after having gone the rounds, placed an 

 order with the A. L. Bandall Co. for an

 Getzandamer, who operates the florist's 

 department of the W, C. Stufling Co.,

 in this market.

The Market. 



With the arrival of fair weather, the 

 quality and quantity of flowers of all 

 kinds have improved, but, coupled with 

 this condition, comes a slump in prices 

 that has made many varieties available 

 at the buyer's own price. Carnations, 

 that were scarce at $10 and $12 per hun- 

 dred, can now be obtained in any quan- 

 tity at $6 and $8, while sales have been 

 recorded at $40 per thousand. Snap- 

 dragons are in fair demand for table 

 decorations. There is a shortage of pink, 

 and yellow is not too plentiful, but 

 there is an oversupply of white. Prices 

 ran as high as $25 per hundred, but 

 plenty was to be had at $15. Boses are 

 good, but prices are down to a point 

 where it is rather discouraging to the 

 growers. American Beauties are not too 

 plentiful and these bring as high as $12 

 per dozen. Orchids are in heavy supply 

 and prices are low. Lilies of the valley 

 are not in much demand, either. 



The recent storm brought about a de- 

 moralization of this market. The snow 

 started flying late Friday afternoon, and 

 by the next day the roads in and around 

 Washington were impassable. Street car 

 traffic was badly hit and the train

schedules were literally knocked to 

 pieces. There were two results: First, 

 all flower shipments from out-of-town 

 points were delayed and the supply did 

 not make its appearance here until Mon- 

 day and Tuesday, when there was a 

 regular jam of flowers of all kinds. Sec- 

 ond, there were no people on the streets 



for several days, and retail sales were 

 few. 



The only relief from this situation 

 came through the large amount of fu- 

 neral work incident to the Knicker- 

 bocker theater disaster. All Washing-

 most of the social functions were imme-
