The Florists' Review 



August 19, 1915. 



WASHINQTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



About all that one sees in the mar- 

 ket at the present time are asters, gla- 

 dioli and roses. There is no let-up in 

 the supply of asters. The supply of 

 gladioli is slackening to some extent, 

 but the demand is decreasing also. 



The new crop of locally grown roses, 

 although still coming in with short 

 stems, shows great promise. Many 

 growers are this year trying out\ 

 Ophelia and Hadley, while others who 

 had heretofore felt that Radiance would 

 not find a place in the market are 

 planting houses with that variety. 



There is absolutely nothing doing on 

 carnations, for the few that are com- 

 ing in are hardly worthy of mention 

 and undesirable at any price. Easter 

 lilies are still plentiful and in little de- 

 mand. Orchids are out of the market 

 as far as Washington is concerned, and 

 it is difficult to get them from other 

 cities at a fair price. 



Various Notes. 



The members of the Florists' Club 

 of Washington are looking forward to 

 the next meeting, to be held Tuesday 

 evening, September 7, when they will 

 be the guests of Edward E. Schmid at 

 his annual crab feast. 



Henry Witt, of Silver Hill, Md., is 

 just in receipt of a letter from his 

 brother, Detlef Witt, who was engaged 

 in the florists' business with him for 

 nearly three years, but who returned in 

 July, 1914, to his home in Holstein, near 

 Hamburg, Germany, to take charge of 

 the large farm of their father. He was 

 drafted early this spring and is now 

 serving in a German regiment of in- 

 fantry around Biga, Russia. 



A letter from Brune, Switzerland, 

 states that if they have luck, Mr. and 

 Mrs. Henry Pfister will leave for Wash- 

 ington this week. Upon his return here, 

 Mr. Pfister will look over the field 

 preparatorjy^ to again engaging in the 

 retail business. Prior to sailing for 

 Europe he conducted a store on Con- 

 necticut avenue, northwest. 



Among the week's visitors were 

 Charles E. Barton, of Norwalk, O., and 

 Harry Quint, of Boston, Mass.
