The Florists' Review 



JANOASX 21, 191S. 



WASHINOTON, D. O. 



The Maxket. 



With tlie exception of sweet peas, 

 carcissi and American Beauty roses, 

 the supply of all flowers last week was 

 materially lessened, and prices are a 

 little higher. The rainy days of the 

 «arly part of the week had a bad effect 

 ■on carnations and roses, and of the for- 

 mer thousands of splits are coming into 

 the market, while there is complaint of 

 mildew with respect to the latter. There 

 are enough gardenias to be had to fill 

 all demands; orchids are plentiful and 

 •quite cheap. The price on both single 

 and double violets has dropped to 50 

 and 75 cents per hundred. Good stevia 

 is to be had. Among the new arrivals 

 are cornflowers and freesias, both of 

 which are moving well. Valley is in 

 big demand, and lilies sell readily be- 

 cause of an increased amount of funeral 

 work. 



Various Notes. 



John H. Small, Jr., lias been reelect- 

 ed a director of the Farmers' & Me- 

 chanics' National bank and of the 

 Union Trust Co. William F. Gude will
