The Weekly Florists' Review^^ 



Seftembbb 24, 1008. 



WASHINGTON. 



Current Comment. 



There has been an improvement all 

 along the line in the last week's busi- 

 ness, with plenty of stock, which is 

 coming much better. 



G. H. Small & Sons showed the first 

 mums. They had a fine vase of yellow 

 in their window. 



The Washington Florists Co. is cut- 

 ting some fine Cardinal roses. The firm 

 has grown this rose successfully for 

 the last two years. The new rose they 

 had last year is showing up finely. They 

 have a whole bench of it this year. It is 

 built like Killarney and has a fine, long 

 stem, with few thorns. In color it re- 

 sembles Golden Gate. It is beautiful 

 when full-blown and is a splendid keep- 

 er. It was much admired by E. G. Hill, 

 of Eichmond, Ind. 



The return of President and Mrs. 

 Roosevelt to the White House this week 

 will make quite a difference in social 

 affairs in Washington. The reopening 

 of the White House will bring back 

 about all of the cabinet and many of the 

 diplomatic corps. The coming season 

 is to be a gay one, as Miss Ethel Eoose- 

 velt is to make her debut. She being a 

 lover of flowers, there will be something 

 doing in that line. 



Z. D. Blackistone and family have re- 

 turned from their outing at Eiver 

 Springs, Md. 



Dan Blackistone and family have gone 

 to Baltimore, where he has taken a posi- 

 tion. 



Geo. A. Comley, after taking stock and 

 balancing up at his Wisconsin avenue 

 store, finds his business has been seventy- 

 five per cent better than last year. 



George Shaffer has just finished giving 

 his store a coat of paint inside and 

 out. It looks fresh and inviting. He 

 has just received from Baltimore a hand- 

 some open wagon, to be used for hauling 

 plants and decorative material. It is 

 green trimmed with gold, with a canopy 

 for the driver, • and is the finest of its 

 kind in the city. 



Gude Bros. Co. has in its windows a 

 vase of the Indian's Pipe, Monotropa 

 uniflora, a parasite, native in Virginia. 

 It attracts much attention, being a per- 

 fectly formed pipe. 



The Greek who held fort for the last 

 four years in the basement at the corner 

 of Thirteenth and F streets, and was 

 arrested for passing worthless checks, 

 has moved out all his belongings, and 

 quit. 



About thirty members decided to at- 

 tend the dahlia exhibition at the estab- 

 lishment of E. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., 

 White Marsh, Md., September 22. On 

 the return trip the Washington club will 

 be entertained by the Baltimore club 

 in the evening. 



At a meeting of the Washington Flo- 

 rists' Bowling Club the following of- 

 ficers were elected: President, J. J. 

 Barry; secretary and treasurer, G. Sup- 

 per; captain, Geo. C. Shaffer. Delegates 

 to represent the club in the District 

 League: Geo. C. Shaffer, Geo. H. Cooke 

 and J. J. Barry. 



A match game was arranged with the 

 Baltimore team for Tuesday evening,
