QUALITY STOCK 



O. K. STKINKAMP 



Several visitors recently have placed orders with us for Carnation Cuttings to replace their own 

 stock. Perhaps you, also, would like to replace with more vigorous stock. If so, we can supply the rooted 

 cuttings to start with. Come and look us over. 



Our Geranium plants are grown cool and sturdy. None better to be had. 



Presilly— light pink Barney— cerise Poitevine— salmon Decorator— orange scarlet Marvel— deep scarlet Nutt— crimson scarlet 



Has it ever occurred to you that Quality and Price usually go hand in hand ? You can always buy for 

 less money, but don't expect high quality at a low price. We grow for Quality, always. It pays.

The Market. 



The St. Valentine's day business was 

 satisfactory. Sweetheart, Sweet Marie 

 and Cameo roses, sweet peas and vio- 

 lets were in good demand for this pur- 

 pose. Freesia sold better. The market 

 is almost bare of red flowers. Amer- 

 ican " Beauty roses were in heavy de- 

 mand, with not enough to go around; 

 Hadley is practically off the market 

 and there are but few Hoosier Beauty 

 and Eichmond roses to be had. Red 

 carnations are quite scarce and the 

 general run of carnations has dimin- 

 ished by fully fifty per cent. The 

 cloudy days last week caused a great 

 curtailment in the cut of all roses. Val- 

 ley is quite plentiful and is bringing 

 $5, with a fair demand. Southern daf- 

 fodils have made their appearance and 

 are being offered at $1 per hundred. 

 Easter lilies are coming in more freely. 

 Orchids still are plentiful, with but 

 little demand, except for the Valen- 

 tine's day tr^de, while gardenias are 

 hard to get. 



Various Notes. 



The Gude Bros. Co. had two fine 

 window displays last week; one in 

 honor of Lincoln's birthday, the other 

 a Valentine 's day display. The feature 

 of the latter was a huge heart of red 

 immortelles, outlined with chiffon of 

 matched colrir. The Lincoln window 

 represented a jwoodland scene decorated 

 with ferns and cattleyas and portraits 

 of Lincoln. 



The fourth annual meeting of the 

 Chamber of Commerce of the United 

 States brought a large number of visi- 

 tors to Washington, and among these 

 were many florists. Those registering 

 were George Burgevin, Daniel Burgevin 

 and Cornelius Hime, of Kingston, N. Y.; 

 Charles A. Keffer, of Knoxville, Tenn.; 

 J. Hampton Bich, of Winston Salem, 

 N. C. Julius Dilloff, of New York, and 

 E. H. Flood, of Philadelphia, called on 

 the trade last week. 



Twenty-five Washington retailers, 

 wholesalers and growers contributed to 

 a fund which was used in securing an 

 advertipement in the Washington Post 

 headed "For St. Valentine's Day Give
