Dullest period of 

 WASHINGTON the whole season. 

 Very little stirring 

 and flowers hang fire. Plenty ol asters 

 and dahlias. There are not very many 

 of the lattt'r that can be considered A 

 stock and what is received of this type 

 moves quickly. A falling off in the 

 sale of lilies is noted. Gladioli are 

 beginning to go backward and will 

 soon be over with. Locally grown Ra- 

 diance and good Ophelia and -Maryland 

 were the week's best offerings in 

 roses. Very few flowers are coming 

 in from north because of delayed ex- 

 press transportation. The month, de- 

 spite heat and vacations, has been the 

 best August in the history of the 

 trade. -
