The Market. 



Tlie cxtroniely cold weather of last 

 week seems to have hit the territory 

 south of Wasliiustou to such an extent 

 as to .liave reduced materially the sup- 

 ply of Asparaf:;us ])lumosus, maidenhair 

 aiid other ferns. The pruc has not ad- 

 vanced, but orders are not bein<j; filled 

 in full. Tlic scarcity of roses continues, 

 and American Beauties last week 

 broujjht as liigli as $12 ]H'r dozen. Good 

 Ophelia and red roses are selling at 

 from $15 to $20 per hundred. Shawyer 

 and My Maryland bring $12 and $15, 

 with the shorter grades at f r-oni $8 up. 

 Carnations are a little more ])lentiful 

 than they have been. The sweet peas 

 coming into the market surpass any 

 heretofore seen and are in good demand. 

 The quality is evidenced by the fact 

 that one of the local florists sold 

 eighteen dozen almost as fast as re- 

 ceived at tiie ])reviously unheard-of 

 price of $1 per dozen. 



Saint Valentine's day exceeded all 

 expectations. The sale of sweet peas 

 broke all records, but there was a glut 

 of double violets and since that day 

 they have been selling as low as $2 per 

 thousand. Violets are essentially a 

 flower for outdoor wear and when the 

 weather is cold they do not sell readily. 

 Another flower in heavy supply is Pur- 

 ity freesia. This is holding its own 

 with respect to sales, but the price has 

 dropi)ed from $4 to $2 per hundred. 

 The sale of calendulas has been dropping 

 off since daffodils have become more 

 plentiful. Tulips are more plentiful. 

 There is plenty of lilac, both cut and 

 potted, and this is meeting with a good 

 sale. The sale of potted baby prim- 

 roses is draggy. They were in good de- 

 mand when cut flowers were scarce, but 

 are now hanging fire. 



Various Notes. 



J. D. Eiselc, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., 

 Riverton, N. J., accompanied by Mrs. 

 Eisele, has been in Washington on a 

 sight-seeing tour. 



Gude Bros. Co. is cutting some of the 

 largest carnations ever seen in Wash- 

 ington. It is a pink seedling and 



PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR 



aVERYBODY agrees that Plant Tubs made of 

 everlasting Virginia White Cedar will 

 best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brand 

 of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele- 

 brated wood, and these goods are painted inside 

 and out with best oil paints, a rich green. 



They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large 

 size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galvanized) 

 on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed 

 with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and 

 have perforated, removable bottoms. 



These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24^ 

 inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large 

 for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth, 

 Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with 

 prices, furnished upon request.
