The Eiessen Floral Co. reports a very 

 busy week with funeral '.voik. 



James North, formerly of the North 

 Floral Co., and who is now with Honaker, 

 at Lexington, Ky., called on friends here 

 the past week. He likes his new berth. 



Miss Belle Miller, of Springfield, con- 

 tinues to send in white chrysanthemums. 

 Some good blooms were seen at Ellis ' 

 the past week. 



The florist bowlers lost two of the 

 three games last week to the Fern Glens. 

 Capt. Beyer is still unable to roll, on ac- 

 count of trouble with their boiler. In 

 the games Ellison was high, followed by 

 Mcinhardt, Beneke, Kuehn and Lohrenz. 

 This week they meet the Enterprise team.

The Market. 



Business January 6 has not been very 

 favorable but the supply of roses and 

 carnations has not been enough to over- 

 stock the market and prices have held 

 up well. Calla lilies and Paper Whites 

 have been overplentiful for tlie past two 

 weeks and the call for sweet peas and 

 valley has also been slow. Single and 

 double violets are down to 60 cents and 

 75 cents per luindred for the best and 



the demand is slow. The cut flower busi- 

 ness has kept up well but it is the fellow 

 who does the funeral work that has had 

 the real dull times the past week. The 

 market for green goods continues active. 



Various Notes. 



At the annual meeting of the Florists' 

 Exchange January 1 the report showed 

 an increase in business of twenty-five per 

 cent. The board of directors were re- 

 elected as follows: John M. Rider, I. H. 

 Moss, F. G. Burger, E. A. Seidewitz, 

 C. E. Akehurst, AV. G. Lehr and F. C. 

 Bauer. The board elected E. A. Seide- 

 witz president, F. C. Bauer vice-presi- 

 dent, W. G. Lehr treasurer and C. Ake- 

 hurst secretary. A committee was ap- 

 pointed to secure plans and estimates for 

 a new building which is expected to be 

 ready by spring. The Florists ' Ex- 

 change of Baltimore is said to be the 

 first organization of its kind in America. 

 It was founded in 1890, through the ef- 

 forts of E. A, Seidewitz, its first and 

 present president. 



Mr, Addison, fornierly a.sslstant man- 

 ager at the Florists' Exdiange, was mar- 

 ried New Year's week. 



The new seetlling wliite carnation 

 shown at the last club meeting by Fred 

 Bauer looks very i)roinising and was well 

 spoken of. 



At the last club meeting B. Vincent, 

 Jr., spoke very interestingly on his re- 

 cent trip abroad. Being largely interest- 

 ed in geraniums and dahlias, he made it 

 his object to visit the large growers of 

 that sort of stock, but said it was a 

 hard matter to obtain quantity, no mat- 

 ter what the price. Mr. Vincent spoke 

 very highly of the exhibit at the Crystal 

 Palace, London, saying that he never 

 saw a show in our large cities to equal 

 it in artistic arrangement of the exhibits 

 and also the floral designs, with an over- 

 flowing attendance of all classes of 

 people. 



George Fox, of West North avenue, 

 has closed his store and expects to go 

 south in the near future. 



Charles Erdmann had considerable 

 damage done to his greenhouses by fire 

 New Year's week. 



A meeting of the committee of the 

 State Horticultural Society acting joint- 

 ly with the committee of the Gardeners ' 

 and Florists' Club was held January 9 

 to lay plans for the erection of a horti- 

 cultural and exhibition hall which it 

 is proposed to build with state aid. The 

 committee of the Gardeners' and Flo- 

 rists' Club were J. N. Boon, Thomas H. 

 Patterson, I. H. ]Mose, N. F. Flitton 

 and Fred Bauer. From the Maryland 

 State Horticultural Society were R. Vin-
