FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHING- 

 TON, D. C. 



Z. D. Blackistone took office for a 

 second term at the April meeting of 

 the Florists' Club of Washington, D. C, 

 held last week at the store of the S. S. 

 Pennock Company. William F. Gude 

 will again serve as treasurer. The 

 new officers are George E. Anderson, 

 vice-president, and E. P. Rodman, sec- 

 retary. 



The following florists were elected 

 to membership at this meeting: J. 

 Harper Hetherington, Louis A. Hoover, 

 George A. Comley, John J. Bickings, 

 R. J. Lacey and J. Dan Blackistone. 

 Applications for membership were also 

 received from Elmer C. Mayberry, 

 Adolph E. Gude (son of Adolph of Gude 

 Bros.), C. Henry Gottenkenny, W. T. 

 Westcott, George N. Prokos, and Hardy 

 Pritchard. 



President Blackistone appointed the 

 following committee: House — George 



E. Anderson chairman, J. Harper 

 Hetherington and Edward S. Schmid. 

 Exhibition — Otto Bauer chairman, J. 

 Harper Hetherington and George H. 

 Cooke. Membership — R. Lloyd Jen- 

 kins chairman, Otto Bauer and Henry 

 Witt. Entertainment — George C. Shaf- 

 fer chairman, Fred H. Kramer, Harry 

 B. Lewis, Louis E. Hoover and Walter 



F. Bottger. The membership of these 

 committees will be increased and addi- 

 tional committees named at a future 

 meeting of the club, also special com- 

 mittees to arrange for the fall flower 

 show. It was practically decided to 

 hold a Flower Display Week in Wash- 

 ington early in the fall. The holding 

 of a show had been discussed for sev- 

 eral months, it being thought desirable 

 to take such a step to further boom the 

 business for next year. However, the 

 automobile dealers of Washington 

 proved that the turning of their indi- 

 vidual stores into show places for Auto 

 Week was a more successful way of 

 handling such a proposition, and the 

 florists will pattern their show ac- 

 cordingly. 



Each of the city's retailers and the 

 growers and nurserymen of the Dis- 

 trict of Columbia, nearby Maryland 

 points and across the river in Virginia 

 will be invited to contribute towards a

fund to be used in advertising the flor- 

 ist business locally. Large advertise- 

 ments will be placed in each of the 

 four Washington daily papers and 

 placards will be put out in various 

 parts of the city. Suitable reading 

 matter for insertion in the newspapers 

 will also be prepared. The plan is to 

 select some week in the early fall for 

 Flower Display Week and to concen- 

 trate all efforts upon it. All of the 

 stores would be kept open until ten 

 o'clock each evening, with all of the 

 clerks on duty to entertain visitors, 

 and a general invitation extended to 

 the public to "take a look" at each 

 store's offerings. It would be up to 

 each of the retailers to make his store 

 most attractive, make up decorations 

 and display cut flowers, and do every 

 thing possible to increase the love of 

 and desire for flowers to the end that 

 his own individual business will be in 

 creased. 



CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 

 At a meeting of the Chestnut Hill 

 Garden Club, Thursday evening of last 

 week, E. I. Farrington gave an illus- 

 trated lecture on the Arnold Arbore- 

 tum, the World's Greatest Museum of 

 Living Trees and Shrubs. The same 

 lecture is to be given before the New- 

 port Horticultural Society on April 22. 



Flower Market Reports 



During the past 

 ROCHESTER week trade has been 



very quiet and stock 

 on the whole has been fairly plentiful 

 with only th° average demand. The 

 weather has been beneficial to blossom- 

 ing plants, which are being held for 

 Easter trade. Roses are plentiful and 

 include Columbia, Ophelia, Sunburst, 

 Killarney, September Morn and Wards, 

 which are lower in price. Violets are 

 plentiful but are none too good in qual- 

 ity. Carnations have been scarce dur- 

 ing the past week but a good shipment 

 is promised for the Easter trade. 

 Sweet Peas are good in quality and 

 sell well and the supply is heavy. A 

 good supply of bulbous stock is on the 

 market, also mignonette, marguerites, 

 calendulas, for-get-me-nots. Some good 

 callas are on the market and sell well, 

 also snapdragon in pink and yellow 

 varieties. Greens are plentiful. 



The outlook for 

 PHILADELPHIA an excellent 

 Easter week is 

 very good, according to the wholesal- 

 ers, most of whom claim to have ad- 

 vance orders enough to cover all con- 

 tingencies. Roses are the most plenti-
