WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Business last week was at a low ebb, 

 as is usual just prior to and after the 

 Fourth of July. There has been an 

 oversupply of stock of all kinds and 

 much of this necessarily finds its way 

 to the trash heaps. It has been al- 

 most impossible to sell flowers on the 

 streets and even the street men are 

 complaining. There were a number of 

 small flurries during which the sale of 

 orchids, gardenias and lily of the val- 

 ley was good, but the retailers pur- 

 chase only such stock as they have ab- 

 solute need for. The market on roses 

 and carnations has been extremely 

 draggy, even the better grades at lit- 

 tle money hanging fire. Quantities of 

 exceptionally fine Easter lilies are find- 

 ing their way to Washington, but there 

 is no sale for these and shipments are 

 being discouraged. Outdoor sweet 

 peas are of better quality. Fine gladi- 

 oli are still to be had. The first of 

 the season's dahlias were seen last 

 week and a few short asters were of- 

 fered. There is no call for calendulas. 



Various Notes. 



Albert |J. Oliphant, who for more 

 than thirty-three years was connected 

 with the gardens and conservatories, 

 and for several years had been fore- 

 man of the grounds around the White 

 House, died last week after a long ill- 

 ness at hifl home at '<033 El'^venth 

 street, northwest. Mr. <lliphant was 

 about 54 years old. 



Felipe Guasp, a native of Guam, and 

 formerly employed by the Leo Niessen 

 Co., was sentenced to five years in the 

 penitentiary by Chief Justice Coving- 

 ton, and later placed on probation un- 

 der a suspended sentence. Guasp was 

 charged with forgery in connection 

 with the ordering of flowers from the 

 Philadelphia oflfice of the company. He 

 entered a plea of guilty. 



An invitation is being extended to 

 the florists of both Washington and 

 Baltimore to join Kallipolis Grotto, 

 Mystic Order of the Enchanted Realm, 

 a Masonic organization, in its annual 

 outing, to be held at Chesapeake Beach, 

 July 28. Many of the prominent flo-
