Washington Notes. 

 The florists report an tinusually good 

 business during the past week and ou 

 Wednesda.v. St. Patriclv's Day, some 

 of the stores were practically empty 

 of novelties shortly after the middle of 

 the day. Everywhere was green in 

 evidence and green carnations at $3.00 

 per mo went b}' thousands. One of the 

 prettiest novelties shown was a green 

 cre]}o. paper cover for Shamrock pans 

 which was tied with green ribbon and 

 with a clay pipe attached. The sale 

 of shamrock has almost doubled that 

 of previous years. Carnations are and 

 have been for some weeks, very scarce, 

 owing, no doubt, to the almost con- 

 tinued cloudy weather. There has been 

 a strong demand for gardenias and 

 they easily bring $.5.00 per dozen in 

 the wholesale market. Cheap bulb- 

 ous stock is hurting the regular stand- 

 bys not a little. A very smooth strang- 

 er relieved the Gude Bros, of a little

spare change a few days since. He 

 gave his name as Fred. E. Pierce, 

 agent for Admiral E. H. C. Leutz, U. 

 S. N., and ordered flowers to the 

 amount of $54.ii0 sent to the Admiral. 

 A checque for $75.00 was accepted by 

 the firm and he was given $21. nn iii 

 change. Pierce has since beeti cap- 

 tured in Cincinnati. 



Business is very brisk in 

 DETROIT cut flowers as well as 

 plants. An ever-increas- 

 ing shipping trade keeps the whole- 

 salers hustling and the stock at low 

 ebb Lilies are coming in a little more 

 plentifully. This week will see most 

 of the trade hustling in store decora- 

 tions. Several of the most prominent 

 stores have their spring openings and 

 calls tor palms, etc.. are brisk. Unfor- 

 tunately some of the dealers still be- 

 lieve tliat it pays to rent large palms 

 for two or three days at 50c. per plant. 

 A careful estimate of the price of the 

 plant, cost of keeping, interest on cap- 

 ital invested, and considering that a 

 plant is unsalable after ten decora- 

 tions, will prove that a charge of 50c. 

 per plant is not adequate.
