The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JUNB 26, 1008. 



D. gracilis aad the branches are of 

 erect growth. It does not attain a 

 greater height than five to six feet. The 

 flowers are pure white, and produced in 

 such abundance as to practically hide 

 the foliage from view. We have had 

 little trouble with it winter killing, al- 

 though it suffers a little in severe win- 

 ters, such as we experienced in 1903 and 

 1904. This is a much better deutzia 

 than D. gracilis and will eventually dis- 

 place it as a forcing variety. It can be 

 readily propagated from soft cuttings in 

 May or early June, in a frame or green- 

 house. It was this year in full bloom 

 May 28, about ten days earlier than 

 usual.

Business in the District. 



Business has quieted down. The June 

 weddings and the funeral work are the 

 only things doing now. Last week was 

 the grand finale, with the combined three 

 high school commencements. Every flo- 

 rist had some work in the bunch and bas- 

 ket line. There were about 700 bunches. 

 J. H. Small & Son had the palm decora- 

 tion. This took place in Convention hall, 

 the largest hall in the District. Gude 

 Bros, had the decorations for the Busi- 

 ness High School at the National theater. 



Various Notes. 



There was a 'nice turnout at the bowl- 

 ers' outing June 18, at Chesapeake beach. 



A surprise to the local florists was the 

 funeral notice of John Cammack, who 

 had been in the florists' business all his 

 life, and his father before him. 



The dedication of the new municipal 

 building takes place July 4. Wm. E. 

 Gude has been appointed chairman on 

 decorations. The local florists are all to 

 help. He called a meeting for that pur- 

 pose for June 23. 



The next meeting of the Florists ' Club 

 will be held July 6. It will be an old 

 time potting shed meeting on F. H. Kra- 

 mer's place. There will be few absentees. 



J. A. Phillips will close his Fourteenth 

 street store for the season June 27. 



The Waahington bowlers entertained 

 the club from Baltimore Saturday, June 

 20. The score follows:
