of the decoration lay in the genuineness 

 of the forest in which the affair was 

 held. A special agent was dispatched 

 up-state to select and superintend 

 the cutting and packing of two whole 

 carloads of hemlock and spruce. They 

 were brought to the hotel and carefuUj' 

 set up in the ballroom, where the dinner 

 was held, with an artist's eye for effect. 



Various Notes. 



When Robert Craig saw the new 500- 

 foot shed just erected X)n his company's 

 place at Norwood he expressed the de- 

 sire that the men who built the Penn- 

 sylvania railroad sheds might come to 

 see it. 



Raymond Kester, of the Williams- 

 port Floral Co., Williamsport, Pa., was 

 welcomed by his friends in this city. 



C. L. Peterson, of the Tunlin Paint 

 Co., has received a letter from a lead- 

 ing citizen of Fort Worth, Tex., telling 

 him that a recent hail storm following 

 excessive heat had knocked off the 

 paint of all the buildings in Fort 

 Worth, excepting only those painted 

 with Tunlin paint. Mr. Peterson says 

 the heat dried and cracked and the 

 hail stripped off the other paints, but 

 that Tunlin had the stuff in it and 

 stood the test. 



John Walsh happened to be in New- 

 ark, N. J., with the H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co. traflQc car last week. A good sales- 

 man generally happens to go to a given 

 place at the right time. The Newark 

 show was on that week. The managers 

 insisted on an exhibit. So now H. Bay- 

 ersdorfer & Co. have a blue ribbon in 

 token of first prize for their florists' 

 supplies.

 and their owners are: William J. Baker, 

 Mikado and fancy mignonette; at A.

R. Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, Md., 

 delivered the first of a series of lectures 

 before the Pennsylvania society Tues- 

 day afternoon, November 21. The sub- 

 ject was geraniums, handsomely illus- 

 trated. 



Carl Gloeckner, of the Henry F. 

 Miehell Co., went to New York Novem-

 WASHINGTON. D. 0. 



The Market. 



The first killing frost of the season 

 hit Washington last week and put out 

 all the outdoor bunch chrysanthemums 

 and other outdoor stock. At the same 

 time the supply of roses and carnations 

 shortened to an appreciable extent and 

 buyers were forced to go from whole- 

 saler to wholesaler and to call on the 

 various growers. 



Up to last week carnations hung fire 

 and prices were low, but it is an easy 

 matter now to get $3 per hundred for 

 them. There has not been a great 

 increase in the price of roses, but these 

 also will gradually go up. Among the 

 new arrivals of the week are narcissi. 

 These, however, are not in much de- 

 mand. Some good white and yellow 

 daisies are being offered. There are 

 few Easter lilies, but there is little call

for them, or for the callas and rubrums, 

 which have just made their appearance. 

 Sweet peas and violets have become 

 more popular since the coming of the 

 cool weather and the same may be said 

 of the miniature roses, which are sell- 

 ing in fair quantities, but at low prices. 

 A bit of color was given last week 

 by ruscus and red immortelles and from 

 now on these will sell quite heavily.
