Of Interest to Retail 

 Florists 



The past week, the 

 WASHINGTON last before the be- 

 ginning of Lent, 

 proved to be one of the busiest 

 of the season. There were number- 

 less gaieties and several funerals 

 of more than ordinary concern, the 

 one of the Rt. Rev. Henry Y. 

 Satterlee. Bishop of Washington, be- 

 ing a national bei-eavement, as was 

 testified by the great number of hand- 

 some floral offerings. The interment 

 was in the Utile sanctuary at Mt, St. 

 Alban, the site of the proposed Cathe- 

 dral of SS. Peter and Paul, and the 

 decorating of the chancel was a per- 

 fect triumph of floi-al art. There was 

 nothing to mar the purple and white 

 effect, only lilies and violets being 

 used and the graceful southern smilax. 

 Floral pieces numbering up in the hun- 

 dred figures were sent by every faith 

 and well-nigh every church in Wash- 

 ington, to say nothing of those from 

 private individuals and persons high in 

 public rank. 



The retail stores have 

 CHICAGO had a fine chance to 



stock up and make a very 

 'oeautiful display in their windows tor 

 the past week with spring flowers pre- 

 dominating and a background of 

 azaleas and potted tulips all at very 

 low prices. As one retailer remarked, 

 they have waited a long time for the 

 season to come when they can sell 

 carnations at 50 cents per dozen at a 

 profit and violets at 25 cents per 

 bunch, in some of the downtown 

 stores; also carnations at 25 cents per 

 dozen 



A fad for the "Japanese air plant" Is 

 on. Many of the retailers are utilizing 

 this very attractive little sea moss to 

 dispose of the small jardinieres and 

 bric-a-brac that collect in a retail 

 store. The demand has caused a 

 scarcity of the plant and an advance 

 of twenty per cent, in price.
