planted by some exceptional stock from 

 the north. Easter lilies are still scarce 

 and bring $20 per hundred. Dahlias are 

 to be had now in good quality. Some of 

 the new varieties, including Autumn 

 King, Flaming and a few of Vincent's 

 Patrick O'Mara, have made their ap- 

 pearance, but not in sufficient quanti- 

 ties to amount to anything. However, 

 they look promising for another year. 

 Gladioli are about at an end, although 

 fair spikes are being received from 

 northern points and these sell at $6 and 

 $8 per hundred. Carnations are looking 

 better, owing to the cool weather, but a 

 return of hot days threatens to set the 

 stock back again. Some lily of the val- 

 ley is obtainable at $10 and $12 per 

 hundred for wedding work. The qual- 

 ity is good. Few orchids are seen, but 

 no thought is given to their absence. 

 Eubrum lilies are about at an end. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. B. W. Ilderton, of the Palmetto 

 Nurseries, Florence, S. C, visited Wash- 

 ington last week. 



Wilhelmina Gude, youngest daughter 

 of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Gude, broke 

 her arm in two places last week while 

 swinging at her home, 3800 New Hamp- 

 shire avenue. 



Washington florists are to join with 

 merchants in other lines in an appeal 

 to Congress, to be made some time in 

 October, for the repeal of the law which 

 now imposes a rental tax on all who oc- 

 cupy space under sidewalks. The 

 United States Supreme court recently 

 held that this tax was a constitutional 

 one and the only way that relief can be 

 obtained is through appropriate action 

 by the senate and house committees on 

 the District of Columbia. Local mer- 

 chants use space beneath the sidewalks 

 for vaults for storage and other pur- 

 poses. Some years ago someone got the 

 idea that additional funds could be ob- 

 tained for the use of the District of 

 Columbia by placing a tax on such space 

 based on the footage thereof. This year 

 assessments totaling $70,000 will be 

 levied on the merchants and the lowest 

 individual assessment is $5. 



The term of office of William F. Gude 

 as rent commissioner of the District of 

 Columbia has been extended seven 

 months through the act of Congress pro- 

 longing the life of the commission that 

 length of time. The duty of the com- 

 mission is the adjustment of disputes 

 growing out of rentals for dwellings 

 and rooms here and was made necessary 

 by the rapacity of some of the land- 

 lords during the war, who took advan- 

 tage of the housing shortage to raise
