WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Rose Society of Brookland, D. 

 C, celebrated the fifth anniversary of 

 Its founding last Saturday evening by 

 a reception and supper, preceded by a 

 literary program. Prof. Mulford of 

 the Dept. of Agriculture spoke on the 

 rose garden at Arlington, Va. 



More than three thousand persons 

 attended the poinsettia show at the 

 Botanic Garden on the day of its open- 

 ing. This is the first poinsettia show 

 ever held here. It was a record day 

 for attendance at the Botanic Garden, 

 and Supt. Hess received many compli- 

 ments on the excellence of the blooms. 



J. H. Small & Sons furnished the 

 decorations at the New Willard Hotel 

 for the annual banquet of the Gridiron 

 Club, held last week. Large quanti- 

 ties of American Beauty and other 

 roses, carnations and chrysanthemums 

 were used, and the decorations were 

 declared to have been among the finest 

 seen in this city. 



Shipments of Christmas greens on 

 the river line steamers ai-e beginning 

 to get very heavy and the boats now 

 arriving have decks piled high with 

 crates and boxes of this material There 

 is not as much holly to be found along 

 the Potomac this year as in the past 

 few years, although it is said to be 

 fairly plentiful. Mistletoe, however, 

 is reported very scarce. 



A bill has been introduced into the 

 House to secure the establishment at 

 or near Colquitt, Georgia, of an experi- 

 ment station for the purpose of demon- 

 strating the character of plants, fruit 

 and ornamental trees, vegetables, etc., 

 best adapted to the soil and climate of 

 that section. The bill proposes an ap- 

 propriation of $2.5,000 for this purpose, 

 under the direction of the Secretary 

 of Agriculture. 



The high cost of coal and the diffi- 

 culties experienced in obtaining nec- 

 essary supplies, two matters which 

 have been instrumental in driving a 

 large number of small florists out of 

 business, and the liigh cost and scar- 

 city of paper of various kinds, will be 

 made the subjects of investigation by 



the Attorney General if the resolution 

 introduced by Representative Adolph 

 J. Sabath is adopted. The magnitude 

 of the proposed investigation can well 

 be realized when it is shown that Mr. 

 Sabath suggests an appropriation of 

 ?250,000 for that purpose. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The florists' dance on Dec. 6th was 

 a great success and a very enjoyable 

 time was had. 



The monthly meeting of the St. 

 Louis Florists' Club was held on Thurs- 

 day, December 14th. 



Saturday, Dec. 9th, saw the opening 

 of the Blossom Shop by Miss Nellie C. 

 McClure and Ivar Ericson, formerly 

 with Grimm & Gorley, at 4110 Man- 

 chester avenue. 



PITTSBURGH 



Henry Manke, who has been in the 

 employe of the Zieger Company, for 

 the past two years, is now with the 

 recently organized "Liberty Florists." 



William Cooper succeeds John Yea- 

 mon in the bookkeeping department of 

 G. P. Weaklin & Company. Mr. Yea- 

 mon. who has been a sufferer from 

 pleurisy for some time past, will leave 

 a little later to locate in the far west. 



Thomas Edward Tyler has been ser- 

 iously ill for the past two weeks. Ow- 

 ing to this fact, I>avid Fraser, of the 

 H. C. FYick estate, arranged the beau- 

 tiful display in the orchid houses of 

 Charles Dickey Armstrong for the 

 meeting of the Garden Club of Alle- 

 gheny County last Friday.
