 the tinny denizens of the water sur- 

 rounding Blackistone's Island, Mil 

 Anyhow they are having a very good 

 time from all accounts. 



Mr C. .1. Saunders recently re- 

 moved his store from 1411 to 1415 U 

 street, N. W., at which latter address 

 he has more space and a store more 

 nearly fitted to the requirements of a 

 growing business. The stand is well 

 located, being near the transfer sta- 

 tion at Fourteenth and U streets. He 

 is one of the recently elected members 

 to the Florists' Club of Washington. 



It has been reported that the part- 

 nership which heretofore existed be- 

 tween J. Harry Ley and J. J. Bickings 

 has been dissolved. They have been 

 doing business during the past six 

 years under the title of Ley & B ck- 

 ings. The former will continue at 

 the old stand while the latter will re- 

 engage in the two new houses, on ad- 

 joining land, which have just been 

 completed. 



The Washington Florists' Co., 

 Thirteenth and F streets have perhaps 

 the best display window in the city 

 this week, decorated in the honor of 

 the convention of the Veiled Prophets. 

 As a setting for a display of lurid 

 Satanic scenes and emblems the win- 

 dow is filled with scarlet geraniums, 

 cannas. golden rod and ferns, and at 

 the hack is a large model of the Wash- 

 ington monument, painted red in spots, 

 and representing "A Hot Old Time." 



Florists in Anacostia, D. C, where 

 there is a large area devoted to hot- 

 houses, are enlarging their facilities, 

 and those who have not added to their 

 equipment are expected to do so short- 

 ly. Two modern hot houses have l)een 

 recently constructed for Fred H. 

 Kramer at his establishment in Good 

 Hope road. Others have been built at 

 the gardens on the Bickings estate at 

 Good Hope, and James F. Pierce is 

 modernizing part of his equipment on 

 the Bow en road. Alexander B. Gar- 

 den is having similar work per- 

 formed at his Minnesota avenue 

 plant.

ST. LOUIS NOTES. 



Wm. P. Craig, of Robert Craig Co., 

 Philadelphia, spent a few days here 

 the past week calling on the different 

 plantmen. 



There is some talk of organizing - a 

 union among the florists. This talk 

 comes from those who solicit funeral 

 orders and want to make a hit with 

 the local unions. 



President Taft's visit last week 

 brought some extra work for the local 

 florists. At every place the President 

 visited flowers were prominent 

 Beauties were largely used on all oc- 

 casions. 



The Wm. C. Smith Wholesale 

 Flower Co., with their employes, 

 spent Sunday afternoon, September 

 24, at Kirkwood. They came back 

 with a great load of crawfish. There 

 wi re five ladies in the party.
