A Brighter Outlook. 



I am glad to be able to report a notice- 

 able improvement in the cut flower busi- 

 ness this week and so far as can be 

 learned the outlook is becoming brighter. 

 There has I)een a falling ofT of stock, es- 

 pecially roses, occasioned by dark weather 

 and ofT-crops. The glut of last week was 

 not caused by an increased supply but 

 rather a lack of business. Carnations are 

 still abunilant, ordinary varieties selling 

 at|i.50 per hundred, fancies going slow 

 at |4 and I5. Brides and Maids are 

 held at I5 and $6. Meteors $6 and |S, 

 Perles $.J, callas |.S, Harrisii |io, Romans 

 $2 and $},, narcissus J3, violets 75 cents 

 and $1. The latter still seem to be losing 

 their popularity, Princess of Wales and 

 California selling in preference to the 

 double ones. 



A Visit From the Indianapolis Brethren. 



A party consisting of ten brother flor- 

 ists from Indianapolis spent last Sunday 

 with us calling upon Messrs. Witter- 

 staetter, Murphy and Peterson, To say 

 that Dick's Evelina opened their eyes ex- 

 presses it mildly. The boys all had a 

 pleasant time and departed feeling w^ell 

 satisfied with their visit. 



Notes. 



C, C. Murphy met with another acci- 

 dent Monday. As he was driving over 

 the Sth street viaduct, a car struck his 

 wagon, Mr. Murphy was fortunate 

 enough to escape with a slight shaking 

 up, but I am sorry the same cannot be 

 said about his vehicle, which was badly 

 damaged 



H. Weber of Oakland, Md., was a 

 caller last week. B.
