rapidly nearing an end and this is 

 causing an advance in both demand 

 and price of all other stock. Heavy 

 calls were last week received for car- 

 nations in excess of the supply; pink, 

 light and dark, were exceptionally 

 scarce. American Beauty roses and 

 orchids were also moving well as is 

 lily of the valley. Poinsettias are to 

 be seen but the demand thus far is 

 light. Sweet peas are improving both 

 as to quality and quantity. 



WASHINGTON NOTES. 



O. A. C. Oehmler had a very attrac- 

 tive window display last week portray- 

 ing a real Thanksgiving Day scene. It 

 looked as though he had transported 

 bodily a bit of the outside country 

 into busy G. street, for the display 

 consisted of a representation of a 

 rambling vine-covered snake fence 

 against which lay ears of October corn. 

 A good showing was also made of 

 chrysanthemums and roses and the 

 whole was very attractive indeed. 



Z. D. Blackistone"s window is indeed 

 one of the attractions of Fourteenth 

 street for here each week appear 

 unique displays. The novelty of last 

 week was made by Mr. Walter Hen- 

 gel and consisted of a framed "fruit 

 picture." This consisted of an ordin- 

 ary gilt picture frame filled in with 

 various shades of yellow pompons. 

 In the center was a handled basket 

 made of violets, from which protrudes 

 grapes, oranges and a pineapple. Cy- 

 pripediums are also used in the basket. 

 The frame was entwined with smilax 

 and at the bottom was a bouquet of 

 cattleyas and violets. The picture was 

 on an easel.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



This from a customer who came 1600 

 miles to Philadelphia, arriving in Phil- 

 adelphia at 4 A. M. on a Sunday and 

 left at 3 P. M. after selecting an elab- 

 orate display from Rice for his big oc- 

 casion: 



November 23. 1912. 

 Messrs. M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Gentlemen: — I want to let you know that 

 the weddiDg was a great success and I am 

 more than obliged to you for gettini^ the 

 wedding outtit to me in such prompt and 

 satisfactoiT way. You saved my life. 



I again thank you. 



Yours very truly, 



Which shows that when they look 

 to Rice for the phenomenal in prompt 

 delivery and "the goods" they are not 

 disappointed. This house reports the 

 biggest November business in its his- 

 tory. 



Visitors: H. C. Van Zandt, Newport 

 News; Charles T. Yancy, South Bos- 

 ton, Virginia; Charles F. Hale. East 

 Orange, N. J.; Mrs. Kleinheins, Easton, 

 Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Henry 

 Eichholz, Waynesboro, Pa.; M. C. Ebel, 

 Madison. N. J.; P. Joseph Lynch, New- 

 castle, Ind. 



Flower Exchange and including C. E. 

 Critchell, J. M. McCuUough's Sons Co., 

 L. H. Rysh, Peter Weiland, P. J. din- 

 ger, E. G. Gillett and Wm. Murphy re- 

 port a most excellent Thanksgiving 

 Day business. 



The attendance at the regular meet- 

 ing of the Florists' Society consisted 

 only of the regulars; that is, those 

 who rarely miss a meeting. They 

 number about fifteen. It was expected 

 that in view of the importance of the 

 committee reports that were to be 

 given the attendance would be much 

 larger. The entertainment committee's 

 report showed that the banquet, and 

 lecture by President R. Vincent. Jr., 

 on the International Flower Show 

 would undoubtedly be a very success- 

 ful affair. 



Visitors: Mr. Anderson, Dayton, 

 Ohio: Robert Groves, Adams. Mass., 

 and W. E. Hamilton, Greensburg, Ind. 



CINCINNATI NOTES. 



Albert McCullough has gone to Cali- 

 fornia for a month's stay. He de- 

 parted last Thursday morning. 



All the wholesalers along the street 

 beginning at the Cincinnati Cut 



Detroit, Mich. — Courad J. Schaefer 

 lost his boiler Thanksgiving Day. For- 

 tunately for him we had warm weather 

 since, and now he has a Capital boiler 

 in working order again. 



William Dilger surprised the club 

 with a visit, and better still, re-read 

 his paper, "Horticultural Societies and 

 Their Duties Towards Parks and Pri- 

 vate Grounds," which paper he wrote 

 for and which was most enthusiasti- 

 cally received by the Horticultural 

 Society of London, Ont., Can.
