arrangements for the annual club pic- 

 nic at Cunningham park, East Milton, 

 July 21. 



Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Dewar will sail 

 on a European trip June 26. William 

 J. Collins, of Carters Tested Seeds Co., 

 will make a journey to England and 

 Scotland at the same time. 



J. T. Slayter, of the A. Leuthy Co., 

 states that the flower store the com- 

 pany now operates as the Roslindale 

 Flower Shop did a wonderful Memorial 

 day business and that the first few 

 months' business was fine. At the 

 greenhouses the company is doing a 

 heavy business in bedding plants. 



There are glorious displays of Kal- 

 mia latifolia, mountain laurel, at the 

 Arnold Arboretum, in parkways and 

 on many private estates this week. Last 

 year the plants bloomed somewhat 

 sparsely, but this season both these and 

 rhododendrons are a mass of bloom. 



Demand for geraniums and other 

 bedding plants is strong at present and 

 it looks as if there would be little sur- 

 plus left over. Geraniums are selling 

 particularly well. W. N. C. 



Samuel Marksman has leased the 

 store at 16 Tremont street for a term of 

 years. He will conduct a florists' busi- 

 ness. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Washington florists are having rather 

 a hard time of it just now with an un- 

 usual shortage of stock. In previous 

 years at this time there has been a glut 

 of stock and business, aside from com- 

 mencements and June weddings, has 

 been dull. In other linos of business 

 in Washington the statement is made 

 that success in 1921 will come only to 

 him who fights for trade. The situation 

 is entirely different in the florists' 

 trade; business is coming to all of those 

 who can buy, beg, borrow or steal 

 enough stock to do business with. 



The full effect of the late frost is now 

 being experienced. In previous years 

 it has been possible to draw upon huge 

 stores of outdoor stock. The stock that 

 could be used to produce mass effects at 

 little cost is not now obtainable and 

 the retailers are dependent upon green- 

 house stock for their supply of flowers. 



Various Notes. 



"We are shorter of stock right now 

 than we were at any time during the 

 winter," said Adolph E. Gude, of Gude 

 Bros. Co., speaking of the demands 

 made upon the firm 's wholesale depart- 

 ment last week. "Our iceboxes are 

 practically empty and still we have or- 

 ders to be filled. There have been a 

 great many weddings that have de- 

 manded fine flowers; the recent airplane 

 accident that resulted in the death of 

 seven well known army officers and 

 civilians called for many funeral pieces, 

 and on top of that and the usual run of 

 business there have been a number of 

 school and college commencements, all 

 requiring flowers. Business would in- 

 deed be good if we only had more flow- 

 ers." 



The United States Supreme court has 

 upheld the legality of the tax imposed 

 by the government of the District of 

 Columbia under authority of Congress 

 upon all business houses having and 

 using vault space under public side- 

 walks. The florists, in common with
