The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBEB 19, 1014. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



The weather has been so warm that 

 the demand for flowers has been stifled 

 and were it not for the street men, the 

 growers would have but little outlet. 

 Chrysanthemums rule the market, but 

 the price on these is low, except in the 

 best grades, for which there is prac- 

 tically no demand. William Turner 

 could not be moved at $2 per dozen, 

 although of excellent quality. Sweet 

 peas are good and in fair demand. 

 Bouvardia was to be seen in all colors 

 last week, but few sales were reported. 

 Carnations have improved greatly in 

 both quantity and quality. The best 

 are bringing $2 per hundred. The mar- 

 ket is flooded with rubrum lilies, but' 

 no one wants them. Violets continue 

 scarce and are generally of poor qual- 

 ity. Paper Whites are more plentiful 

 and are offered at $3 per hundred, but 

 meet with little sale. The call for 

 valley has been good and the stock is 

 excellent. Among the newcomers of 

 the week was mignonette. 



Various Notes. 



The Noyes funeral last week served 

 to clean up the supply of cattleyas and 

 made necessary a number of large pur- 

 chases in other cities, also helping to 

 clean up valley to some extent, and 

 speeding up the sale of white roses. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 E. H. Flood, of Alco, Md.; J. J. Grulle- 

 mans, Jr., of Lisse, Holland, and Jo- 

 seph J. Goudy, George C. Watson and 

 C. S. Ford, all of Philadelphia. 



Gude Bros. Co. furnished an unusual 

 decoration recently in the form of an 

 old-fashioned country wedding, near 

 Dickerson Station, in the Sugar Loaf 

 mountains of Maryland. At the church 

 the entire ceiling was masked with au- 

 tumn foliage, and fir trees, evergreens 

 and southern smilax were used in large 

 quantities. The decorations of the 

 house were similar to those of the 

 church. At the rear a large room of 

 canvas was lined with fir trees, autumn 

 leaves and smilax. Cornstalks and 

 wheat and rye straw played a promi- 

 nent part. in the decorations. The work 

 was in charge of Will Smith and others 

 sent down from Washington, while the 

 whole was directly under the supervi- 

 sion of W. F. Gude. C. L. L.
