Various Notes. 



Mrs. J. A. Philipps, "the flower lady 

 of Fourteenth street," was declared 

 the winner of the Lyric theater "popu- 

 lar lady contest," which terminated 

 last week. Mrs. Philipps, with nearly 

 30,000 votes, ran 11,000 votes ahead of 

 her nearest competitor. 



The members of the Washington-Bal- 

 timore party of florists, which has just 

 returned from the S. A. F. convention, 

 in relating the many delightful experi- 

 ences had in connection with the trip, 

 speak particularly of the time spent 

 in Kansas City, Mo., where they were 

 the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William L. 

 Hock at a banquet at the Muehlbach 

 hotel, followed by a theater party, and 

 on an automobile tour of the city. 



David J. Grillbortzer, of Alexandria, 

 Va., is cutting about 1,500 roses daily, 

 including fine Hadley, Ophelia, Killar- 

 ney Brilliant and White Killarney. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is contemplating 

 the erection of a building in which to 

 conduct the business now carried on 

 at 1214 H street, northwest. Since tak- 

 ing over the business of the Washington 

 Florists' Exchange, the firm has grown 

 rapidly and is fast finding itself 

 cramped for space. 



Henry Pfister, who has just returned 

 from Switzerland, is reported to have 

 commenced negotiations for a store in 

 the vicinity of Connecticut and Rhode 

 Island avenues, northwest. 



Stanley Holland, formerly at 2406 

 Eighteenth street, is now in his fine 

 new establishment at Eighteenth street 

 and Columbia road, northwest. 



Among the visitors of the week were 

 James W. Heacock, of Wyncote, Pa.;

The Market. 



Business has bettered considerably. 

 Gladioli still are being received, but 

 the Americas are smaller in size. Roses 

 were badly affected by the warm spell 

 last week, some of them being soft 

 and opening in a short time. Valley is 

 not in demand now, but the quality is 

 excellent. Harrisonise, oncidium and 

 cattleya orchids are fine. There is a
