nation and commencement business, 

 which this year was quite satisfactory. 

 Wedding work continues fairly plenti- 

 ful, but is on the wane, and the florists 

 are now facing the heaviest part of the 

 annual summer slump. The social sea- 

 son has been something of a disappoint- 

 ment this year, although not more so 

 than was predicted by several of the 

 florists prior to the last presidential in- 

 auguration. The business of this year 

 has not been of the best and there cer- 

 tainly is much room for improvement in 

 this city. 



Various Notes. 



F. S. Good, formerly in the employ 

 of J. S. Nicholas, New York, and at 

 one time employed by Boston florists, is 

 now with F. H. Kramer, at the store 

 at 916 F street. 



William F. Gude and his brother, 

 Adolphus Gude, spent last week in Con- 

 necticut and New York, having gone to 

 the former state to act as judges at the 

 Hartford show and to visit a number of 

 growers in that vicinity. On the return 

 trip they will be the guests of a number 

 of growers in New York and on the 

 Jersey shore. 



William Plumb, superintendent of 

 floriculture: of the Panama-Pacific Ex- 

 position, was a visitor here last week. 

 While in town Mr. Plumb visited a num- 

 ber of stores and told of what was to be 

 done in the way of displays of flowers 

 in San Francisco. 



The burning of a pile of rubbish and 

 brush on the premises of J. H. Small, at 

 Fourteenth street and Rhode Island ave- 

 nue, northeast, necessitated the calling 

 out of the fire engines, although the 

 blaze was extinguished before it could 

 do much damage. 



Although it was Fathers' day in 

 Washington, June 21, it was hardly 

 noticeable and no flowers were worn in 

 honor of the provider of the home, liv- 

 ing or dead, and it was not found neces- 

 sary to increase the price of flowers 

 under the law of supply and demand.
