The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Febbuary 6, 1908. 



WASHINGTON. 



State of Business* 



There has been a decided improvement 

 in business this week, especially with the 

 decorators. There was quite a number 

 of dinners and receptions. 



McKinley day helped some, but on the 

 whole there were not so many carnations 

 sold as last year. It was noticed, on 

 this occasion, that a number of carna- 

 tion growers did not wear the flower, 

 though they are so much benefited by 

 the national carnation day. 



Various Notes. 



Echoes from the convention sound 

 good. Everybody seemed to have a good 

 time. Among the last to arrive were the 

 Bate brothers, from Cleveland. They 

 stayed over for a day before going 

 to Philadelphia and New York. Mr. 

 Skidelsky was still with us on Saturday. 

 He smiled as he patted his order book 

 and winked. 



The Gude Bros., who had such a hard 

 time with the unknown insect pest in 

 their fern house last fall, now have a 

 large stock of Brianii ferns. They sold 

 150 pots during the convention and still 

 have some. 



r. H. Kramer booked quite a few 

 orders for his Queen Beatrice rose. 



President Eoosevelt was much pleased 

 with the fine jars of carnations pre- 

 sented to him by the Carnation Society. 

 After the reception he again thanked 

 the oflScers of the local club. On the 

 following night, at a dinner for the 

 judges of the supreme court, Mrs. Roose- 

 velt gave orders that no other flowers 

 except the carnations presented to the 

 president were to be used on the tables 

 and in the rooms. Mr. Oliver, the White 

 House decorator, arranged them with 

 splendid effect. Mrs. Ward was used 

 on the table. 



At the dinner recently given by Sec- 

 retary Bonaparte to the president, 500 

 Killamey roses were used. The center- 

 piece was made to represent a huge cos- 

 mos flower, with a tall vase in the cen- 

 ter. This was of Killamey roses, mignon- 

 ette and white lilac. Z. D. Blackistone 

 had a decoration. 



J. A. Phillips, with his young son, is 

 visiting his home in Toledo, O. Mrs. 

 Phillips reports business very good.
