WASHINGTON. 



Current Comment. 



The adjournment of congress coming 

 as it did in the midst of a hot spell, 

 has left the flower trade in a dull con- 

 dition. 



There is not, however, anything to 

 complain of, as the statesmen would have 

 been foolish to remain here to hroil when 

 the mountains, lakes and deep blue sea 

 all sigh for their presence. While we 

 miss them sadly, may they all return. 

 Notwithstanding all this, some business 

 is being transacted, tihough not enough 

 to keep anybody in the retail line very 

 busy. The growers are getting work 

 good and plenty, regardless of whether 

 there is money in it or not. When the 

 dry spell ended there came a wet spell, 

 and all who have to do with outdoor 

 stock have had to fight to prevent them 

 being smothered in weeds. 



The local growers are sending in very 

 creditable stock of La France and Kai- 

 serin roses. Carnations are badly stricken 

 with the heat, but passable stock of En- 

 chantress, Joost, Flora Hill and other 

 whites may still be seen. There is an 

 abundance of cut feverfew and some sale 

 for nice plants of it in 5-inch and 6-inch 

 pots. Sweet peas are not abundant, but 

 there is some good stock on the market 

 selling at nominal figures. 



The heavy storm, noted several weeks 

 ago, made busy times for the various 

 park departments. What with cutting 

 up and removing fallen trees, pruning, 

 etc., they have had their hands full.

The Market. 



Trade the last week has been good, 

 owing to the closing of a medical school. 

 The weather is very hot here, and some 

 stuff is suffering for rain. Some good 

 roses are to be seen and also some fine 

 carnations. 



Variottt Notes. 



Jacob Schulz has torn down four 

 houses and will build new in their places. 



Henry Fuchs was given a surprise 

 party by his friends Monday, Jime 25, 

 at his residence on Texas street. A 

 dainty supper was set, and was enjoyed 

 by everybody. Dancing was kept up 

 until a late hour. Henry carried off 

 the honors for fancy dancing. 



Mr. and Mrs. John Bohrman have re- 

 turned from Norrie much improved 

 in health. 



T. B. Kudy, who was overcome by the 

 heat last week, is again able to attend 

 to his business.
