 still we can supply the Mediums and Short grades for all who want them. If your trade calls for "the best there 

 is" you'll naturally come to us, but we are equally anxious for your orders for good stock in medium and short 

 lengths. No order too large for us to handle and no order too small to receive our careful attention.

its "Mexican" ivy, since the flower 

 show. 



The red berries this year are of extra 

 good quality. 



Weiland & Eisch say the business situa- 

 tion begins to look much better to them. 



J. A. Budlong estate has equipped 

 each of its growers with rubber boots 

 and apron, and reports this consideration 

 'of the employee's comfort pays well in 

 better work. 



The old Maud Dean chrysanthemum, 

 as Poehlmann Bros. Co. is now cutting it, 

 leaves little to be desired in the way of 

 pink chrysanthemums. 



The Benthey-Coatsworth Co. is figuring 

 on increasing its planting of Beauty 

 roses for next season. 



George Eeinberg has his new store at 

 51 Wabash avenue now fitted up in fine 

 shape. 



Kruchten & Co. report a good business 

 in chrysanthemums, although prices are 

 not yet up to previous seasons. 



J. B. Deamud Co. reports business 

 steadily on the increase. 



Scheiden & Schoos sent an exhibit of 



President Taff carnation td the Buffalo 

 show last week. Bassett & Washburn 

 sent the O. P. Bassett and Peter Rein- 

 berg sent Mrs. Field rose. Each re- 

 ceived a letter of appreciation. 



August Jurgens has an automobile, for 

 practical purposes, not ornamental. 



Martin Beukauf evidently likes Chi- 

 cago. He has been making his head- 

 quarters here for the last three weeks. 



Among recent visitors were Myer Hel- 

 ler, of New Castle, Ind., and Miss Harriet 

 Jewell, Kansas City. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



That wave of prosperity that we have 

 been reading so much about must have 

 reached Washington, from present in- 

 dications. Everybody has been busy. 

 Weddings, dinners and some of those 

 old-time debut orders were booked this 

 week, and this is only a forerunner of 

 what is coming, according to the many 

 announcements in the social columns of 



the press. Chrysanthemums are still 

 plentiful and there is enough other stock 

 to go around. 



Variott* Notes. 



Blackistone had the Wood-Philson wed- 

 ding this week, which called for a lot of 

 white mums and roses. The church was 

 done in southern smilax, palms, autumn 

 foliage and white mums. At the wed- 

 ding breakfast there were four large 

 tables, seating sixty people. The center- 

 pieces were of Bride roses, Farleyense 

 and valley. White mums were used 

 throughout the house. Mr. Blackistone 

 has received a fine lot of kentia palms 

 from Dreer's, Riverton, N. J. 



The Washington Florists' Co. has 

 named its new rose Mrs. Taft. A de- 

 scription of this rose was given in the 

 Review during September. 



The Qude Bros. Co. had the decora- 

 tions for the unveiling of the Gen. Phil 

 Sheridan statue, November 24. This 

 called for 1,000 yards of specially made 

 laurel garland, 200 wreaths, all sizes, and 

 a quantity of pine brush. Gude's also
