feverfew. 

 etc. 



C. F. Haupt is cutting some fine lilies. 

 which were originally intended for 

 Easter, but are selling nearly as well 

 now. 



Holm & Olson, who erected a range of 

 plant houses las! summer, find their 

 business doubled over that of a year 

 ago. 



L. L. May & Co. bad a large decora- 

 tion at the Commercial Club this week, 

 and several $50 and $75 funeral orders 

 have kept them exceedingly busy. 



Charles Vogt has been "the busiest he 

 ever was and says business is very- 

 good. 



There is a very heavy demand this 

 week from the country towns for red 

 roses and carnations for commencement 

 exercises and weddings. X. Y. Z.

WASHINGTON. 



Last week rain fell almost 

 gave the boys a much easier feeling, as 

 all outdoor stock was suffering very 

 much. Decoration day was a record 

 breaker. Some did 50 to 75 per cent 

 better than last year. Everything sold 

 at very good prices in spite of the large 

 quantities of outdoor stock at hand. 

 Beauty brought $2 to $5, all tea roses 

 $1 to $1.50 per dozen, carnations 50 

 cents to $1 a dozen. Cemetery baskets 

 cleaned out at 50 cents each. By 10 

 o'clock on the morning of Decoration 

 day one could not buy any kind of a 

 plant in bloom. 



Last week. Wednesday, a party of our 

 bowlers went to Baltimore and were 

 royally entertained. We did not have 

 our regular team and Captain Ernest 

 had a bad hand, so we did not make a 

 very good showing on the alleys. Our 

 team will challenge the Baltimore and 

 Philadelphia teams for a silver cup 

 known as the Kramer cup and valued 

 at from $35 to $50. The conditions of 

 the match will be announced later.
