The Weekly Florists' Review* 



November 22, 1906. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market 



There is little change in the condition 

 of business over that of a week ago. We 

 have passed the stage of worship for the 

 queen of autumn; the question now is to 

 dispose of her at a reasonable price. The 

 best quality of blooms is now arriving 

 and inferior stock is going slow. Koses 

 and carnations are showing great im- 

 provement in quality, and indications 

 points to a good supply of both for 

 Thanksgiving. A leading retail dealer 

 says we are getting all the New 

 York violets we need. That seems to be 

 the situation all around, and it may be 

 added that they are good enough for 

 anybody and retail readily at $2 per 

 hundred. 



Various Notes. 



W. F. Gude, Peter Bisset and Otto 

 Bauer acted as judges at the Baltimore 

 show last week. 



J. H. Small, Jr., was recently re- 

 elected as a director of the Washington 

 Board of Trade by a flattering vote. 

 Every one of Mr. Small's days is a busy 

 one, as, in addition to the management 

 of an extensive retail trade, his other 

 business arid fraternal duties make ever- 

 increasing demands on his time. 



President Bisset, of the Florists ' Club, 

 says that matters are progressing finely 

 in regard to arrangements for the rose 

 show to be held in this city in March, 

 1907. President Bisset says he is sure 

 we will have a good show. ' 



Will Arnold, now of the George Eein- 

 berg establishment, Chicago, made the 

 trip to this city and Alexandria, Va., 

 to testify in the suit of J. Louis Loose 

 against the Southern railroad. Mr. Ar- 

 nold was formerly rose-grower at the 

 Loose range. A. F. 



HILLSBORO, OHIO. 



Three years ago Simon J. Hider start- 

 ed in business in a house 9x10. The sec- 

 ond year he began to read the Review 

 and kept on the safe side of the credit 

 column. Today he has one house 11x30, 

 one 20x30 and one 10x20, all up-to-date, 

 full of first-class stock, heated by steam 

 and lighted by electricity. He is prac- 

 tically free from debt, and if everything 

 comes out as he expects by the begin- 

 ning of 1907 he will be clear. He says 

 he owes his success to the Review and 

 to the firms with whom he has dealt. 

 He expects to build a house in the spring 

 for carnations only. 



Goshen, Ind. — The Goshen Floral Co. 

 is building a two story cement block 

 building, 25x44 feet, and making an 

 addition of 300 feet to its present green- 

 houses.
