The Market. 



Stock generally was scarce last week, 

 following several rapid changes of 

 weather conditions. Carnations are 

 higher than at the same time in any of 

 the last few years. The shortage has 

 been marked since Thanksgiving day. 

 The cold weather lessened the supply of 

 roses, but those that are coming into the 

 market show a marked improvement in 

 quality. Narcissi have begun to come 

 into the market in large quantities and 

 the price has dropped. There are quite 

 a few yellow daisies. Sweet peas sell 

 as quickly as they are received. There 

 still are some good late chrysanthe- 

 mums, although the supply does not 

 equal the demand. There has been no 

 change in lily of the valley. There is 

 little of it selling, because of its high 

 price. Snapdragon is improving in 

 quality and is in somewhat better de- 

 mand. Stevia is good ajad sells fairly 

 well. Wholesalers are somewhat at a 

 loss to understand why the price of vio- 

 lets, both double and single, is so low. 



Large quantities of potted plants have 

 made their appearance and the outlook 

 for their sale is good. These have be- 

 come extremely popular in recent years 

 as Christmas gifts. 



Various Notes. 



Eobert Pyle, of West Grove, Pa., vis- 

 ited Washington last week at the invi- 

 tation of the Takoma Park Citizens' 

 Association. Mr. Pyle spoke on "The 

 Arlington Eose Gardens." 



William F. Gude has just been select- 

 ed as chairman of the illumination com- 

 mittee of the inaugural committee. This 

 is the position he held on the occasion 

 of President Wilson 's first inauguration. 

 His committee will have in charge the 

 entire additional lighting system of the 

 city. Mr. Gude states that he will select 

 his coworkers of the committee within a 

 few days. In all probability a number 

 of florists will be asked to serve with 

 Mr. Gude. 



An effort is being made in Congress, 

 under a bill introduced by Eepresenta- 

 tive Barnhart, of Indiana, to bring about 

 the freer sale of poisonous compounds 

 when intended for insecticidal use. The 

 bill proposes to exempt these from the 

 provisions of the District of Columbia 

 pharmacy law.

The lAarket. 



Clear, cold weather opened this im- 

 portant week, but business is seriously 

 threatened by light shipments, high 

 prices and a complete clean-up of bloom- 

 ing plants everywhere in this part of 

 the country. Never has such'a combina- 

 tion of obstacles to a successful Christ- 

 mas existed. 



The rose market is a serious problem. 

 The supply is far belOw the demand, 

 especially in the lower grades, and 

 prices are already as high as the usual 

 Christmas level. Many of the whole- 

 salers think they have already reached 

 their top. Everything now depends 

 upon increase in quantity and there is 

 no certainty of this until the holidays 

 are over. Last week American Beauties 

 were not overabundant and for some 

 choice flowers 60 cents was obtainable. 

 This figure also was offered for the long-

stemmed Hadleys. A high mark for the 

 present week probably will be 75 ccntt 

 for both varieties. Fine Eussells held 

 strong at 35 cents and Prima Donna at 

 25 cents, while Mock, Ophelia, Ward, 

 Stanley, Sunburst, Shawyer, Key ^ind 

 Killarney Brilliant all were quoted 8* 

 $12 to $15 per hundred December 16, 

 with a further rise anticipated. 



Carnations at the week end were heW 

 at 6 cents. The outlook for Christjn8« 

 is not encouraging. Some prediction* 

 are unreasonable, but a scarcity is '-C' 

 tain, and the reds may reach $15 P^'
