WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Business in Washington was slow last 

 week. Even the call for funeral work 

 slackened materially, and outside of a 

 few of the larger stores having fairly 

 big decorations in hand, there was lit- 

 tle doing in the cut flower line. 



Prices on roses have dropped ma- 

 terially since Easter, and they now 

 range from $4 to $20 per hundred. Co- 

 lumbia, Butterfly and Premier are the 

 favorites in the day's sales. American 

 Beauty roses are quite good and range 

 in price from $6 to $9 per dozen at 

 wholesale. 



Carnations are l)cginning to show the 

 effects of warm weather and are small 

 in size. Tlie top price has been $6, with 

 inferior stock selling in large quanti- 

 ties at as low ns $10 per thousand. 

 Sweet peas are exceedingly plentiful, 

 and there is n surplus each day except 

 in the purple and lavender shades. The 

 average price, regardless of color, is $10 

 per thousand. 



Darwin tulips List week came into the 

 market in heavy supply and moved at 

 an average of $8 per hundred. Some 

 few specials brought as high as $10 per 

 hundred. A few single violets entered 

 the m.arket and they sold well, for there 

 are always stores that find use for them. 

 This is late for the appearance of vio- 

 lets. They were priced at $7.50 per 

 thousand. Many delphiniums of extra 

 fine quality were sold at from $2 and 

 $2. .50 per bunch up. 



Potted plants have been selling well 

 since Easter. Despite the fact that 

 practically all of the available stock 

 was used up for Easter, enough has 

 since been found to meet this continued 

 demand. The plants as a whole are 

 quite good. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. William F. Gude, accom- 

 panied by their daughter, Wilhelmina, 

 left Washington Saturday. April 29, for 

 Detroit, Mich., where Mr. Gude attended 

 the meeting of the executive committee 

 of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery As- 

 sociation. 



Gude Bros. Co. achieved a great deal 

 of publicity recently when it furnished 

 a huge basket containing 100 American 

 Beauty roses, of the firm's prize-win- 

 ning type, and orchids, as an Easter 

 offering; to Presiilent Harding by one of 

 his admirers. 



Local police rcgvilntions governing 

 the sale of flowers and other merchan- 

 dise on the streets have been materially 

 clianged. Now it will not be possible 

 for the flower venders to sell from 

 baskets at given street corners. They 

 will have to keep moving or suffer ar-
