The Market. 



The last week has been a good one, 

 considering the season of the year, for 

 a number of funerals of important per- 

 sons brought considerable business to 

 the trade. This called for large quan- 

 tities of orchids and valley. Roses are 

 not so plentiful as they have been and 

 there -has been little improvement in 

 quality, but they are in better demand. 

 Carnations are still plentiful but unde- 

 sirable. Asters formed a welcome addi- 

 tion to the market last week and those 

 brought in met with a good demand, 

 although having short stems. There is 

 some demand for gladioli at from $6 to 

 $8 per hundred and fair sales were 

 made of Peace gladioli at from $12 to 

 $15. There was a better movement of 

 American Beauty roses last week at 

 $1.50 and $2 per dozen. Sweet peas, in- 

 door grown, while plentiful, are not 

 being received in sufficient quantities 

 t6 supply the demand. There is little 

 call for Easter lilies and but small 

 quantities are being received in the 

 market. 



Various Notes. 



Mystery surrounds the theft of $965 

 from the safe in the office of the Wash- 

 ington Florists' Exchange, 1214 H 

 street, northwest. Manager Schnell had 

 told the police that the money was miss- 

 ing Friday, June 26, but when he 

 opened the safe on the following Sun- 

 day morning he found that the cash 

 had been returned. 



Two of the employees of the Gude 

 Bros. Co. last week joined the ranks of 

 the benedicts. One .of these, Frederick 

 D. Burch, is in charge of the rose sec- 

 tion at the Mount Olivet plant, while 

 the other, John Carroll, is in charge of 

 the American Beauty section at the 

 Anacostia houses. The former was mar- 

 ried June 30, to Miss Effie J. Adams at 

 St. Dominic's church. Mr. Carroll 

 started in at the Anacostia houses about 

 two years ago as a helper, at the age 

 of 19 years, and proved himself so effi- 

 cient as to be given charge of a section. 



Mr. and Mrs. William J. Vesey, Jr., 

 of Fort Wayne, Ind., and James Hea- 

 cock, of Wyncote, Pa., were visitors 

 here last week. 



Joseph Goudy has been making his 

 regular visit to the local stores.

MY MEMBERSHIP 



IN THE

 interested in increased 

 business for themselves 

 and brother florists.

ties in this city and has left for a va- 

 cation trip, which will not terminate 

 until August 1, on which date he be- 

 comes dean of the agricultural college 

 of Cornell University. He was recently 

 tendered a farewell reception at the Na- 

 tional Museum by several hundred offi- 

 cials and employees of the department, 

 many of whom expressed regret at his 

 resignation as assistant secretary. 



The severe storms with which this 

 city and the surrounding country have 

 been visited almost daily for the last 

 two weeks are doing considerable dam- 

 age to outdoor stock. The heavy rains 

 beat down the plants and even wash 

 them out, while the lightning is work- 

 ing havoc all along the line. One of 

 these storms was accompanied by hail 

 and some glass was broken. C. L. L.
