Trade Conditions. 



Each week since New Year's has 

 grown steadily worse for the trade. 

 The retailers one and all have the 

 same mouruful tale of no business and 

 say that the past month of January 

 has been the worst ever known. A lit- 

 tle stir was created the first of the 

 week caused by the death of Commis- 

 sioner Butterworth and the Charity 

 ball, and then business dropp?d 

 with a dull thud. The store windows 

 are filled with bulbous stuff, but there 

 is no demand for it. 



Government Competition. 



There were several entertainments 

 during the past week in high life, yet 

 the services of the florists do not seem 

 to have been needed to make them 

 successful. The firm of Uncle Sam 

 perhaps got the order. I saw his de- 

 livery wagons quite busy last week, 

 loaded with palms, and heading in that 

 direction. It seems as if those in 

 charge of the Department of Agricult- 

 ure and other plant-growing establish- 

 ments under the government, have at 

 last concluded that of all sections of 

 these United States, the District of Co- 

 lumbia is the most suitable — soil being 

 the best I presume — for experimenting 

 with the many varieties of plants: the 

 best results seem to be obtained here, 

 if not in the growth of the plants, at 

 least in their distribution. From the 

 frequent deliveries, I would infer that 

 the soil was not suitable to them and 

 that it would be well to try another 

 section of the country before certain 

 varieties become extinct. 



A Daily Paper Acts. 



The Washington Post, which has the 

 largest circulation of the morning pa- 

 pers and is a fearless and strong pa- 

 per, has come out in a strong editorial 

 in favor of the Washington florists In 

 their fight against the free distribution 

 of flowers by the government.
