Convention Notes. 



National interest is being manifested 

 in the exhibition of the American Eose 

 Society and Washington Florists' Club 

 ■which will be held in the Washington 

 Light Infantry hall, March 13 to 15. 

 Nearly every state and territory in the 

 Union will be represented, as well as 

 different portions of Canada. Washing- 

 ton is particularly interested in three 

 classes open to amateur competitors. 

 Three prizes of $5, $3 and $2 are offered 

 by John Clarke for best specimen of a 

 fern' which has been grown in a dwelling 

 for at least four months previous to ex- 

 hibition, Peter Bisset offers three prizes 

 of similar amounts for best specimen 

 of rubber plant grown under same con- 

 ditions. George Field offers a like 

 amount for best geranium. Preparations 

 for the exhibition have been in progress 

 for weeks and strongly indicate that 

 Washington will this year have one of 

 the finest exhibits in its history.

Trade conditions remain good and, in 

 spite of brighter weather, almost all 

 kinds of stock is kept used up; prices 

 remain good and the quality of both 

 roses and carnations is much improved. 

 There is an abundance of bulb stock. 

 The different stores and the market had 

 a decidedly spring appearance last Sat- 

 urday, the window displays being espe- 

 cially attractive. 



H. W. Rieman is busy planting roses. 

 His Easter plants look to be in fine 

 shape and, no doubt, he will reap a rich 

 reward. 



A party, consisting of A. Wiegand, 

 Arthur Smith, Ed Larson and Sydney 

 Smith, visited Richmond last week. All

Send 25c and receive by mail a package of dye 

 that will color 75 to 100 carnations green. Have

were favorably impressed with Hill's 

 new rose, Rhea Eeid. It is the rose that 

 will make the hit; a fine bud with a 

 splendid color. The firm's new houses 

 were interesting, not only for what they 

 contained, but in their construction and 

 heating. The firm has spared no effort 

 in making this a model plant. At the 

 B., K. and B. greenhouses the carnations 

 were fine, their Superior showing to good 

 advantage, also Sarah Hill, a fine white. 

 At Vernon Grave 's everything was lovely, 

 ixis benches of Enchantress were a sight 

 to see. All his carnations were in fine 

 shape and promise well for Easter. The 

 nicest lot of violets in this section of 

 the country are at Ed Ruch 's green- 

 houses. He is certainly fortunate in es- 

 caping the disease that has ruined so 

 many. 



E. A. Nelson has a lot of spiraeas com- 

 ing on for Easter, also lilies. He is one 

 of the few who have had good luck with 

 them this year. 



Arthur Smith and John Van Aart 

 leave for Philadelphia this week, where 

 they go to take charge of greenhouses 

 at Newtown. Good luck to them. They 

 will do a wholesale business. S.

The Market. 



As we have all expected for some time, 

 prices are softening rapidly. Those of 

 our craft who cater to the transient trade 

 are happier than ever, as the lower 

 prices go, the larger always are the cash

over-the-counter sales. The enormous 

 volume of business we have had right 

 along still keeps on. Funeral work is 

 abundant and at the best prices. Al- 

 though it is Lent, many calls for flowers 

 keep all extremely busy. The seedsmen 

 have also started on what will be a great 

 business year. 



The Florists' Club. 



Tuesday evening, February 26, the 

 final meeting of the month was held. 

 President Stephens was in the chair and 

 the attendance of members was larger 

 than usual. The matter of the distribu- 

 tion of the penny packets of both flower 

 and vegetable seeds to the children of 

 the public schools received much atten- 

 tion. The seeds will soon be ready for 

 the children. This seed distribution is in 

 charge of M. B. Faxon. At this meet- 

 ing the flower committee for the evening, 

 consisting of Messrs. Sexton, Reichart, 

 Roth, Metzmaier and Brust, awarded to 

 R. A. Currie twenty points for a fine 

 specimen of Simon Mardner azalea, and 

 twenty-five points for an elegant bunch 

 of Princess of Wales violets to I. D. 

 Siebert. A discussion of the chrysan- 

 themum show to be held in November
