The Market. 



There was a complete reversal of 

 business conditions in this city last 

 week. Instead of being hard pushed to 

 secure enough stock to fill all orders, 

 the wholesale and commission houses 

 found all sorts of flowers coming into 

 the market in such quantities as to pro- 

 duce a glut. Up to the first part of 

 the week dahlias found a ready sale 

 and were received in safe quantities. 

 Now, regardless of quality, they fail 

 to find a purchaser. Cosmos is over- 

 plentiful and, with the market glutted 

 with it and dahlias, considerable diffi- 

 culty is experienced in marketing chrys- 

 anthemums. 



The carnation market is similarly hit. 

 It is hard to get even $3 per hundred 

 for carnations. The supply has in- 

 creased greatly. During the first two 

 weeks in October there were many oc- 

 casions when the dealers had to refuse 

 orders for valley and the price went to 

 $5 per hundred. Easter lilies were quite 

 scarce and often there were not enough 

 of these to fill all calls. This situation 

 also has changed. Valley has declined 

 to $1 per hundred and Easter lilies go 

 begging. Yellow daisies have again 

 made their appearance in small quanti- 

 ties and meet with occasional sales. 

 Single violets of local production are 

 now in fine shape and are bringing as 

 high aa 75 cents per hundred. The sup- 

 ply of roses is not heavy, but there are 

 enough to meet all demands. 



There was no great rush of business 

 last week, but the wholesalers were well 

 satisfied with results. A few large fu- 

 neral orders and wedding decorations 

 produced some activity at the retail 

 stores. Trade is amply up to the stand- 

 ard for this time of the, year. In all 

 probability business for October will 

 show an increase over the same month 

 of last year. 



Various* Notes. 



Walter Hawley, of the Gude Bros. Co., 

 visited New York last week, having 

 been placed in charge of several hun- 

 dred dollars' worth of funeral designs 

 representing tributes from this city to 

 the late Robert B. Ward. While in 

 New York, Mr. Hawley called at a num- 

 ber of the wholesale and commission 

 houses to get a line on market condi- 

 tions. 



Among the visiting florists and trav- 

 eling men who stopped at Washington 

 last week were William F. Kasting, 

 Buffalo, N. Y.j Henry C. Heilemann, 

 representing William B. Lake, of Phila- 

 delphia; S. Nusbaum, of Clarksburg, 

 W. Va., and Joseph J. Goudy, repre- 

 senting Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Phila- 

 delphia. 



Frederick H. Kramer is extending the 

 display window of his store at 916 F 

 street, northwest, an additional eleven 

 feet, taking in the entrance to the 

 upper floors of the building. This will 

 give him a large space for display pur- 

 poses. Mr. Kramer states that other 

 improvements will be commenced when 

 the work now in hand is completed. 



Frank Good, formerly manager of 

 the store of Frederick H. Kramer, re- 

 cently went to New York on a vaca- 

 tion. Apparently be became homesick 

 while there and decided to remain per- 

 manently. He has sent his resignation 

 to Mr. Kramer and is reported to have 

 secured a position with a firm by whom 

 he was formerly employed. C. L. L.

Now is tke Time to Bay your 

 HOT BED SASH 



We are the LarKest Manufacturers of 

 Hot Bed Sash in this country. 



All our sash are made of No. 1 Gulf 

 Cypress, free from sap and knots. 

 The bars are beveled at bottom to 

 admit extra light. 

 We tenon both ends of bars and 

 mortise into top and bottom pieces 

 of sash, which are also mortised 

 into stiles without the use of 

 wedges of any kind. 

 The cross-bar of wood is grooved 

 into the bars and mortised into the 

 stiles. 



The cross-bar of iron is •6/16x%, 

 also grooved into the bars and 

 stiles and screwed on same. 

 All sash are extra jointed before 

 leaving the factory. 

 No planing of edges is necessary 

 to make them fit perfectly when 

 laid side by side. 



We whitelead all joints before put- 

 ting the sash together, making it 

 last much longer. 

 We use special dowel pins, which 

 are made so that they cannot come 

 out. 



All pins are well sunk to prevent 

 rusting. 



We carry more Hot Bed Sash in stock 

 than any other concern, 



and make all odd sizes to order, painted 

 any color, glazed with any kind of glass. 



By having our lumber come direct to 

 us by schooner, we can guarantee our 

 customers that it is poaitively gulf 

 stock. 



When you begin to think of new sash, 

 and now is the time, write us for our 

 prices. We can save money for you. 



And when you think of a greenhouse, 

 no place in the U. S, is too far for us to 

 go and submit specifications and prices.
