The Rorists^ Review 



May 6, 1920 



WASHINGTON, D. 0. 



The Market. 



Business was satisfactory last week 

 and now that the railroad strike is over 

 out-of-town orders are arriving fast. 

 During the first part of the week a lit- 

 tle scarcity of greens was felt, but the 

 supply has shown a good improvement 

 in the last few days. The rose supply 

 is good in quality as well as in quan- 

 tity and the prices range from $6 to $20 

 per hundred. Carnations and sweet 

 peas are still arriving in large quanti- 

 ties. Lilac and exochorda are also in 

 abundance. 



The enormous order for the Piggly 

 Wiggly Stores, Inc., has taken all kinds 

 of stock off the streets. This order 

 called for 125,000 blooms and it was 

 handled by several of the local florists. 

 It was the largest cut flower order ever 

 placed in this city. The Piggly Wiggly 

 Stores, Inc., opened Thursday, May 6, 

 and these flowers were distributed to 

 the customers at each of the twenty- 

 five stores. In the neighborhood of 

 .5,000 blooms were given out at each 

 store. 



Orders for Mothers' day are piling 

 up and predictions have been made that 

 this will be the largest Mothers' day in 

 the history of the florists' business. 



Various Notes. 



The florists will remain open Sunday, 

 May 9, in order to supply the public with 

 sufficient flowers for Mothers' day. 

 Several members of the trade are get- 

 ting together in a movement to donate 

 all of their profit on this day to some 

 charitable institution. This idea was 

 originally advanced by Z. D. Black- 

 istone. 



Miss Louise Comley, daughter of 

 George A. Comley, was married to Eoy 

 Wilson, of the United States Depart- 

 ment »f Agriculture, April 28. The 

 decorations and electrical display could 

 not be praised too highly. G. V. S.
