WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



It is expected that by the time the 

 last Christmas order has been filled the 

 florists of Washington will have re- 

 alized a successful holiday business. 

 The outlook up to a week before Christ- 

 mas was poor, but a multitude of ad- 

 vance orders coming in quickly changed 

 this aspect. Although there are more 

 blooming plants on the market this 

 year than last, it is believed every- 

 thing in that line will clean up well. 

 The stocks of cyclamens, begonias and 

 azaleas are the equal of any ever seen 

 in this locality and the advance sale 

 was heavy. However, according to 

 several of the growers, cut flowers will 

 be a gamble. Without doubt there will 

 be sufficient to supply all demands at 

 the usual Christmas prices, but the 

 weather of the last few days has not 

 been conducive to the production of 

 first-class stock. The pink roses are 

 decidedly off color. American Beauty 

 roses are expected to suffer a slight 

 decline over the previous year's prices, 

 because of a heavy crop in the eastern 

 markets. 



Various Notes. 



Among the visitors during the last 

 week were J. E. Peterson, of Cincin- 

 nati; G. G. Stumpp, of Stumpp & Wal- 

 ter Co., New York, and Joseph J. Goudy,

 partment of Agriculture, has left for

 Delaware and Maryland on business for 

 the department. Among other things 

 he will obtain material for the study 

 of water lily diseases. 



E. Brown, botanist in charge of the 

 seed testing laboratories of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, has gone to 

 New York to consult with the custom 

 house officials on matters concerning the 

 importation of seeds under the seed im- 

 portation statute. 



William F. Gude has been nominated 

 as a member of the board of directors 

 of the Chamber of Commerce, to take 

 effect upon the completion of his term 

 as president of that organization. 



A negro deliveryman temporarily em- 

 ployed by the Washington Florists Co. 

 has been arrested charged with the lar- 

 ceny of a diamond ring, the property of 

 Miss Alice Craemer. 



The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. is 

 planning to add an automobile delivery 

 service and with this in view has 

 secured a permit to remodel the store. 

 A garage is to be built in the section 

 at the rear of the large iceboxes.
