The Market. 



It will require real football weather 

 to make the sale of chrysanthemums 

 what it should be. The extra fine local- 

 ly grown dahlias still coming in by the 

 wagon-load are playing havoc with the 

 prices of mums. Not until dahlias and 

 cosmos are killed by frost is there 

 much hope for that increase in price 

 which the growers must have to make 

 the crop a profitable one. Unaka has 

 made its appearance and this, with 

 Polly Eose, October Frost and Yellow 

 Frost, is the best of the week's offer- 

 ings. The prices range from $2 per 

 dozen down to $4 per hundred. Quite 

 a quantity of bunch stock is coming in. 

 This is good, but it has helped to force 

 prices down to a low level. 



Boses in all colors are reasonably 

 plentiful and include white roses, of 

 which there has been a considerable 

 shortage. Mock is good and Badiance, 

 Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty are at- 

 tracting considerable attention. Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses also are plentiful and 

 the price is suffering because of the 

 oversupply of other flowers, so that 

 they can be had as low as $1.50 per 

 dozen. There has been a big demand 

 for corsage bouquets, making good the 

 sale of Sweetheart and Ellen Poulsen 

 roses. 



Never before have the single violets 

 been so fine so early in the season. 

 Quantities of these are being picked 

 outdoors. They are fragrant, hold up 

 well, have exceptionally long stems 

 and meet with a ready sale, replacing 

 to a large extent the doubles that are 

 being shipped in from distant points. 

 Orchids still are quite plentiful and 

 meet with a fair sale. Snapdragon 

 in the three colors is coming in nicely 

 and finds favor for use in dinner deco- 

 rations. 



Various Notes. 



William F. Gude and Walter Hawley, 

 of the Gude Bros. Co., were members 

 of the party representing the Betail 

 Merchants* Association of Washington, 

 D^ C, which last week went to Leon- 

 ardtown, Md., by automobile on a 

 boosters' trip. This is a part of the 

 campaign to secure some of the Mary- 

 land business for the Washington 

 wholesale and retail establishments. 



J. Harper Hetherington, manager of 

 the Washington Floral Co., is receiving 

 congratulations on the advent in his 

 family of a little girl. Mrs. Hethering- 

 ton was Miss Alice Cramer, who for a 

 number of years was bookkeeper and 

 cashier in the store. 



Business to some extent has taken a 

 slump, due to the near approach of the

election. Washington is peculiarly sit- 

 uated in this respect and political ac- 

 tivity always has its effect upon the 

 commercial life here. Z. D. Blackistone 

 has made a careful analysis of the sit- 

 uation and says that he finds condi- 

 tions much the same as fouK years ago; 

 that many of his customers are out of 

 town campaigning, while others are 

 conserving their resources with a view 

 to taking an extended vacation around 

 election day. He says that this condi- 

 tion has become noticeable since Sep- 

 tember. Added to this is the continued 

 hot weather, which is making itself 

 felt in all lines of business. The social 

 season is backward this year and the 

 number of decorations is less than was 

 expected. 



Walter H. Page, of Charlottesville, 

 Va., was a visitor in Washington last 

 week. Mr. Page, with Wm. S. Hollo-
