The Florists^ Review 



September 4, 1913. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Business was at a low ebb last 

 week; in fact, the entire month of 

 August held little for the trade aside 

 from the usual run of funeral work. 

 The new crop of American Beauty 

 roses is in and they are of good quality. 

 The new crop roses of other varieties 

 are meeting with a better sale, due, 

 perhaps, to the difference, in the price. 

 Chrysanthemums have made their ap- 

 pearance and are being offered at about 

 $2 per dozen. Asters with 2-foot stems 

 are meeting with a ready sale and are 

 being used in large quantities for fu- 

 neral work. Dahlias are also among 

 the arrivals and are of fine quality. 

 It is said that this is the first summer 

 that Washington florists have been 

 able to obtain gardenias at all times. 

 Orchids are scarce. Carnations may be 

 had in all colors, although little can be 

 said of quality. Gladioli have been 

 plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Louise Daugherty, with George 

 G. Shaffer, is spending a month at her 

 home in Owingsville, Ky. George 

 Super, also at this store, with Mrs. 

 Super, is due to return to this city 

 within a few days, at the conclusion of 

 his vacation. 



Announcements have been received 

 of the marriage in Saint Patrick's 

 church, Montreal, of Francis C. Fleury 

 and Miss Babe Curran. Mr. Fleury was 

 for nine years with George C. Shaffer 

 and during his residence here made 

 many friends. He is now connected 

 with Campbell the Florist, who is lo- 

 cated in the Ritz-Carleton, in Mon- 

 treal. Charles Ley, brother of Harry 

 Ley, of this city, with whom, he was at 

 one time connected, but who is now 

 employed in Montreal, acted as best 

 man. Following the ceremony the 

 couple left to spend their honeymoon 

 in the White mountains. 



A cablegram from Europe announces 

 the safe arrival of Adolphus Gude and 

 Fred H. Kramer. C. L. L. 



Gardner, Mass.— Mrs. A. L Colburn 

 has just finished erecting a large rose 

 house and is installing a supplementary 

 boiler to meet the additional require- 

 ments. 



Worcester, Mass.— J. L. Moore, of 

 Northboro, and W. D. Ross and Mrs. 

 A. M. Forbes, of this city, were the 

 largest exhibitors at the meeting of the 

 Worcester County Horticultural So- 

 ciety, August 21.
