WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



The market last week showed a won- 

 derful improvement and stock sold at 

 much better prices. The sudden change 

 in the temperature had worked havoc 

 in many lines, but the cool weather has 

 resulted in the production of some ex- 

 ceptionally fine dahlias. Carnations 

 are improving and^re in salable shape, 

 bringing about $2 pfir hundred. Orchids 

 are overplentiful. There is little sale 

 for these flowers at this time of the 

 year and the price has fallen consid- 

 erably. White roses, while not over- 

 plentiful, are obtainable in suflBcient 

 quantities to meet all demands. On 

 the whole, roses are poor, on account of 

 elimatic conditions. This fact makes 

 the northern asters, which appeared for 

 ihe first time last week, all the more 

 welcome. They are coming into the 

 market in large quantities, but are 

 cleaning up well on account of heavy 

 funeral work. White, yellow and pink 

 chrysanthemums are now to be had in 

 far better quality, while the quantity 

 is increasing. 



Various Notes. 



Adolphus Gude, Jr., who has been 

 spending the summer vacation on the 

 Bweet pea ranch of A. C. Zvolanek. 

 Lompoc, Cal., has returned to Wash- 

 ington to resume his studies. While in 

 the west he visited both of the ex- 

 positions and on leaving for Washing- 

 ton visited several of the large cities, 

 as well as spending some time in the 

 Grand Canyon of Colorado. 



George H. Cooke furnished four hand- 

 some pieces for the State Department 

 for the four men who lost their lives 

 on the submarine F-4, who were buried 

 in Arlington cemetery last week. 



Fred H. Kramer has been receiving 

 large quantities of bulbs from Holland, 

 another shipment having reached him 

 last week. 



Among the visitors in Washington 

 who came to participate in the en- 

 campment of the Grand Army were 

 A. A. Reed, of Whitman, Mass.; U. 

 Cutler Eyerson, of Newark, N. J.; 

 Emma Baumer, of Louisville, Ky., and 

 H. B. Euppert, of Boston. 



The encampment of the G. A. E. 

 came to a close October 2, after a week 

 of extensive entertainments. Fully 50,- 

 000 visitors were in Washington for 

 the occasion. All are loud in their 

 praise of the good work done by the 

 citizens' committee which handled the 

 arrangements. At the head of this com- 

 mittee was William F. Gude, who was 

 on the job day and night for more 

 than three weeks, supervising all of 

 the details in person. It is planned 

 that the appreciation of the citizens of 

 Washington of his efforts shall take 

 the form of some fitting testimonial, 

 the plan for which is already under 

 way. Associated with Mr. Gude were 

 George H. Cooke, president of the Flo- 

 rists' Club; Fred H. Kramer, and 

 others, while O. A. C. Oehmler was 

 prominent among the Sons of Veterans, 

 who acted as an escort for the old sol- 

 diers and were otherwise engaged in 

 making their stay in this city a pleas- 

 ant one. 0. L. L.
