The Florists' Review 



JUNB 29, 1916. 



iliary of the District of Columbia, and 

 has always taken great interest in the 

 work of the ladies of the S. A. F. Her 

 illness has been a matter of no little 

 regret to her friends. 



George C. Shaffer is awaiting the com- 

 pletion of the wagon top for his deliv- 

 ery auto. The top is to be green in 

 color, with the name of the florist and 

 trimmings in gold. 



There is considerable complaint 

 among the growers of asters of the con- 

 tinued cold and wet weather, which is 

 causing the plants to go almost entirely 

 to foliage. Grave fears are expressed 

 as to the probable outcome of this 

 year's crop. B. Winkler, who has an 

 acre of asters on his place at Chevy 

 Chase, Md., says that leaf and stem-rot 

 have already set in. He has 4,000 early 

 and 4,000 late asters. Last year his 

 crop was exceptionally good. A con- 

 tinued drought enabled him to use the 

 sprinkler system, which takes care of 

 the entire acre, to good advantage. He 

 has several lines of pipe through which 

 water from Eock creek is forced at the 

 rate of about 3,000 gallons per hour. 



William M. Hetherington, son of 

 Joseph H. Hetherington, who formerly 

 worked with his father for the Eobert 

 Craig Co., of Philadelphia, is visiting 

 his brother, J. Harper Hetherington, of 

 this city. 



The death of George Shoemaker, of 

 Glenmount Md., is recorded in this

The Market. 



Better weather prevailed last week 

 and business responded. Transient 

 trade is beginning to recede, now that 

 summer has arrived. The number of 

 weddings increased greatly last week 

 and there were many funeral orders 

 for this time of the year. Japanese 

 maples, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, 

 wistarias, boxwood, bushes and plants 

 have had a good sale. There also has 

 "been quite a demand for ferns of 

 various kinds. Sweet Williams have 

 been disposed of in large quantities, 

 but they now are passing. The same is 

 true of heliotropes, verbenas, petunias, 

 etc. Pansies have gone. Boses are 

 plentiful and their prices are moderate, 

 considering the season. The cloudy 

 weather checked the supply of sweet 

 peas, but now, with more sun, they are 

 coming into the market in large quan- 

 tities and in great variety. Carna- 

 tions are plentiful. Phloxes are begin- 

 ning to arrive and marigolds are avail- 

 able in quantities. Spiraeas are plenti- 

 ful and of high quality. There is a 

 moderate supply of daisies, coreopsis, 

 etc. Peonies are plentiful, the larger 

 varieties being abundant. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Breninger is making a spe- 

 cialty of ferns and rubber plants. Now 

 that summer is here, there will be a 

 constantly decreasing demand for cut 

 flowers. 



A. Deisler & Son report a falling off 

 in the sales of cut flowers but plenty of 

 funeral work. 



Charles Luthy decorated his store for 

 the Springfield Avenue Merchants' 

 Week celebration. He reports business 

 as being good.
