houses report an added demand for pan- 

 sies and old-fashioned flowers. These 

 were bought by the women for personal 

 adornment. Small roses were also in 

 demand. 



The sale of locally grown roses has 

 been quite good. Prices have ranged 

 from $4 per hundred for short-stemmed 

 stock to $20 for good grades. Hadley 

 brought up to $40 per hundred. 



The quality of sweet peas is not so 

 good as it was prior to Easter. They 

 can be had in quantities at $1.50 per 

 hundred. Bulbous stock is about at an 

 end, but there are still some extra fine 

 Darwin tulips offered at low prices. 

 Stock that has been bringing $12 per 

 hundred has dropped to $8, with lower 

 levels in prospect. There are also some 

 excellent Murillo to be had, and a few 

 good Narcissus poeticus are coming into 

 Washington from the south. They are 

 offered at $1 per hundred, but meet with 

 little or no demand. 



Carnations have been plentiful since 

 Easter, but are not selling well. Some 

 have brought as high as $6 per hundred, 

 but one can get all the carnations de- 

 sired at $4 and $5. Lilac flooded the 

 market around Easter time, but the sup- 

 ply has eased up considerably just when 

 there is a good demand for it. A con- 

 siderable stock of good delphinium is to 

 be had at $2.50 and $3 per bunch. This 

 is a popular flower locally and usually 

 sells well. Huge quantities of calen- 

 dulas are brought into the market daily 

 and go out again via the trash piles, for 

 there is little demand for this flower. 



Various Notes. 



Gude Bros. Co. supplied about thirty 

 large wreaths for that number of state 

 delegations to the D. A. R. convention. 

 These wreaths were placed upon the 

 grave of America's unknown dead in 

 Arlington cemetery. This company had 

 a stand in the basement of the D. A. R. 

 convention hall, where two men were 

 constantly on hand, making corsage bou- 

 quets.
