The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



February 22, 1908. 



WASHINGTON. 



A Busy Week. 



With the sweet perfume of orange 

 blossoms and roses in the air and myriads 

 01 Cupid's darts concealed in St. Valen- 

 tine's boxes of violets, the past week 

 has served to shed :i halo of sentiment 

 over business. Of business, the week 

 was full, and for once even the kickers 

 seemed to be happ}'. Beginning with 

 the birthday of tho bride-elect at the 

 White House, for whom many choice and 

 costly gifts of flowers were ordered, on 

 through a great number of social events, 

 with the wedding as fx climax, there was 

 a great demand for cut stock of finest 

 quality. It was fortunate that trade and 

 weather conditions were favorable for 

 such a series of events. There was a 

 good supply of everything at reasonable 

 prices. 



Though the White House wedding was 

 not a great money-maker for any indir 

 vidual retailer, what with the cut stock 

 furnished the landscape department and 

 the many floral gift3, the aggregate was 

 considerable. The happiness at the 

 White House seemed to pervade the 

 whole city, even to the extent of soften- 

 ing business rivalry, which here, as else- 

 where, is keen. 



Though not a part of the house deco- 

 ration, two elegant baskets of flowers 

 were seen in the east room of the 

 White House. One was of American 

 Beauty roses and Boston ferns, the other 

 of rare orchids, orange blossoms and 

 A, Farleyense. The former was a ^ft 

 to the bride from the Honorable Justices 

 of the United States Supreme court ; the 

 latter from the Brazilian ambassador. 

 Both were executed by J. H. Small & 

 Sons. 



The attaches of the British legation 

 sent, through George H. Cooke, an ele- 

 gant offering ox Bride and Killamey 

 roses. 



Many fine carnations seen in the White 

 House were grown by Mr. Dawson, car- 

 nation grower at the United States propa- 

 gating gardens. 



Fred H. Kramer is now showing Queen 

 Beatrice roses with stems that rival 

 iimerican Beauty. 



I note with very much regret that in 

 my account last week of the club's car- 

 nation show I failed to mention the ex- 

 hibits of the Cottage Gardens, Queens, 

 N. Y., and W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort 

 Wayne, Ind. The former sent Kobert 

 Craig, the latter Glendale, both worthy 

 of special comment. 



Mr. McClements, of Eandolph & 

 McClements, Pittsburg, Pa., was in the 

 city during the week. Scottt.
