The Market. 



The demands made by Mothers' day 

 and the suffrage and anti-suffrage dem- 

 onstrations served to clean up the mar- 

 ket in fine shape last week. The former 

 created a great shortage of white car- 

 nations. Fired by the eloquence of 

 George H. Cooke, displayed at the May 

 meeting of the Florists' Club, the price 

 of these flowers was held down to a 

 minimum. Gude Bros. Co. sold their 

 entire production at $4 per hundred at 

 wholesale, while their retail price was 

 10 'cents each. In addition to this, upon 

 hearing that permission had been 

 granted the members of the police de- 

 partment to wear flowers, they sent, 

 without charge, a supply of both white 

 and colored carnations and when the 

 supply of the latter was exhausted, gar- 

 denias were substituted. In order to 

 fill all demands for white flowers, they 

 sold to their regular customers gardenias 

 at the same price they would otherwise 

 have paid for carnations. Mr. Cooke 

 sold all the carnations he could pick up 

 at anywhere near a fair price at 2o 

 cents per dozen at retail. When prices 

 soared last year it was said that such 

 action would quickly kill the whole 

 proposition. 



Club Meeting. 



George H. Cooke, president of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, roundly scored those com- 

 mission houses and growers who greatly 

 increase the price of carnations for 

 Mothers' day. At the regular monthly 

 meeting of the club, held at 1214 F 

 street, northwest, Mr. Cooke told the 

 members that this day is one full of 

 sentiment and should not be commercial- 

 ized. Mr. Cooke failed to get much sup- 

 port, one of those present stating that 

 he forgot sentiment when trying to 

 make a living. However, it was urged 

 that all members endeavor to induce 

 the observers of Mothers' day to pur- 

 chase other white flowers to wear in 

 memory of departed mothers and colored
