WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



The flower business ia this city has 

 been fairly good in spite of the con- 

 tinuance of cold weather. Boses of all 

 kinds are running rather scarce; conse- 

 quently high prices prevail. Good tea 

 roses are bringing $15 to $20 per hun- 

 'dred. Beauties are unusually scarce and 

 bringing fancy prices, ordinary 18-inch 

 to 20-inch stems $5 per dozen, long 

 fltems $9 to $12 per dozen. Azaleas, 

 lilac and all other blooming plants are 

 fine but on account of the cold weather 

 they do not move. Tulips and jonquils 

 go at $2 to $3 per hundred, violets at 

 50 cents. 



Variotfs Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club for February was well attended. 

 Chairmen of the various convention 

 committees all reported progress. The 

 flouvenir book for 1905 is in the hands 

 of Vice-president J. E. Freeman, who 

 brought a copy to the meeting for opin- 

 ion. The club was very much pleased 

 with the book, as well as the estimates 

 for printing. A committee was also ap- 

 pointed to receive and entertain the 

 •executive committee of the S. A. F. when 

 it meets here in March. Several other 

 •committees are resting on oars as they 

 are powerless to go further with their 

 work until after the executive committee 

 meeting. All members are notified that 

 the annual election of oflScers will take 

 place at our next meeting. 



Peter Bisset, of Twin Oaks, showed his 

 new rose. This is the result of a cross 

 between Liberty and Mme. Abel Chate- 

 nay. The color is intermediate between 

 the two parents, on first opening the 

 buds are a very deep pink, much darker 

 than Bridesmaid, and gradually fade 

 to the silvery pink of La France at its 

 best. The originator says it is a free 

 grower, sending up fine stems with good 

 large flowers. F. H. K. 



Des Moines, Ia. — An explosion of 

 gasoline 'in the engine room at J. F. 

 Marshall's on February 13 threatened 

 the destruction of the establishment but 

 the greenhouses were saved.
