The Florists' Review 



NOTBMBEB 16, 1916. 



them locally. Koses in colors are holdr 

 ing their own, particularly Hoosier 

 Beauty, Hadley, Ked Radiance, Killar- 

 iney Brilliant and Shawyer. Mock, 

 which has been extra fine so far, is be- 

 ginning to become bull-headed. Carna- 

 tions are still suffering on account of the 

 chrysanthemums. Sweet peas are some- 

 what more plentiful. Double violets are 

 meeting with fair sale but single violets 

 are left unsold. For the first time in 

 many months there is an oversupply of 

 valley. A fine lot of bouvardia is ready. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Floral Co. is cutting 

 some exceptionally fine Mensa mums, 

 Double White Killarney and Ophelia 

 roses. 



The automobile delivery outfit of the 

 Leo Niessen Co. was practically demol- 

 ished last week when hit by a touring 

 car. The colored driver was not given 

 time enough to jump clear of the wreck 

 and was thrown with the car, but es- 

 caped without serious injury. 



Among the changes noted in the vari- 

 ous stores are reported the resignation 

 of Mrs. Supper from the employ of 

 George C. Shaffer and the employment 

 of Samuel Everett at the Dupont Flower 

 Shop, Edward Niedomanski, formerly 

 ■with George H. Cooke, now is engaged 

 at a steel plant. 



Clifford Wilson, who is employed at 

 the Fourteenth street store of the Wash- 

 ington Floral Co., is on the sick list. 



William Marche has secured a lease 

 covering the entire building at 731-735 

 Fourteenth street, northwest, Mr. 

 Marche has for a number of years oc- 

 cupied the corner store, the other two 

 being occupied by a photographer. 

 Upon getting the lease, Mr. Marche im- 

 mediately pushed back the side wall, 

 the additional space making a great 

 deal of improvement. 



In commenting upon the Philadelphia 

 and Lancaster flower shows, which he 

 attended last week, William F. Gude 

 said they were fine but he deplored the 

 fact that the retailers at both shows 

 were conspicuous by their absence. 



The sympathy of the trade is with 

 Mrs. Mary E. Freeman, who has a store 

 on Thirteenth street and is the owner 

 of a range of greenhouses here, on the 

 death of her daughter, Katharine Elisa- 

 beth, who passed away last week after 

 an illness of about three months. Miss 

 Freeman was the sister of Louis and 

 Joseph Freeman, who have beeo con- 

 ducting the business since the death of 

 their father, the late J. R. Freeman. 



Michael J. McCabe, of Anacostia,' D. 

 C, who operates a stand in the Center 

 market, has returned home. Mr. Mc- 

 Cabe had been forced to give up active 

 work because of a nervous breakdown 

 . and has been recuperating in New York. 

 His health is much improved. 



The monthly meeting of the florists' 

 Club last week was devoted largely to 

 a discussion of politics and the effect 

 of the election upon the District of Co- 

 lumbia. The prediction was made that 

 the forthcoming months will be more 

 prosperous. 



Thomas Knight, of Knight & Struck 

 Co., New York, is in Washington with 

 a number of men packing up the Briggs 

 orchid plants which the firm has just 

 acquired. It is stated by Mr. Knight 

 that by Christmas there will not be one 

 of these plants left in Washington and 

 this also means the end of orchid pro- 

 duction in this city. The collection
