WASHINGTON. 



The Christinas Trade. 



Christmas ia over and, after reckon- 

 ing up, the florists are looking like 

 breakfast food advertisements. They 

 are wearing the smile that will not come 

 •oflf. With one or two exceptions, they 

 report business from twenty-five to fifty 

 per cent better than last year. There 

 was a much larger cash business. Plants 

 sold well; that is, all except the very 

 large ones and there was little large stuff 

 in the plant line this year. Plant bas- 

 kets sold well, but cut flowers sold better 

 than last year. There was enough to go 



around. Violets were short on Christ- 

 mas morning, but a good many pickled 

 violets were to be seen. This was about 

 the only real complaint. Gude Bros, had 

 one order of twenty-one armadillo bas- 

 kets of growing plants to ship out of 

 town. They had a fine lot of 2,000 

 Beauties for their Christmas trade. 



J. J. Harty & Co. cleaned up and made 

 good. They are receiving some fine ear- 

 nations at present. 



One of Gude Bros. ' delivery wagons 

 got mixed up with a street car. The 

 only damage done was one broken wheel. 



James Hardy, who has a store on Four- 

 teenth street under the Ebbitt house, is 

 looking for his clerk, who cleaned out the 

 till on the morning of December 26. 

 There is a warrant out for his arrest. 



William F. and Adolphus Gude at- 

 tended the S. A. F. meeting December 

 20, in Philadelphia. 



AJrs. Edw. Tetro, of Salina, Kan., 

 was a visitor this week.
