A. K, Hatki, of Eatcliffe & Tanner, 

 Richmond, Va., and H. J. Anderson, of 

 Cromwell, Conn., were among the vis- 

 itors in Washington last week. 



H. C. Thompson, horticulturist of the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry, has returned 

 from a trip to Cleveland, Columbus, To- 

 ledo and other towns in Ohio, for the 

 purpose of securing data on the grow- 

 ing of vegetables under glass. 



A delegation of women last week ap- 

 peared before a House committee to 

 urge the adoption of the mountain laurel 

 as the national flower. William F. Gude, 

 as national representative of the S. A. 

 F., was given an opportunity to state 

 the desires of florists. He stated that 

 some time ago he had published a re- 

 quest for an expression of views from 

 the florists throughout the country, and 

 that among the answers he received 

 there was only one proposing anything 

 else. 



J. H. Small, Jr., and William F. Gude, 

 of Washington, and Isaac Moss, of Bal- 

 timore, were the experts called to testify 

 as witnesses in the District Supreme 

 court concerning the value of more than 

 a half mile of hedge to be destroyed to 

 permit street widening. The florists, 

 declaring it to be a shame to cut down 

 the beautiful trees and destroy the 

 hedge, placed the value at between $15,- 

 000 and $20,000. C. L. L. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Last week closed with a cold wave, 

 war clouds and a blue Saturday. Mon- 

 day morning the intense cold was ac- 

 companied by a blizzard, and the week 

 opened rather discouragingly for all 

 branches of the trade. 



The cut flower market was steady 

 last week and the average prices of last 

 month prevailed. The scarcity of roses 

 is still a reality and there has been no 

 recession in values; any change during 

 the present week is improbable. The 

 receipts of high-grade American Beau- 

 ties are light and as high as 75 cents 

 each was asked for the selected blooms, 

 with corresponding values for every 

 grade. All other roses have held won- 

 derfully, nothing under $4 per hundred 

 having been quoted for the short- 

 stemmed arrivals. Hadleys continue 

 popular and the best of them bring 50 

 cents each. The other favorites are
