The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Max 7, 1908. 



VASHINGTON. 



dpital City Notes. 



Business was much better than last 

 week. Funeral work and dinners were 

 more numerous. Stock is plentiful. Win- 

 dow-boxes are making their appearance 

 everywhere. Blackistone has some, made 

 of cedar bark with a mixture of plants, 

 advertised at $2.50 each. J. H. Small 

 & Sons have just completed the boxes 

 at the New Willard hotel. These boxes 

 make the best showing in the downtown 

 district. John Eobison is a busy man, 

 and also Willie Kimmel, the landscape 

 artist. 



Geo. Shaffer has about completed ar- 

 rangements to buy the Shellhom green- 

 houses and market stand. He will reside 

 on the place, and his cousin, Mr. Shaffer, 

 the grower from Alexandria, will have 

 charge of the houses. 



F, H. Kramer reports a good season. 

 His funeral work has been unusually 

 heavy. 



Thomas & Sly in the market report 

 business good since Easter. 



The Gude Bros, have a fine display of 

 Spanish iris. 



The Washington Florists Co. is cut- 

 ting some good Spanish iris. Mr. Fisher, 

 in charge of the Fourteenth street store, 

 has left for the season. 



A bill to come up in the house of repre- 

 sentatives this week to close all business 

 places on Sunday is interesting to some 

 of the local florists. All the leading 

 stores are in favor of it, but some of 

 the nosegay florists object. As all must 

 close if it becomes a law, no one will be 

 the loser. It will only help to increase 

 the Saturday sales and help the poor 

 devils behind the guns to give thanks to 

 their Creator for a day of rest. O. O. 



WUiLiMANTic, Conn. — The green- 

 houses at the Connecticut Agricultural 

 College are now practically completed 

 and are not only modern in construction, 

 but quite handsome in appearance. Ad- 

 joining the greenhouses is a two-story 

 building, the second story of wfiich will 

 be occupied by the florist and his family, 

 while the space on the flrst floor will be 

 used as a work-room and the basement 

 will be used as a boiler-room. The foun- 

 dations of the horticultural buildings, 

 near-by, are nearly finished.
