The Market. 



The first falling off in sales in this 

 market was noted June 11, when the 

 mercury started to rise with the first 

 real signs of summer weather. Wash- 

 ington had been enjoying unprecedented 

 weather; outdoor flowers were slow in 

 maturing, and the cool days and nights 

 kept roses and carnations up to a high 

 standard. Several days of heat, how- 

 ever, produced a marked deterioration 

 in locally grown stock. 



White roses with long stems and good 

 foliage have been in marked demand, 

 but in insufficient supply. There has 

 been an excellent sale for American 

 Beauty roses. 



There has been an excellent supply 

 of carnations, ranging in price from 

 $1.50 to $4 per hundred. The higher 

 grades are well worth the money, but 

 they have been passed by for cheaper 

 stock because the retailers declare it 

 is impossible to get a better price than 

 50 cents per dozen for them. It seems 

 that certain stores have been using 

 carnations right along at this price as 

 leaders, and people have the idea that 

 more money is waste. It is getting to 

 the point where it hardly pays to pro- 

 duce good carnations, and if the condi- 

 tion continues, it is safe to predict the 

 killing of the demand. 



Valley is in good demand. Some 

 excellent outdoor sweet peas are to be 

 had. Cattleya gigas and Mossiaj are 

 in good demand. Dendrobium formosum 

 is scarce and miltonia hangs fire. 



Club Meeting. 



The members of the Florists' Club 

 of Washington, on the occasion of their 

 June meeting, held last week at 1214 F 

 street, northwest, were the guests of 

 the Washington Chamber of Commerce 

 at the closing meeting of that organi- 

 zation for the season. The speakers of 

 the evening were Hon. William Cox 

 Eedfield, of the Department of Com- 

 merce, and Hon. Koliang Yih, secretary 

 of the Chinese legation. The former 

 gave an interesting talk on the com- 

 mercial possibilities of Washington. 

 Secretary Yih spoke on the existing 

 relations between the two republics and 

 the opportunities for American firms 

 to capture a large share of the Chinese 

 trade. 



A committee, composed of O. A. C. 

 Oehmler, chairman; George W. Hess, 

 W. W. Kimmel, George C. Shaffer and 

 William Marche, was appointed to make 

 suitable preparations for an outing in 

 the near future. 



The members indorsed the movement 

 of the Detroit Florists' Club to beautify 

 that city through the use of window
