the end of last week, leaving the mar- 

 ket bare for several days. Valley con- 

 tinues scarce and there is not much 

 prospect of any large deliveries. This 

 flower maintains its price, despite the 

 fact that the quality is not of the best. 

 Eoses are improving in quality and in 

 'flome grades are more plentiful. White 

 roses are scarce and at times it is hard 

 to get enough good ones to fill orders. 

 The new crop American Beauty roses 

 are beginning to make their appearance 

 and these sell-well. Orchids are scarce 

 and the price soars, but their absence 

 is not of any consequence, as there is 

 only an occasional call. A few of the 

 new crop carnations are coming in. 

 Dahlias in the different colors are im- 

 proving in quality and increasing in 

 qufintity. 



Various Notes. 



K. W. Franke, manager for Bruffy & 

 Co., Charlottesville, Va., and Mrs. 

 Franke, were visitors last week. 



Samuel Simmons, who for many years 

 has been head gardener for the Joseph 

 Leiter estate here, has resigned that 

 position and, it is said, is about to en- 

 gage in the florists' business, growing 

 stock for the retail trade. 



William J. Gait, who is employed by 

 George C. Shaffer, has gone to Phila- 

 delphia, his former home, for a few 

 days' stay. On his return he will be 

 accompanied by Mrs. Gait, as he in- 

 tends to acquire a residence in the Dis- 

 trict of Columbia. 



George C. Dalgleish, of the Shaffer 

 store, availed himself of another week's 

 vacation and- spent part of his time 

 fishing. Miss Louise Daugherty, of the 

 same store, leaves September 9 for Lex- 

 ington, Ky., where she hopes to enjoy 

 a two weeks' vacation. 



Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Palmoro mo- 

 tored in from Eichmond, Va., last week 

 to visit friends here. Mr. Palmoro was 

 formerly associated with Z. D. Blacki- 



The unusual scarcity of 

 Bronze Galax Leaves has led
