The Florists' Review 



Fbbbuabz 25, 1915. 



WASHINOTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Lent has caused business to fall off 

 greatly, and there is a dearth of funeral 

 work. Eoses and carnations are not 

 overplentiful, but the supply of all 

 other flowers exceeds the demand. 

 Prices have sagged somewhat. There 

 are too many daffodils on the market, 

 and the price has dropped from $4 per 

 hundred to $2.50 for the best. Nar- 

 cissi bring but $1.50 and $2, and white 

 and yellow tulips are cheaper. Orchids 

 are getting scarcer, but there is little 

 demand for them. Cattleya TriansB is 

 now in the market and is offered at 

 $6 per dozen. The sale of mignonette 

 is slow at from $2 to $4 per hundred. 

 The slow selling of forget-me-not has 

 brought the price down to 25 cents per 

 bunch of from twelve to fifteen sprays. 

 There is little call for freesia or for 

 yellow and white daisies. Calla lilies 

 are more plentiful, and more Easter 

 lilies are to be had than there is call 

 for. 



Various Notes. 



It is reported that William and John 

 Sharper have bought out M. J. Hen- 

 drick, of Oxon Hill, Md., and that Her- 

 bert and Al Sharper will soon erect sev- 

 eral houses at Silver Hill, Md. All four 

 of these boys have been in the employ 

 of Gude Bros. Co. for a number of years 

 as growers in the various houses. They 

 will handle a miscellaneous stock. 



"William F. Gude is chairman of the 

 citizens' committee which is to make 

 arrangements for the forty-ninth anni- 

 versary encampment of the Grand Army 

 of the Potomac, to be held here Sep- 

 tember 27 to October 2. Associated 

 with him on the committee is John Hen- 

 ry Small, of J. H. Small & Sons. 



The food and flower show held at 

 the Center Market last week has been 

 pronounced a complete success and the 

 participants therein have expressed a 

 willingness to have it continue. It is 

 estimated that fully 100,000 people vis- 

 ited it during the week and with good 

 results. There are about a dozen flower 

 stands here, and all of these were at- 

 tractively decorated for the occasion. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 Bichard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, 

 Md.; O. C. Knoble, Cleveland, O.; E. H. 

 Flood, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Mr. 

 Kynsburger, of Eynsburger Bros., Lisse, 

 Holland. 



At the next regular meeting of the 

 Florists' Club of Washington, to be 

 held Tuesday evening, March 2, at 1214 

 F street northwest, it is planned to re- 

 peat the motion-picture exhibition. There 

 will also be the annual election of offi- 

 cers. C. L. L.
