Apbil 22, 1920 



WASHINOTON, D. 0. 



The Market. 



Despite the many difficulties which 

 came up last week, due to the railroad 

 strike, business was satisfactory. All 

 members of the trade were gla.d to see 

 some progress made in getting this sit- 

 uation straightened out, as many large 

 shipments were left in the hands of the 

 express companies and, in most cases, 

 the stock was sold at low prices. Out- 

 of-town business was hard hit, but the 

 local growers kept the Washington 

 stores well supplied and there were 

 enough greens tied up in this city to 

 last through the entire week. The out- 

 look is much brighter now than it was 

 a week ago, when it was impossible to 

 get a shipment through in any shape.' 

 The plant trade continues . to fall off, 

 but all cut stock is moving well. The 

 rose supply fell off a little last week, 

 but the gap was filled with the abun- 

 dance of other stock. Sweet peas and 

 carnations are still in abundance and 

 clean up fairly well. 



Varioiis Notes. 



Sunday closing was inaugurated April 

 11 and, from all indications, it agreed 

 with everyone. The employees came in 

 Monday with new energy and determi- 

 nation. Only a few local stores re- 

 mained open at any time during the day. 



Fred Leapley has been ill and con- 

 fined to his home for several days, but 

 his condition is reported as favorable 

 and members of the trade hope to see 

 him back in his place of business 

 shortly. 



W. S. Field, of Nuttallburg, W. Va., 

 was a visitor last week. He visited 

 several of the local stores on business.
