WASHINGTON. 



Current Comment. 



The week opened with a cold snap and 

 the first real snow storm of the season. 

 The stores report business about the 

 same as last week. Debutante bunches 

 had the call and everyone got his share. 

 Several good decorations are booked for 

 debuts the coming week. Some good fu- 

 neral orders were booked by the Gude 

 firm and telegraphed to Chicago for the 

 funeral of Gen. Palmer, former public 

 printer. 



Learning of the sad death of Secre- 

 tary Phil Hauswirth, a special meeting 

 of the directors of the Florists' -Club 

 was called and a suitable floral offering 

 was ordered, which waa heartily ap- 

 proved by the club at the meeting held 

 December 6. Wm. F. Gude, James Car- 

 bery and J. J. Harty were appointed as 

 a committee to draft suitable resolutions 

 to convey our sympathy to the bereaved 

 family. 



The coming carnation convention was 

 discussed at the last club meeting and 

 several prizes donated by the local mem- 

 bers. Mrs. Florence Hading sent a vote 

 of thanks to the club for the show 

 flowers sent to the hospitals. 



Peter Bisset has gone to Porto Rico, 

 where he will spend a few weeks for his 

 health. 



F. H. Kramer has secured the stand 

 formerly occupied by the American Eose 

 Co., in Center market. They have given 

 up their business in the market, Mr. 

 Kramer was all smiles as the boys 

 dropped in to congratulate him on win- 

 ning the flrst prize, silver medal and 

 club certificate at the Baltimore show 

 with his Queen Beatrice rose. 



A trip to Geo. Field's found every- 

 thing in ship shape, but a month behind, 

 as Mr. Field puts it. He cannot account 

 for it. Cypripediums should be plentiful 

 now and there are plenty of buds, but 

 they do not open. Cattleyas are late. 

 He reports a much larger demand than 

 usual for dendrobiums. 



Carl Kausch, formerly with the Schultz 

 Co., of Louisville, Ky., has taken a posi- 

 tion with the Washington Florists Co. 



F street will have a new Greek flower 

 dealer if he can secure a location. 



E. J. Fancourt, of the Pennock-Mee- 

 han Co., was a visitor. O. O. 



AuBtJKN, N. Y. — A. Patrick has opened 

 a store at 80 Genesee street, for the dis- 

 posal of a part of the output of his 

 greenhouses.
