WASHINGTON NOTES. 



The roses at the National Capital 

 have been better this summer than 

 ever before owing to the fact that 

 some of the larger growers have de- 

 voted several houses to summer stock 

 exclusively. American Beauties, off 

 new plants, have been coming in in 

 fine shape since the first of August 

 and the supply is well equal to the 

 demand for all ordinary purposes. 

 "My Maryland." "Enchanter." "Kais- 

 erin." "Killarney." "Brides," "Brides- 

 maids" and "Ivory" are in good form 

 for this season of the year. Carna- 

 tions have been fairly plentiful and 

 really good considering the terrific 

 heat, but now the larger growers are 

 throwing them out to make room for 

 the outdoor plants. China asters are 

 doing better this year than ever be- 

 fore. They are being grown to single 

 stem two and three feet long with 

 four-inch flowers. They are filling in 

 the space until chrysanthemum time 

 a few weeks hence. 



Mr. Otto A. C. Oehmler, secretary 

 of the Washington Florists' Club, is 

 spending the month with Mrs. Oehm- 

 ler and their child, at Colonial Beach. 



J. H. Small & Sons furnished prac- 

 tically all the cut flowers and decora- 

 tive plants used in connection with 

 the entertainments tendered Admiral 

 Count Togo of the Japanese Navy 

 during his recent visit to Washington. 



Superintendent Lanham who has 

 charge of the trees and parkings of 

 this city reports that, as a result of a 

 successful war against the caterpillar 

 and the tussock moth, the 100,000 

 shade trees of Washington are in bet- 

 ter condition this year than ever be- 

 fore. This year a 450 gallon sprink- 



ler, loaded with arsenate of lead, was 

 brought into operation, with excellent 

 results. 



Edward M. Harris, Sr., and Prof. 

 George M. Perdew, both of Cumber- 

 land, Md., last year discovered a new 

 species of goldenrod growing in the 

 vicinity of "Devil's Slide," near Cum- 

 berland, and for this Mr. Harris has 

 been honored by having the plant 

 named after him — Solidago Harrissi. 

 This plant grows and blooms much 

 earlier than the ordinary goldenrod, 

 but it usually attains a growth of onlv 

 one foot. CLARENCE L. LIXZ. 



PERSONAL. 



Frank Hill, gardener to F. A. Sayles, 

 Pawtucket, R. I., is very proud of the 

 fine conifers that adorn this fine place 

 and which by care in planting have 

 survived this dry season. His method 

 is to fill each hole about one-half 

 with soil and puddle well around the 

 roots giving plenty of water, then fin- 

 ish with top soil. By following this 

 plan he has not lost one tree. 



Having failed in her mission to find 

 her husband, Caskin A. Abeele, who 

 came to Washington a month ago to 

 establish a florist business, Mrs. Jen- 

 nie Abeele is again at her home in 

 Flatbush, N. Y With her six-weeks- 

 old baby she returned to New York 

 yesterday afternoon. According to the 

 story she told the police, her hus- 

 band, after selling his greenhouse on 

 Long Island, left her when her baby 

 was six weeks old. saying he was 

 going to Washington. He had with 

 him, she said, nearly $2000. The police 

 are making a search for Abeele.—
