jANUMlt 11, 1906. 



WASHINGTON. 



State of Trade. 



Tlic seasou of official entertaining 

 opening, as it did, with the New Year's 

 re('ej)tions, is keeping the decorators busy 

 and u large amount of fine stock is being 

 disposed of. A notable feature is the 

 great demand for Killarney roses for 

 dinner decorations. Eichmond and Lib- 

 erty are also in demand. In the selection 

 of flowers for the centerpiece of a dinner 

 decoration, within the week one leading 

 decorator has used Begonia Gloire de 

 Lorraine, another poinsettias, and still 

 another cut azaleas. Lilacs, lilies of the 

 valley and the fancy carnations, cacti 

 and all have their devotees. For green, 

 Adiantum Farleyense is very popular. 

 C;ut stock of this fern is now being 

 shipped here from Philadelphia, arriving 

 in excellent condition. There is consid- 

 erable demand for orchids and American 

 Beauty roses, the former for bouquets, 

 the latter for vase work. Violets, mig- 

 nonette and Paper White narcissi are in 

 good supply and of excellent quality. 



The following are the prevailing retail 

 prices for first quality of leading stocks: 

 Orchids, cattleyas, .$1 and $1.25 per 

 flower;- cypripediums, $3 and $4 per 

 dozen. Koses, American Beauty, $15 per 

 dozen; Killarney, $4; Richmond and 

 Liberty, $3 to $5 ; Bride and Maid, $2.50 

 to $3.50. Carnations, Enchantress, Pros- 

 perity and Lady Bountiful, $1.50 and $2 

 per dozen; Lawson, Governor Eoosevelt 

 and Eed Sport, $1 to $1.50. Violets, 

 $3 per hundred. Mignonette, $1.50 per 

 dozen. 



The Retailers. 



The decorations at the first cabinet 

 dinner of the season, given by Secretary 

 of State and Mrs. Root, at which 

 President and Mrs. Eoosevelt were pres- 

 ent, was by J. H. Small &■ Sons. Begonia 

 Gloire de Lorraine with adiantum was 

 freely used. 



George H. Cooke recently executed a 

 very handsome dinner decoration in which 

 Otaheite oranges was the leading 

 feature. 



Representative Allen, of Maine, has 

 introduced a bill in the House which, if 

 it becomes law, will affect the florists. 

 The measure provides that all places of 

 business, except news stands, drug stores 

 and undertakers' shops shall be closed on 

 Sunday. Scotty. 



Here is a remittance for fifty-two 

 more visits of our looked-for friend, the
