The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Decembbr 6, 1906. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market 



Thanksgiving trade, though devoid of 

 any unusual features, was satisfactory. 

 There was a good trade in chrysanthe- 

 mums and violets^ with considerable de- 

 mand for roses and carnations. With 

 the exception of carnations there was an 

 abundance of stock of all kinds. The 

 carnation situation is improving, though 

 there is no surplus to be had. Ameri- 

 can Beauty, Killarney, Liberty, Rich- 

 mond, Brides, Maids and Gates are all 

 showing up Avell. Good Beauties bring 

 $9 per dozen retail, the average price of 

 tea roses being $2 per dozen. En- 

 chantress carnations sell for $1 and $1.25 

 per dozen; Law^on, $1; New York vio- 

 lets go fa.st at $3 per hundred. 



The Spencer funeral. 



A noteworthy funeral, from the de- 

 signer 's viewpoint, was that of Samuel 

 Spencer, held at St. John's Episcopal 

 church, Sunday, December 2. Mr. Spen- 

 cer was president of the Southern rail- 

 way and met death on his own road. A 

 great part of the work went to J. H. 

 Small & Sons, the Gude Bros.. Co., and 

 the Washington Florists' Co. Also a 

 number of handsome pieces were exe- 

 cuted by Geo. H. Cooke, J. E. Free- 

 man, Z. D. Blackistone and Geo. C. 

 Shaffer. Orders came from New York 

 and other eastern points, but it is prob- 

 able that the most elaborate work was 

 executed on the orders of southern 

 friends of the dead president. He was 

 a native of that section and his life work 

 had been its development through his 

 railroad. The most expensive stock on 

 the market was freely used in nearly all 

 the pieces seen at the funeral ; cattleyaa, 

 cypripediums, orchids, American Beau- 

 ty roses and lily of the valley were in 

 profusion. 



Various Notes* 



The advent of the congressmen has in- 

 fused new life into all branches of busi- 

 ness, not excepting the florists. Wash- 

 ingtonians are sometimes inclined to fret 

 over the things congress will not do for 

 them, but they are always ready to wel- 

 come it with feelings of thankfulness 

 after the long, dull days of vacation. 



The next monthly meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club will be ladies' night. All 

 members have been requested to bring 

 their lady friends, and with music and 

 refreshments it is expected there will be 

 a general good time. A. F.

MABELLE 



NEW PINK CARNATION FOR 1907 



Color — A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a 

 faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Law- 

 son. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not 

 injure the color. Size— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when 

 established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. 

 Stems- Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- 

 ing from 12 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, 

 etc.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen 

 plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- 

 count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very 

 soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early 

 and gives long stems riprht from the start. Product* 

 Iveness— Prodigious is the best word we know of to 

 use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and 

 late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. Delivery 

 January 6 to 10 and later. Price $12.00 per 100; tlOO.OO 

 per 1000.

Unquestionably the grandest carnation ever 

 introduced. For the past three years, cut flowers 

 from my stock have wholesaled at an average 

 advance of $1.00 to $3.00 per 100 over regular 

 market quotations for fancy stock, owing to 

 enormous size, perfect form and brilliant color- 

 ing. Over 35,000 cuttings of this variety sold tKst 

 season with absolute satisfaction. 



Orders booked now for December and later 

 delivery. I guarantee my customers strong, 

 healthy, thoroughly rooted cuttings; liberal 

 count, careful packing, prompt shipment and 

 the finest stock they ever saw. $2.00 per 100; 

 $18.00 per 1000.
