The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



May 21, 1908. 



WASHINGTON. 



Capital City Comment. 



There is plenty of good stock and 

 everybody is busy with dinners, decora- 

 tions, funeral work or working for or 

 against the Sunday closing law. Among 

 the florists who have gone on record as 

 being against the Sunday closing law 

 are Geo. C. Shaffer, F. H. Kramer and 

 Henry Small. Peonies are now coming 

 in more plentifully. 



United States Chief Forester Gifford 

 Pinchot entertained the governors from 

 the different states and the diplomatic 

 corps. Gude Bros. Co. had the house 

 decoration. Spring flowers were used, 

 with American Beauties, throughout the 

 house. 



At the banquet given to the governors 

 and waterways commission by the Board 

 of Trade at the New Willard hotel, J. H. 

 Small & Sons bad the table decorations. 

 There were a number of small tables. 

 Vases of roses and spring flowers were 

 used. 



F. H. Kramer reports a big business 

 last week, in bedding stock and funeral 

 work. 



Geo. Cook is a busy man at present 

 ' with outdoor work. 



Christ Shellhorn's plant is still for 

 sale. 



Gude Bros. Co. had the order for the 

 firemen's memorial wreaths. They made 

 sixty-seven of them, Friday, May 15. 

 A wreath is placed on the grave of each 

 deceased fi^reman. 



The Sunday closing bill, which was re- 

 ported favorably from the District com- 

 mittee May 1, by Senator Johnston, of 

 Alabama, passed the senate May 15 with 

 no material changes, all the committee 

 amendments being agreed to. If it 

 passes the house this week, with no ad- 

 ditional amendments, it will become a 

 law this year. 



A. Gude dropped in at the sale of a 

 defunct lumber company and bought 

 50,000 feet of lumber and 3,000 cedar 

 posts. Then he bought the firm 's wagon 

 to haul the purchase home with. The 

 auctioneer stopped the sale long enough 

 to inquire if the gentleman from Ana- 

 costia did not want to buy the site to 

 erect some greenhouses. O. O. 



Hutchinson, Minn. — The Hutchinson 

 Nurseries are thriving exceedingly, busi- 

 ness doubling with them each year.
