feet of piping, arc to be dismantled by 

 order of the receiver. Judge Herbert W. 

 Eathbun. This business went into the 

 hands of a receiver several months ago 

 and a fortnight ago the estate was of- 

 fered in five parcels at auction. At that 

 time the greenhouses were bid in by 

 the Washington County Trust Co., one 

 of the heaviest creditors. 



The annual chrysanthemum show at 

 Hazard Memorial hall, South Kings- 

 town, November 7, was successful. The 

 exhibits were well arranged and some 

 fine specimens were shown. There was 

 a large attendance. W. H. M.

The Market. 



Market conditions are normal again. 

 The regular supply of all seasonable 

 stock is coming in and is fairly well 

 taken. Chrysanthemums are plentiful, 

 but there is not an oversupply. The 

 chrysanthemum season is somewhat 

 mixed this year. The warm weather is 

 bringing the late varieties in with the 

 mid-season varieties. "White and yellow 

 Turner predominate at present. There 

 are also white and pink Chieftain and 

 white Eager. Bonnaffon and Marigold 



are the most attractive yellows at 

 present. The outdoor pompon chrysan- 

 themums are about out. They escaped 

 the frost entirely this year. Diana is 

 the most popular of indoor pompons. 



The demand for roses is not so great, 

 though they have not been better any 

 time this season. Unusually fine Eussell 

 are to be had, also Hoosier Beauty and 

 Hadley, Eussell bringing from $2 to 

 $4 per dozen, and Hadley from $8 to 

 $20 per hundred. Killarney Brilliant, 

 My Maryland and Ophelia can be had at 

 from $4 to $10 per hundred. Aaron 

 Ward and Golden Gem have both been 

 popular this fall. White roses can be 

 had in any quantity and are going beg- 

 ging. Cattleyas sold well all the week 

 at $9 per dozen. Sweet peas are more 

 plentiful and have longer stems. They 

 can be had at from $1 to $2 per hundred. 

 Easter lilies find little sale. 



Various Notes. 



The annual mum show of the U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture has not been 

 opened to the public this year, the first 

 time in fifteen years. The district health 

 officer ruled that the show could not be 

 held on account of the influenza epi- 

 demic. Superintendent Byrnes enter- 



tained some friends and of&cials of the 

 department at a private view. 



At the monthly meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, held Tuesday, November 5, 

 at the store of Gude Bros. Co., 1214 F 

 street, it was suggested by the president, 

 Z. D. Blackistone, that the florists in 

 Washington and throughout the country 

 put a victory corsage bouquet on the 

 market as soon as the armistice terms 

 with Germany were signed, or as soon as 

 peace is declared. When the false ru- 

 mors that the armistice had been signed 

 came, a number of the stores made dis- 

 plays in the windows of victory corsage 

 bouquets. The most attractive ones 

 contained a white chrysanthemum and 

 some red roses, tied with blue ribbon; 

 son^e were made with various flowers 

 and tied with the national colors; others 

 with a small American flag in the bou- 

 quet. The victory bouquet is undoubt- 

 edly a good suggestion.
