SOMETHING NEW 



In presenting our newly patented Self-locking Dirt Band and 



Pot, we are pleased to offer something worth while. The many ob- 

 jections to the ordinary plain paper or glued bands urged us to pro- 

 duce something better. In producing the 



RAMSBURQ SELF-LOCKINQ BAND AND POT 



we have reached perfection. They are easy to set up. are self-locking and con- 

 tain no glue to become sour and invite fungous or insect pests. They are strong 

 and substantial and can be used wherever a pot is needed. Both the bands and 

 pots are made of cardboard, in sizes for every reauirement, and are priced as 

 low as the paper market will allow. Send a postal for free samples and prices. 

 We are manufacturing bands and pots at the rate of two million a week, and 

 prompt shipments are guaranteed.

WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Conditions in the Washington flower 

 market last week showed a change for 

 the better. The wholesalers and grow- 

 ers were able to clean up more closely 

 each day. The prices did not show an 

 advance, although on an average the 

 returns have been better. In some 

 lines the supply has kept pace with 

 the demand. Chrysanthemums have 

 lost a part of their hold on the market. 

 Prices, which have remained fair, now 

 have a tendency to advance. 



The sale of violets has improved 

 greatly and these are being marketed 

 in larger quantities than heretofore, 

 with singles the most popular. Cypri- 

 pedium has made its appearance. Cat- 

 tleyas have been scarce and the price 

 has advanced slightly. 



The price of roses has gone up a lit- 

 tle, although wholesalers and growers 

 claim that they are not bringing their 

 actual worth. They are beginning to 

 sell better now that chrysanthemums 

 are nearing an end. American Beauty 

 roses liave been selling well, with the 

 supply slightly in advance of the de- 

 mand. The colored roses are showing 

 up fine. Valley is scarce and poor. 

 Carnations have improved both in quan- 

 tity and quality and longer stemmed 

 stock in white and colors is obtainable. 

 The number of Paper Whites on the 

 market is not large, but these flowers 

 are not taking well as yet. There is 

 practically no demand for Easter lilies. 



Various Notes. 



The next regular meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club of Washington, D. C, will 

 be held Tuesday evening, December 5, 

 at 1214 F street, northwest. 



A number of Washington florists 

 have signified their intention of enter- 

 ing their automobile delivery cars in 

 the monster parade which, with appro- 

 priate pageantry, will inaugurate 

 "America's electrical week," begin- 

 ning December 2. George C. Shaffer 

 will have two handsomely decorated 

 cars in the parade. The Gude Bros. 

 Co. and Fred H. Kramer also will have 

 a number of automobiles that will meas- 

 ure up well as prize-winners. 



A new member of the "Order of the 

 Fordowners" is Otto Bauer, manager 

 of the Washington Branch of the S. S. 

 Pennock-Meehan Co. 



Washington's growers have been 

 somewhat handicapped by the vagaries 

 of the weather. New records were 

 made last week when on one day the 



PLANT TUBS 



EVERLASTING VIRGINIA WHITE CEDAR

 I everlastingr Virginia White Cedar will

 mercury dropping and there have since 

 been several heavy frosts with light 

 coatings of ice in the low country.
