 than ordinary grates, but the coal burns— it doesn't go into the

The Market. 



The growers of valley in this local- 

 ity are sending into the market only 

 half of the quantity of these flowers 

 that they have been accustomed to 

 shipping. There were a number of fair 

 sized wedding orders last week, and for 

 the first time since the end of June sev- 

 eral of the wholesalers sold completely 

 out on valley before all orders 

 were filled. Northern-grown American 

 Beauty roses are of good quality and 

 are meeting with fair demand consid- 

 ering the season. White roses sold well 

 all the week for wedding decorations. 

 There is considerable snapdragon to 

 be had, but practically no demand for 

 it. Gladioli are selling better, but prac- 

 tic^ally without price. The supply has 

 decreased greatly. Plenty of good as- 

 ters are to be had, but even the best 

 of these fail to bring a good price. 

 Bubrum lilies were here last week for 

 the first time this season. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pfister have re- 

 turned to Washington from a long stay 

 in Switzerland. Mr. Pfister was for- 

 merly engaged in the retail flower 

 business on Connecticut avenue, and it 

 is said that it is his intention to re- 

 open in this city as soon as he finds a 

 suitable location. 



The store of the Leo Niessen Co., at 

 1214 H street, northwest, has just been 

 repainted and redecorated throughout 

 in preparation for a busy fall season. 

 Part of the front of the store has been 

 railed off for oflBce purposes, and it is 

 planned to increase the number of em- 

 ployees. An automobile truck will be 

 added. 



Milton Bedman has returned from a 

 vacation spent at Atlantic City, N. J. 

 Miss Minnie E. Shea enjoyed a pleas- 

 ant trip to Springfield, Mass., and oth- 

 er points near by in New England. 

 Both Mr. Bedman and Miss Shea are 

 employees of the S. S. Pennock-Mee- 

 han Co.

 in the District Supreme court against 

 the former owner of the property at 

 Fourteenth and I streets, northwest, 

 where he conducts a retail flower store, 

 for the recovery of $20,000 damages for 

 alleged breach of covenant. He states 

 that he leased the store for a period of 

 three years from February 15, 1913, and 

 by the terms of the covenant the de- 

 fendant agreed not to sell the premises 

 without first giving him an oppor-

 was disposed of without the stipulated 

 opportunity being given him. He sues 

 for a further sum of $1,000 covering
