Various Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Tlorists' 

 Club of Washington, D. C, is scheduled 

 to be held Tuesday evening, April 4, 

 at 1214 F street, northwest. The prin- 

 cipal business of the evening will be 

 the installation of the new president 

 and vice-president. 



B. Lloyd Jenkins, of Anacostia, has 

 so far recovered from his recent illness 

 that he is able to attend to his business. 



Charles Scarborough was in charge of 

 the display at the Philadelphia flower 

 show made by the Gude Bros. Co. Ac- 

 cording to the announcement of Wil- 

 liam F. Gude, about one-half of the 

 company's employees will visit the 

 show during the week, taking advan- 

 tage of the educational opportunities 

 offered. 



Theodore Wirth, superintendent of 

 parks of Minneapolis, Minn., and J. J. 

 Hess, of Omaha, Neb., were the guests 

 of the Gude Bros. Co. last week. Be- 

 fore leaving for the Philadelphia show 

 they had an opportunity of visiting 

 many of the places of interest in and 

 about the city. They visited the green- 

 houses and expressed themselves well 

 pleased with all that they had seen. 



Florists of Washington have been in- 

 vited to enter the window display con- 

 test to be operated under the auspices

 five classes and to the winner in each 

 there is to be awarded a scholarship in 

 a Scranton correspondence school. Those 

 desiring to enter their windows in this 

 contest should communicate at once 

 with Secretary Thomas Grant.

 and prices declined in some lines. 

 Koses are good and more plentiful, es- 

 pecially in the fancy stock. Beauties 

 still are scarce, witli the demand for 

 them on the increase. The Russell and
