The chrysanthemum season is now at 

 its height, and great numbers are being 

 disposed of. While there are some show 

 flowers to be seen, quoted at fancy prices, 

 the great bulk of the stock is of average 

 size blooms, selling at the nominal figures 

 of $1.50 to $3 per dozen. Quite a num- 

 ber of modest decorations for small din- 

 ners are being furnished, and there was 

 a considerable amount of funeral work 

 during the week. 



Various Notes. 



The government flower shows, at the 

 U. S. Propagating Gardens, under the 

 direction of Geo. H. Brown, is an inter- 

 esting exhibit, this week, of fine chry- 

 santhemums. There are many varieties, a 

 part of which are show plants, but a 

 large number of good commercial varie- 

 ties, both new and old, may be seen. 

 Aside from the fine quality of bloom the 

 nomenclature is interesting. There is lily 

 white W. J. Bryan, which may indicate 

 that political party lines are relaxing. 



It is a cosmopolitan gathering, for 

 there you see the gay and dashing Gen. 

 Baden-Powell beside that fine old Amer- 

 ican, Edgar Sanders. Age has not with- 

 ered the dainty charms of Mrs. Kobinson, 

 and Ethel Fitzroy is the same quakerish 

 girl. The many fine varieties that cannot 

 here be mentioned by name, the promi- 

 nence given to good commercial blooms, 

 and the thoughtful arrangements of Mr, 

 Brown for the accommodation of the 

 public are deserving features. 



At the Department of Agriculture, a 

 chrysanthemum show will also be held in 

 the near future. The houses are equippea 

 with electric light, and it has been the 

 custom of Dr. Galloway to throw open 

 the houses in the evening. It is probable 

 that the precedent will be followed this 

 year, as it is popular with the public. 

 The department has a number of its own 

 seedlings for exhibition. A promising 

 yellow of 1905 has been named Mrs. 

 Roosevelt. 



The Gude Bros. Co. is making a great 

 cut of chrysanthemums. They are also 

 showing fine American Beauties and 

 other standard roses. 



Just across the street from the Gude 

 range, F. H. Kramer is turning out mums 

 and roses at a lively pace. A feature of 

 this place is the fine stock of ferns. 



Robert Bowdler, one of the older 

 school of Washington florists, shows a 

 good stock of both cut and pot chrys- 

 anthen^ums at his Center market stand. 



The magnificent union station, which is 

 being erected in this city, is convenient 

 to the ranges of Mr. Bowdler, the Amer- 

 ican Rose Co., and Clarke Bros. A. F.

The Test of 

 WORKMANSHIP 



NO greenhoase is a perfect 

 house unless all the materials 

 which enter into its construc- 

 tion are properly made by exper- 

 ienced workmen. All of our mater- 

 ial is made by men who know that 

 perfect material is needed to make 

 a perfect house and you can't grow 

 the best stock without a perfect 

 house. Well made material costs 

 less than the inferior kind— 4ess 

 repairing to be done. 



Our workmanship will stand the 

 most critical test — how about mak- 

 ing a comparison with the houses 

 you have ? Write for catalogue.
