MONTREAL. 



Various Notes. 



When my last report was sent in we 



"vvere buried under many feet of snow. 



Now it has almost all disappeared and 



we have had rain unceasingly for two 



days. 



Business is splendid. St. Valentine's 

 day called for all the red flowers, espe- 

 cially red tulips. 



A big dance was given on the evening 

 of Valentine's day by one of Montreal's 

 leading families. Flowers were used in 

 abundance, American Beauties in partic- 

 ular; also daffodils, all colors of hya- 

 cinths, stocks, calla lilies, etc. 



Another important occasion was the 

 Kilvert-Hanson wedding, which called 

 for lots of decoration work and large 

 bouquets. 



J, Bennett has a large stock of splen- 

 did violets at present, which find a ready 

 sale. 



Mrs. White's window of jonquils and 

 asparagus looked very attractive last 

 week. 



Hall & Robinson have had a busy time 

 lately. Their business is always increas- 

 ing. Tommy. 



WASHINGTON. 



Current CommenU 



"The best ever," is the report from 

 all the stores and market stands for Val- 

 entine 's day. It was a young Easter, so 

 to speak. Novelties sold well, such as 

 baskets, mail pouches, hats, hampers, etc. 

 Violets had the call. One F street store 

 alone sold 15,000. 



A trip through the markets February 

 15 found all the stands filled to their 

 capacity with bulbous stuff. Single and 

 double jonquils were offered at 25 cents 

 per dozen, and tulips sold at any price. 

 Frank Slye is now personally in charge 

 of his new stand and reports business 

 good. Kramer's new stand, with new, 

 handsome fixtures, looks fine.
