The Florists' Review 



August 7, 1913. 



THE FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE OF AMERICA 



To our Western Friends: 



You are a splendid body of progrressive business men and 

 women. You are rapidly advancing the name of florists in 

 the respect of the people of your communities. We know this. 

 We are going to pay you the compliment of taking to the S. 

 A. F. and O. H. Convention in Minneapolis the most wonderful 

 collection of florists' supplies ever seen anywhere in the whole 

 world. It has cost us a lot to gather this collection together. 

 It will cost us a lot to exhibit them in Minneapolis. We will 

 feel well repaid for the outlay if you make it a point to meet 

 us there and carefully study our display. You will feel amply 

 repaid. Hoping to see you in the Exhibition Hall at Minne- 

 apolis, Minn., August 19, 1913, we remain, cordially yours,

The Market. 



As is usual at this time of the year, 

 business is practically at a standstill. 

 There is plenty of stock to be had at 

 regular summer prices and less. Asters 

 are now in full supply, although a large 

 percentage are of an inferior quality 

 and sell at from $1 to $3 per hundred. 

 Some extra fine asters, with 2-foot 

 stems, are moving well up to $6 per hun- 

 dred. A few hundred carnations are 

 coming in daily. Orchids are scarce in 

 this market, but the call for them is 

 correspondingly light. 



Damage Done by Cyclone. 



Florists were among the heaviest 

 losers in the cyclone which struck this 

 city July 30. The Botanical' Gardens 

 suffered some loss, and a large percent- 

 age of the downtown firms were hit to a 

 greater or less extent. Among the 

 heaviest losers is George Fi^ld. About 

 100 boxes of glass will be required to 

 replace that broken by the hail and 

 the terrific wind and air pressure. Mr. 

 Field was lucky not to have lost a large 

 part of his orchid crop. The plants were 

 chilled, but the wrapping of them in 

 cotton prevented heavy Toss. One of 

 the largest rose houses, in full bloom, 

 was totally destroyed. This will not be 

 replaced, at least at present. Every- 

 where can be heard expreseions of sym- 

 pathy for Mr. Field and the others who 

 were caught by the storm. 



The large plate glass window on the 

 H street side of the store of Z. D. Black- 

 istone was first split horizontally. A 

 second wind dropped the upper section

of the glass back of the lower. A small- 

 er window at the corner was splintered 

 and all the window frames were more 

 or less strained. S. S. Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., on H street, also had its glass front 

 demolished and the rain blowing in 

 threatened to do damage to some of the 

 material which was on display in a 

 near-by case. 



Gude Bros. Co. reports that its loss 

 will amount to less than $200 at both 

 the Washington and Anacostia houses, 

 but William F. Gude 's residence at 1800
