WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



The storm of Tuesday, August 3, 

 seems to have done but little damage in 

 and around Washington except to the 

 aster crop, although reports from 

 places farther south tell of the de- 

 struction of large quantities of out- 

 door stock. Washington could well do 

 without more than fifty per cent of 

 the asters now coming into the market. 

 This condition even exists with carna- 

 tions so poor that no one wants them 

 and dahlias scarce by reason of the ex- 

 treme heat. 



Prior to last week it had been al- 

 most impossible to move orchids, gar- 

 denias, valley and the better grades of 

 American Beauty roses, but funerals 

 have created a demand for these which 

 it was found extremely difficult to 

 meet. Valley sold well, and several 

 large orders were telegraphed to north- 

 ern producers. Good white roses have 

 been in demand, but there are thou- 

 sands of inferior quality and in colors 

 that cannot be disposed of at any price. 

 The growers are beginning to cut the 

 new crop, and much of the stock is 

 with such short stems as to be abso- 

 lutely worthless. Enormous quantities 

 of gladioli find their way into the mar- 



^®*- Vaxious Notes. 



The most important event of the 

 week, calling for exceptionally large 

 quantities of high-grade flowers, was 

 the funeral of the late William P. 

 Boardraan. There were more than fifty 

 high-class designs furnished by the 

 local florists. J. H. Small & Sons fur- 

 nished more than, half, and had charge 

 of the flowers both at the house and 

 the cemetery. William F. Gude, as 

 vice-president of the Emergency hos- 

 pital and successor of Mr. Boardman 

 to the presidency, was one of the hon- 

 orary pallbearers. 



Among those scheduled to attend the 

 convention of the S. A. F. are the fol- 

 lowing Washingtonians: Mr. and Mrs. 

 William F. Gude and their two chil- 

 dren, Amelia and Louis Gude; Theo- 

 dore Diedrich, and Mr. and Mrs. Chris- 

 tian Schellhorn. Adolph Gude, Jr., is 

 already in California and will join the 

 party on its arrival. 



Frank Good, manager of the F 

 street store of F. H. Kramer, had an 

 unpleasant experience during the storm 

 of August 3, when he and a friend were 

 driven almost to Colonial Beach in a 

 30-foot cabin launch. Just before the 

 storm broke, a piece of rope became 

 tangled in the propeller, and later 

 when the 40-mile wind hit them, the 

 steering gear jammed and the chain 

 broke. They spent the greater part of 

 the night drifting along, and next day 

 were towed back to Washington. 



James Dalgleish, with J. H. Small & 

 Sons, accompanied by Mrs. Dalgleish 

 and their daughter, is spending a 

 month's vacation in Arlington, Vt.
