The Market. 



The c.'uly spring and warm weather 

 have made a strong impression on stock 

 in gencraL Cut flowers were extremely 

 plentiful last week. Carnations are 

 abundant and the quality is fine at $6 

 per hundred. Sweet peas are better 

 than they have been this season and 

 are offered in any quantity at $15 per 

 thousand. Bulbous flowers are of good 

 quality and the large supply has been 

 used lip at a fair price. Daffodils have 

 flooded the market. Some are being 

 brought in from outdoors, besides the 

 steady flow of stock from the south. 



Hydrangeas made their appearance 

 last week and rose bushes and lilacs 

 help to decorate every store. 



American Beauties are plentiful and 

 the outlook is for a large supply for 

 Easter. Premier, Columbia and Dunlop 

 are the best in roses. Some fine stock 

 is offered by local growers. Owing 

 to the warm weather, Easter lilies are 

 more plentiful than usual. There will 

 be a large supply of calla lilies for 

 Easter. 



Various Notes. 



Eight representatives from Gude 

 Bros. Co. availed themselves of the rare 

 opportunity to see the New York flower 

 show. 



Most of the flower stores were busy 

 last week supplying quantities of ferns, 

 palms and baskets, which do so much 

 to beautify the Convention hall and 

 make the automobile show a success. 



George Shaffer was busy with decora- 

 tions and funeral work last week. 



The stock at the greenhouses of the 

 Washington Floral Co. is in excellent 

 condition for Easter. This firm ex- 

 pects to cut a large number of orchids, 

 as well as many roses and carnations. 



Sunday, March 20, was "open house" 

 at the greenhouses of Gude Bros. Co., 

 at Anacostia. Thousands of people 

 availed themselves of the opportunity. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 George D. Beaumont, of Seattle, Wash., 

 and Emory W. Brandt, of York, Pa. 



Jacquelin Bector & Sons, of McLean, 

 Va., have been bringing in some fine 

 bulbous stock, including Darwin tulips 

 in all colors. G. A. E.
