Dayton last week, each received a liberal 

 number of premiums. The Dayton Flo- 

 ral Co. had a large display of palms, bay 

 trees, ferns, etc., which were artistically 

 arranged in a pyramid in the center of 

 the exhibition building. Among the sev- 

 eral prizes this company captured, one 

 was first premium for general display and 

 first for table decoration. H. H. Bitter's 

 display of various decorative plants was 

 handsomely arranged. Among his many 

 premiums was the first prize for cut 

 flower collection. The Advance Floral 

 Co. also had a fine array of plants and 

 cut flowers and won first premium on bed- 

 ding plants. A large sod ptg exhibited 

 in their display was a great attraction. 

 John Boehner had a fine display of can- 

 nas, which took first prize. 



John Evans, of Richmond, Ind., called 

 September 12, and from here went to 

 Youngstown and Cleveland. 



Walter Matthews, the eldest son of 

 Warren G. Matthews, proprietor of the 

 Dayton Floral Co., and Miss Emma Pau- 

 ley were married September 12. The 

 event was a complete surprise to their 

 many friends. They left immediately 

 for Kansas City, and the best wishes of 

 the Dayton florists go with the young 

 couple. R. A. B.

WASHINGTON. 



State of Business. 



Business has been anything but good 

 and there is an abundance of stock, roses 

 especially. The opening of the schools 

 will help some, especially the many young 

 ladies' seminaries around Washington. 

 They cut quite a figure in the cut flower 

 business. Most of them open October 1. 

 The public schools open September 21. 

 A new crop of roses is now coming in. 

 Bride, Maid, Killarney and My Maryland 

 are much better and have fairly good 

 stems. Carnations are still short-stemmed 

 and not much in demand. 



Variotss Notes. 



Gude Bros, are cutting some fine Beau- 

 ties for this season of the year. 



A look in at F. H. Kramer's F street 

 store found him picking out the good 

 points of a bunch of seedlings he had 

 just received from his Anacostia plant. 



Among the best was a pink sport of 

 Richmond and a large shell-pink on the 

 order pf his Queen Beatrice but much 

 lighter in color. He also had a fairly 

 good vase of Rhea Reid and a vase of 

 the yellow rose he exhibited at the show 

 last year; he calls it Kramer's Pet. 



Violets made their debut last week at 

 Gudes'. They were the single variety. 



Theo. Dietrich, who has grown violets 

 successfully for years, says his double 

 violet crop is a total failure this year. 

 He will commence to throw them out this 

 week and get the houses ready for other 

 stock. His single crop never was better. 



Miss Ballenger, of the Washington Flo- 

 rists Co., has returned from her outing 

 in Maryland. 



Mr. Prichard, of Gudes', is back at the 

 old stand. 



H. Gottenkieng, of Gudes', is off on 

 a two weeks' gunning expedition. Miss 

 Brueninger, Gudes' bookkeeper, is off to 

 the seashore for a couple of weeks. 



Geo. A. Comley is putting in a twelve 

 horse-power boiler at his plant at Do- 

 minion Heights, Va. 



G. A. Phillips opened his Fourteenth 

 street store September 15. He has been 



experimenting with some glass -at his 

 country home at Hyattsville, Md. 



E G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., is in 

 town this week. O. O. 



NEW BEDFORD. MASS. 



There is little doing here in the way of 

 cut flower sales, but funeral work is 

 heavy and there are plenty of asters to 

 do it with. A few carnations are to be 

 seen, but stems are short. Roses are im- 

 proving. 



September 13 was Flower Sunday. The 

 cemetery board sent out thousands of 

 postals to grave owners, and there was 

 a fairly good demand for cut stock, al- 

 though many relied on their gardens. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its annual exhibition September 

 10 to 12. There were some fine dahlias 

 on exhibition and John Lewis Childs, 

 of Floral Park, N. Y., made an excel- 

 lent display of gladioli. 



Ashley & Henberger are growing only 

 the newer sorts of carnations this sea- 

 son, and the stock looks well. 



William Mosher will be strong on vio- 

 lets this year. He reports a good call 

 for Flower Sunday W. L.
