The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Hit 26, 1905. 



WASHINGTON. 



State of Business. 



Business looks very much as though 

 the season were nearing an end. Roses 

 of all kinds are becoming small and 

 have practically no value. Prices range 

 up to $4 per hundred for the best, al- 

 though quantities can be bought for as 

 low as $3 per thousand. Carnations are 

 holding up fairly well and sell at $1 

 per hundred. Sweet peas are fine, that 

 is, outdoor stock, but if warm weather 

 continues the season for them will be 

 very short, as all outdoor stock is suf- 

 fering for want of rain. From indica- 

 tions all stock will be scarce for Decora- 

 tion day. Peonies are at present in full 

 glory and moving fairly well at $1 per 

 dozen or $6 per hundred. 



Bedding plants of good quality seem 

 to be very scarce, hence in demand. 

 Quite a number of the new Baby Ram- 

 blers have been oflFered to the trade in 

 two-year-old sizes and in fine shape, but 

 they do not seem to take at the price 

 asked, $1 each. 



Various Notes. 



The various committees for the coming 

 convention are beginning to do active 

 work. The chairman of finance, J. R. 

 Freeman, has let the contract for the 

 souvenir book. From the proofs it prom- 

 ises to be the most handsome book ever 

 distributed at an S. A. F. meeting. The 

 engravings to be used are of public 

 buildings and surroundings of Washing- 

 ton, as well as the historical places 

 around Alexandria and Mt. VeTnon. 



On account of the busy season bowling 

 has been practically forgotten. The 

 chairman, Capt. Ernest, has called his 

 team together for work this week. No 

 doubt the boys need practice and lots 

 of it. F. H. Kramer, in charge of the! 

 ladies' team, started out with two in 

 line at the Palace alleys. With the as- 

 sistance of Capt. Ernest it required lots 

 of coaxing to get them even to go to the 

 alleys, but the result was not bad. For 

 the first few throws balls went in every 

 direction. The results of the first three 

 games were: 



Player. iBt 2d 8d 



Mrs. Oliver 87 80 47 



Mlsa Beatrice Smith 31 48 76 



The next practice game will no doubt 

 draw out a fair attendance. The prizes 

 for the ladies promise to be numerous 

 and valuable. The $50 donated by F. H. 

 Kramer will very likely go to the ladies. 

 H. F. Michell Co., of Philadelphia, 

 has also helped the ladies out consider- 

 ably by donating $40. The alleys that 

 have been secured for the ladies are by 

 far the finest in the city. Six alleys on 

 each floor, twelve alleys in all, with no 

 liquor served in the building. The sec- 

 retary of the ladies' bowling committee 

 would like the names of every lady or 

 ladies' club that will take part in the 

 game. Kindly communicate with Miss 

 Beatrice Smith, 916 F street, N. W., 

 Washington, D. C, for particulars of any 

 kind. 



At this week's session the lady bowl- 

 ers made the following score : 



Mrs. Oliver 37 47 61 



Annie Kramer 41 41 69 



Beatrice Smith 31 69 82 



Miss Munder 47 69 70 



Albert Esch has been added to the com- 

 mittee on ladies' bowling. The prizes 

 for the ladies are to date: F. H. 

 Kramer, $50; H. F. Michell Co., $40;
