TTic Weekly Florists' Review. 



Decbmbes 20, 1007. 



, < . WASHINGTON. 



At the present writing everybody is 

 getting in sliape for the final rush. All 

 the stores report business as good as 

 usual, with plenty of good stock. Harly 

 & Co., the wholesalers, besides cut flow- 

 ers, have sold a great many azaleas and 

 other plants. 



The store windows are unusually at- 

 tractive this year. Small's have a large 

 cluster of satin bells in all sizes sus- 

 pended with ribbons, some white, some 

 red, with red electric light bulbs for clap- 

 pers, under a canopy of asparagus with a 

 background of holly. The effect is beau- 

 tiful. 



Z. D. Blacklstone has a sleigh drawn 

 by a flock of doves, and some beautifully 

 decorated heather plants. 



The Washington Florists' Co. has a 

 pretty rustic window filled with cedar 

 stumps with ferns and other plants grow- 

 ing in them. A camp kettle with twigs 

 sits over a red light. 



Kramer has his usual display of 

 wreaths, poinsettias and decorated plants. 

 He has a store on Ninth street for the 

 holidays. * O. O. 



USE FOR LOW GROUND. 



"We. have a low piece of ground that 

 covers about two acres which can be eas- 

 ily arranged so that it is covered with 

 anywhere from six inches to s-s feet of 

 water, fed by five large springs. Are 

 there any flowers or vegetables that can 

 be grown in this fresh water to market 

 that will bring ua fait returns? If so, 

 what are theyf Our market is handy for 

 anything. " A. J. B. 



I am unaware of an7 vegetable' which 

 can be grown in water. \ou might flood 

 the piece of ground and grow water lilies, 

 such as nymphaeas and nelumbiums. They 

 are the only aquatic flowers which would 

 have any commerc.al value. A depth of 

 two or three feet of water would suffice 

 for these plants. For a list of suitable 

 varieties and methods of cultivation refer 

 k) the REViEvy of November 28, page 11.
