The Market 



The weather conditions have been sat- 

 isfactory. The bright, sunny days have 

 brought out thousands of blooms of 

 every description and little was carried 

 over. The retail market has been 

 steady. Prices have declined on some 

 particular grades. Taking all into con- 

 sideration, the retailer makes no com- 

 plaint. 



American Beauties are generally 

 enough to meet the demands; however, 

 the coming of the Metropolitan Opera 

 Co., March 25, at the Lyric, will no 

 doubt call for many Beauties and other 

 cut flowers, but only a few of the lead- 

 ing florists will reap the harvest. Boses 

 are coming in more regularly, at fair 

 prices. Ivory, Bridesmaid, and Killar- 

 ney are extra fine. Bride, Richmond, 

 Liberty and Gate are used to a great ex- 

 tent. The glut of carnations still hangs 

 on. Many who are trying to hold them 

 back for Easter find it difficult, as the 

 sun has so much power. The quality is 

 fair, but showing a little change. The 

 leading sellers here are white and En- 

 chantress. 



Lily of the valley is not so plentiful 

 and ff'v are called for. Sweet peas can 

 be had iii any quantity at a low figure. 

 Both single and double violets are a 

 glut and sell at a price that hardly pays 

 for picking. Thousands were offered on 

 the streets last week. Callas are begin- 

 ning to be plentiful and bring good 



prices. Bulbous stock can be found in 

 any quantity. Thousands of Easter 

 lilies are thrown out and will no doubt 

 make a short crop. Many will discard 

 them hereafter. Greens are not so 

 scarce, as the weather is more favorable. 

 The fern gatherers will soon get more 

 out of the woods and will flood the 

 town. 



Vaiiotts Notes. 



While L. Kru^er, 723 West Franklin 

 street, was trimming a tree, the limb 

 on which he was standing broke and 

 he fell to the ground, sustaining pain- 

 ful injuries. 



Herbert W. Cameron, who was em- 

 ployed by J. Boigiano & Son, has given 

 up working in the seed business. 



Philip Heddrick, gardener for Allen 

 McLane, Chattolanee, Md., picked over 

 2,500 extra fine Marie Louise violets 

 and has some fine azaleas. They will 

 shortly erect another house, much larger 

 than the one they now have. 



Samuel Feast & Sons have one of the 

 most up-to-date arranged windows in 

 the city. A glance at the beautiful 

 sight will surely make anyone feel that 

 spring is here. 



The next meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists* Club will be hela in its 

 rooms March 25. This meeting should 

 be well attended, as considerable impor- 

 tant business will be transacted. 



Fred Eeitz, Franklintown, has an 

 enormous quantity of blooming bulbous 

 stock for Easter. He is one of the larg- 

 est importers in the state and supplies 

 many growers, and when the bulbs are 



in bloom he supplies a good many re- 

 tail stores. Much credit is due Mr. 

 Reitz for the way he handles such a 

 vast number of bulbs. Easter he has 

 about half a dozen stalls scattered 

 throughout the market and makes many 

 trips a day with his wagon and a hired 

 wagon. 



One of our growers of Easter lilies 

 was compelled to throw out nearly 200 

 lilies last week, and he was not the only 

 ,one. 



Many members of the club attended 

 the rose convention at Washington last 

 Friday and were well pleased. 



Isaac H. Moss, Govanstown, is cut- 

 ting some extra fine, long-stemmed 

 Ivory and Golden Gate. The stock has 

 made remarkable growth for the short 

 time planted. 



The florists here are beginning to 

 realize that the window decorations are 

 becoming a necessity. 



John P. Willheim, Gardenville, recent- 

 ly was in tovm looking for a first-class 

 buggy. He says business has been so 

 brisk that it enables him to lay out the 

 cash for this summer's pleasure. 



C. B. Hoffman, Arlington, has com- 

 pleted his repairs on his new houses re- 

 cently damaged by fire and will be 

 ready for the Easter trade. 



There was a good demand for the 

 green carnations for St. Patrick's day. 

 J. L. T. 



West Springfield, Mass. — Hans 

 Madsen has sold his business and haa 

 returned to Denmark to live. Mr. and 

 Mrs. Madsen sailed March 16.
