WASHINGTON. 



Tbe Market. 



A drop in the temperature of from 

 100 degrees to about 54 degrees caused 

 a shortening up of the rose supply. 

 Due to the cold, many of the growers 

 have been forced to start steam in the 

 houses. This is unprecedented in this 

 section, for ordinarily the growers 

 would not have started their fires for 

 several weeks. The call for American 

 Beauty roses last week was slightly 

 heavier than it has been. Carnations 

 are coming in better shape, the blooms 

 being larger and the stems longer. The 

 production and call for yellow and 

 white chrysanthemums both have in- 

 creased to quite an extent. A majority 

 of the stores are now holding their an- 

 nual fern and palm sales and all report 

 good business. The sales at the Gude 

 and the Kramer stores are perhaps 

 larger this year than ever and the stock 

 is exceptionally good. 



Various Notes. 



The local florists have picked out Sep- 

 tember 30 as the day on which they will 

 visit the annual show at White Marsh, 

 Md., held by B. Vincent, Jr., & Sons 

 Co. The bowling club is going and will 

 doubtless have an opportunity of trying 

 its skill against the Baltimore team on 

 the return from White Marsh. It is 

 expected that a larger number of Wash- 

 ingtonians will this year make the trip 

 than ever before. 



Mr. and Mrs, Elmer C. Mayberry 

 have returned from a vacation spent at 

 Piney Point, Md. 



Among the visitors in town last week 

 were Will Eehder, of Wilmington, N. 

 C; Robert Shoch, with M. Rice Co., 

 Philadelphia; Mr. Flood, of Hammond- 

 ton, N. Y.; Charles McCarthy, with Car- 

 )t)one, of Boston, and J. Prentice Brown, 

 who formerly visited this territory for 

 Kohn, Adler & Co., Philadelphia. 



Mrs. Beatrice Moss has just returned 

 from a vacation cohering several weeks, 

 speJat at Ridge, Md. 



The death of C. Ponnet, of Alexan- 

 flria, Va., is reported in thd obituary 

 column this week. C. L. L. 



WUliamsport, Pa. — The Williamsport
