is claimed that the roses now being of- 

 fered here should bring better prices, 

 but these are still to be had on the basis 

 of the old quotations. 



The first cosmos of the season was 

 offered last week. There was a fair 

 sale of this flower because it was some- 

 thing new and like a novelty, but it is 

 not a store flower and the bulk of the 

 sales were made in the city markets. 

 Another new arrival was Golden Glow 

 chrysanthemums, but the flowers were 

 not of a good quality, although they 

 sold because they were new. 



No one really expects to cut carna- 

 tions 80 early in the season, yet there 

 are a few hundreds coming in each day 

 to fill possible calls. Although good 

 for this time of year, the blooms still 

 are small. The dahlia crop is going to 

 be light and the bulk of those coming 

 in are poor. Asters are practically over 

 with. There are plenty of Easter lilies 

 to be had at $8 to $10 per hundred in 

 large quantities, with slightly higher 

 prices in small lots, and the demand 

 during the week was good. Tritomas, 

 cockscombs and statice are among the 

 smaller flowers being offered in the 

 stores. 



Various Notes. 



The next regular meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club of Washington, D. C, is to 

 be held at 1214 F street, northwest, 

 Tuesday evening, October 3. After the 

 completion of the usual routine business 

 there will be a discussion regarding the 

 fall activities of the club. It is the de- 

 sire of President E. L. Jenkins that as 

 large a number of members attend as 

 possible, in order that a good fall pro- 

 gram may be outlined. 



Fred H. Kramer, of 916 F street, 

 northwest, laSt week was made the vic- 

 tim of a smooth confidence man, who 

 was slick enough to get away with $2 

 in real money in exchange for a 

 "phoney" check. The stranger, who 

 is a white man, called at the store and 

 ordered a $3 funeral piece, stating that 

 his sister was dead. He presented a 

 check for $5 in settlement. This was 

 accepted and he received the change. 

 The messenger sent out from the store 

 to deliver the flowers could not find 

 the place named in the order. 



Among the week's visitors here were 

 Charles P. Dudley, of Madison, N. J., 

 and Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote, Pa. 



David J. Grillbortzer is erecting. two 

 houses at Alexandria, Va., which he 

 will devote to the production of sweet 

 peas. One of the houses is 35x125, 

 while the other is 35x60. Both are 

 nodem in every particular. Mr. Grill- 



ATTENTION! 



GROWERS or CARNATIONS 



HRODUCERS of high-grade Carnations will find it to their 

 advantage to consign their stock to. us, for we have a 

 good market for same and need a larger regular supply. 

 If you grow any other miscellaneous stock along with your 

 Carnations, you may ship it to us also. You may start ship- 

 ping immediately or as soon as your stock is ready to cut.
