Always Put iii Front -- 

 WHY? 1^ 



^When a certain line of goods is always put in front, and shows an . 

 unbroken record of increasing sales for the past five years, there 

 must be more than one "reason" for it. The finest sales organiza- 

 tion, the cleverest advertising ever devised, will not keep a line in 

 the front unless it has other merit back of it than just being a good 

 line. As a matter of fact, there are "reasons" why this line of 

 baskets is always in the front. Here they are : 



Coatly Appearance Low Prices Practicability 



Easy-filling Quality Originality 



and many other reasons too numerous to mention. But these are the 

 main causes for the unchallenged leadership of the Neidinger 

 Baskets. _ 



^Don't fail to see our new line which our men are now out with— better than ever. 5 

 All our baskets are supplied with water-tight containers. S

the supply and making a better market 

 for the remainder. At the end of the 

 week the weather again turned warm, 

 bringing out additional stock and 

 steadying prices. 



The few carnations that came in 

 during the week brought as high as $3 

 per hundred. These are fair-sized flow- 

 ers and are good for this season of the 

 year. There are plenty of roses of all 

 varieties. A marked improvement is no- 

 ticed in Hadley, Ophelia, Hoosier Beau- 

 ty and Radiance, and Prima Donna is 

 unusually good. White roses continue 

 scarce and those that are available have 

 short stems. There is a good demand 

 for these, on account of the large quan- 

 tity of funeral work. There still are 

 some gladioli to be had at from $6 to 

 $8 per hundred, but they are not good, 

 although selling fairly well. 



Various Notes. 



M. J. McCabe, of Anacostia, D. C, 

 is visiting relatives in New York, hav- 

 ing left Washington to recover from a 

 nervous breakdown brought on by over- 

 work. Mr. McCabe has found it difB- 



cult to secure men. This season he has 

 had to shoulder a great deal of addi- 

 tional work himself. He will be absent 

 for a month. 



Miss Julia Ballenger, manager of the 

 Z. D. Blackistone store, was absent from 

 the city last week on a short vacation. 



Mrs. S. P. Martin has taken over the 

 Freeman greenhouses and will conduct 

 them, with Samuel Simmons as her 

 manager. Mrs. Martin comes from New 

 York city and has had no previous ex- 

 perience in the business. Mr. Simmons 

 is a thorough florist and gardener, hav- 

 ing learned the business in England. 

 He came to this country a number of 

 years ago to serve as njardener for the 

 Leiter estate. The Freeman range rep- 

 resents between 50,000 and 60,000 feet 

 of glass. While the principal crops 

 now produced are roses, carnations and 

 sweet peas, miscellaneous flowers also 

 will be grown during the first year. It 

 is said that Mrs. Martin has a seven 

 years' lease on the place, with an option 

 of buying, 



William E. Gray, of Oakton, Va., is 

 cutting some exceptionally fine dahlias,
