The root development is complete and shoots started — just brought in froiM 

 field beds. Hyacinths run one to a pot. Daffodils and Tulips will average three 

 flowers to the pot. These are shipped in 100 lots in paper pots, and are ready 

 for forcing in time for Easter. 



JUST AS CHEAP AS THE BULBS - ONLY SELECTED STOCK 



Order your shipment immediately, as the plants are immune from frost 

 when shipped in this semi-developed state. Retail florists who have no green 

 houses can force these Hyacinths, Daffodils and Tulips in their store windows,

 their homes. To be successful in this plan, order your supply at once.

The Market. 



Business last week was exceptionally 

 good, there having been many dinners 

 and receptions and some profitable fu- 

 neral work. The telegraph business also 

 showed a considerable increase over pre- 

 vious weeks on both incoming and out- 

 going orders. Prices on all flowers re- 

 main about the same as quoted last 

 week. One notable exception was Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses, on which there was a 

 heavy run, with a diminished supply, 

 and the price on these advanced to $9 

 per dozen. The shortage was in part 

 due to the filling by one firm of growers 

 in Anacostia of an order for shipment 

 south of 200 first-quality blooms. 



Azaleas are coming in more plentifully 

 and are in fair demand. Lilac is also 

 good and selling well, both cut and 

 potted. Washingtonians seem to be go- 

 ing in more for spring flowers this year 

 than ever before, and centerpieces made 

 of lavender and white sweet peas with 

 forsythia, pussy willow, daffodils, tulips, 

 etc., not only sell readily but bring good 

 prices. Daffodils are more plentiful, al- 

 though bringing $4 per hundred. Tulips 

 are more in evidence and narcissi are to 

 be had in larger quantities. There is not, 

 however, that oversupply of bulbous 

 stock of j)revious years. 



Carnations are high, but they are more 

 plentiful and some of the strain of pre- 

 ceding weeks has gone. All varieties of 

 roses still are scarce and prices are good. 

 A few inferior flowers can be had at $6 

 per hundred, but aside from that the 

 minimum is $8 and prices then run all 

 the way up to $20 per hundred. Violets 

 are plentiful, but the demand has been 

 limited because of the cold weather. 



Various Notes. 



All of the 1916 officers of the Flo- 

 rists' Club were renominated to serve 

 during the year 1917 at the monthly 

 meeting of the club held last week. The 

 election will take place at the meeting 

 scheduled for March 6. C. L. L. 



Clarksburg, W. Va. — Madison Mines 

 is a grower of vegetable plants and early 

 vegetables who is preparing to graduate 

 into the florists' class. He already is 

 growing geraniums for his local custom- 

 ers and finds a demand for other stock, 

 which he will undertake to fill.
