WASHINaTON, D. 0. 



The Market. 



■ Out-of-town orders kept the florists 

 unusually busy last week, while local 

 business was a little slower, with the 

 exception of weddings and commence- 

 ments. The supply of sweet peas was 

 much better. Peonies are about gone. 

 The rose and carnation supply was fair 

 and a much larger demand for roses was 

 noticed during the latter part of the 

 week. Prices are about normal for this 

 time of the year. Many of the local 

 growers are making many improvements 

 and changes in their houses and are get- 

 ting ready for their chrysanthemum 

 crops. 



Various Notes. 



Can the "flower demons" of Wash- 

 ington, D. C, play ball? Just ask 

 Arthur Shaffer, manager of the local 

 team, and he will tell you about their 

 work at Kensington, Md., Sunday, June 

 27, where they played David Bissett's 

 team, which is one of the strongest 

 teams they have faced this year. With 

 Sam Maston on the mound and -Arthur 

 Shaffer taking them off the bat, the 

 local boys walked away with the game 

 at a score of 8 to 3. The teams were 

 evenly matched and the game was well 

 played throughout. Maston had his 

 famous snake ball working well. 



Plans for the annual meeting, which 

 will be held at Great Falls, are nearing 

 completion. This is expected to be one 

 of the largest affairs of the kind ever 

 given by the Washington Florists' Club.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL. 



The Market. 



A number of weddings and other so- 

 cial affairs have kept the demand equal 

 to the supply. All stock is used up 

 daily. The bedding plants are about 

 cleaned up, the season being much bet- 

 ter than usual. Extra good gladioli are 

 holding their own on the market. 



Various Notes. 



The Vandeveer-Strotz wedding at 

 Taylorville, 111., was one of the most 

 elaborate social affairs of the year. A. 

 C. Brown had the decorating order. The 

 ceremony was performed in a beautiful
