WASHINGTON. 



Decoration Day Trade. 



In liis address at Congressional ceme- 

 tery, Hon. Albert F. Dawson, of Iowa, 

 said: "The signifi.iance of Memorial 

 day increases with each passing year. 

 It has a deeper meaning today than it 

 had ten years ago, and ten or twenty 

 years hence it will be held in deeper 

 reverence than it is now. Each recur- 

 ring year brings to the living with great- 

 er force the obligations which we owe to 

 those whose memories we honor this day 

 by strewing their graves with the 

 choicest flowers, and as the years go 

 by and our country increases in great- 

 ness and power this sense of obligation 

 to those who made this greatness possi- 

 ble will increase and deepen."

be a most comprehensive statement, and 

 its significance is of importance to the 

 trade. There is an ever increasing de- 

 mand for good stock for decorative pur- 

 poses, and dealers should be prepared to 

 meet it. Peonies, roses, carnations, 

 sweet peas and numerous cheaper stocks, 

 were about cleaned up. Peonies seemed 

 to lead, as immense quantities were sold, 

 prices ranging from $1 to $2,50 per 

 dozen. At Arlington National cemetery, 

 I was struck with the profuse use of 

 these flowers, as well as roses and car- 

 nations. Though there were a few good 

 specimens of dry work, fresh flowers 

 were the rule. 



Various Notes. 



Five years ago S. E. Whitney, a G. 

 A. B. veteran of this city, put in prac- 

 tice a happy thought. He had noticed 

 that while soldiers' graves were deco- 

 rated, the sailors who died for their 

 country seemed to be forgotten. With 

 his own hands, Mr. Whitney built a little 

 boat; on Decoration day he loaded it 

 Avith flowers and launched it on the 

 bosom of the broad river that sweeps by 

 the national capital on its course to the 

 sea. Every year he repeats the cere- 

 mony, President Roosevelt this year
