The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 23, 1908. 



WASHINGTON. 



Some Window Decorations. 



There is improvement in business over 

 last week. 



The stores have all got their summer 

 windows in. G. C. Shaflfer has a large 

 observation tower, made of cork bark, 

 with a large water wheel, which furnishes 

 power for the elevators, "etc., and there 

 is an additional building in the rear, as 

 an annex, made of cedar bark, with red 

 curtains. These buildings are wired for 

 incandescent lights, and the miniature 

 lights and the red curtains make a stun- 

 ning effect at night in his large I street 

 window. 



Z. D. Ulackistone has a cascade of 

 rocks, with water rushing over them, and 

 a rustic bridge, with ferns planted all 

 through the rocks. 



Small & Sons have a pond filled with 

 all sorts of water plants and water lilies. 

 The back of the window is kept filled 

 with pin oak branches in umbrella 

 stands, which give it a cool appearance. 



The Washington Florists Co. has a 

 rustic window, filled with moss, logs and 

 cork bark, and planted with mixed ferns. 



F. H. Kramer has his window taste- 

 fully arranged with Whitmani ferns and 

 water lilies. 



Gude Bros, have an old stone grist 

 mill. The water coming down the hill- 

 side runs the wheel, which in turn runs a 

 wind gauge and the little millers, who 

 are constantly walking about inside of 

 the mill. The large pond or lake is 

 filled with growing water hyacinths, pop- 

 pies and other plants, with a fine dis- 

 play of lilies and a fine lot of fish and 

 terrapins. The latter are all named 

 with gold letters on their backs. The 

 great big fellow is Taft and the other 

 little one is Bryan; then come Hearst, 

 and so on. 



Various Notes. 



J. Henry Small has just returned 

 from a sojourn in Maine. 



S. W. Deeble, who has supplied the 

 Washington florists with hardy ferns 

 for years, claims he has gathered enough 

 ferns in his time to cover or carpet Penn- 

 sylvania avenue from the capitol to the 

 White House and then some. Mr. Deeble 

 has for the last three or four years been 

 cultivating his place on the Chain Bridge 

 road, Virginia, and growing some fine 

 asters and dahlias. He has a large piece 

 of ground filled with gypsophila, which 

 is coming along nicely. 



Frank Sly is summering at Bushwood, 

 Md. O. O. 



Springfield, O. — It is reported that 

 Louis Campbell, who was conducting a 

 successful business on East Johnson ave- 

 nue, has disappeared and has not been 

 heard from for about a month. Mr. 

 Campbell is a son of James Campbell, 

 who has been an employee of the Good 

 & Reese Co. for over twenty-five years. 

 The young man had received generous 

 assistance from his father in starting in 

 business and was apparently quite pros- 

 perous.
