The Shop Windows. 



A daring window — one that suggests 

 that the artist who arranged it meant to 

 compel attention, a window that it is 

 difficult to pass without stopping, a win- 

 dow that repays study — such is the win- 

 dow of William Berger's Sons. 



The floor is of white, so pure that the 

 white trellis in the background looks 

 creamy by comparison. On this daz- 

 zlingly white floor are vases of flowers 

 that present strong contrasts. Each 

 vase is generously filled and given ample 

 display room. A blue vase is filled with 

 freesias and cornflowers; the freesias 

 tall and graceful, the cornflowers short. 



just clear of the vase that they match 

 well. Nearby is another vase in which 

 white predominates. It is nearly filled 

 with Easter lilies save for a cluster of 

 the orange Calendula grandiflora. At 

 one side a bunch of white daisies in a 

 green bowl and a shapely bowl full of 

 Golden Spur daffodils and Paper White 

 narcissi complete the suggestion of 

 spring. A vase containing just two speci- 

 men Ophelia roses in the background 

 gives a suggestion of early summer to 

 this spring-like window. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Emily Exley commenced a series 

 of six lectures at Eleventh and Locust 

 streets February 6. There will be one 

 lecture each Tuesday afternoon until 

 March 13. 



A meeting of the growers of gera- 

 niums and other bedding plants will be 

 held at the office of Robert Craig Co., 

 4900 Market street, Saturday, February 

 10, at 2 p. m., to consider whether the 

 price of spring plants should be ad- 

 vanced owing to the increased cost of 

 production. 



Alfred B. Cartledge, Jr., will open a 

 retail store in Wilmington, Del., in a 

 few days. Mr. Cartledge, who was for- 

 merly buyer for his father's firm, Pen- 

 nock Bros., has many good wishes for 

 his success. 



L. H. Dudman, the clever carnation 



grower, is receiving congratulations on 

 the birth of a son.- 



J. D. Eisele is at Fort Meyer, Fla.

WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Washington experienced its first real- 

 ly cold weather of the winter February 

 6, as much as 10 degrees below zero. 

 Stock sold up closely last week, the 

 prices remaining about the same as those 

 of the week before. Usually there comes 

 a drop at this time of the year, but the 

 weather has been such, up to now, as 

 to keep the figures quite high. Roses in 

 all colors are scarce and it is a difficult 

 matter to get any but culls at less than 

 8 cents. The bulk of the stock runs 

 up to $15 per hundred, while some few 

 specials bring $20 per hundred and 

 higher. Carnations continue to bring 

 $5 and $6 per hundred and are as scarce 

 as reported the preceding week. Other 

 stock is more plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



William F. Gude has again broken 

 into the movies. With Mrs. Gude and 

 George W. Hess he accompanied the 

 committee on public buildingb and 

 grounds of the House of Representatives 

 to Monticello, Va., where they viewed 

 the home of Thomas Jefferson, which 

 the government is about to acquire.
