had a large decoration November 25 for 

 the Masonic smoker. The large ball 

 room at Kauscher's was converted into 

 a garden scene, requiring fifty cedar 

 trees, palms, southern smilax and hun- 

 dreds of colored electric lights. The 

 same firm also had the decorations at the 

 Chinese legation November 21 for the 

 memorial service for the dead emperor. 

 A floral altar, in a setting of palms, 

 southern smilax, yellow mums and white 

 roses, was used. 



Mr. Marche, who recently opened a 

 flower store on Eighteenth street, N. W., 

 lias leased a downtown store at the cor- 

 ner of Fourteenth and H streets for a 

 term of years. This is considered a fine 

 location for an up-to-date flower store. 

 He will open about December 1. He will 

 sell his uptown store; in fact, he has 

 practically closed a deal for its sale. It 

 will continue as a flower store. 



Tke latest reports coming in from the 

 ■flower show make the committee feel 

 more elated than ever over the success 

 of the show. The last night, Sunday, 



the show was packed to the doors. The 

 only certificate given was to Mrs. Levi 

 Leiter, for specimen plants exhibited by 

 her gardener, Sam Simmonds. 



Mr. Peterson, of Cincinnati, O., made 

 his usual visit for this season of the 

 year, with a fine lot of samples of his 

 begonias and ferns. He showed some 

 fine Lorraine, as well as Pink Lorraine, 

 and his new begonia, Pres. Taft. 



Mr. Craig, of Philadelphia, and H. 

 Bayersdorfer, Jr., were in town. O. 0. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



On this day of writing, November 23, 

 the thermometer stands at 58 degrees. 

 Store doors are wide open and trade is 

 rushing — by the door. Business has been 

 depressing the last week or so and stock 

 none too plentiful, so conditions were not 

 so bad for both sides. 



Cltib Exhibition. 



Ever since the organization of the new 



Florists' Club the enthusiasm has in- 

 creased wonderfully and each affair has 

 surpassed the preceding. The same has 

 proven equally true of the recent flower 

 show held at the Iroquois hotel last week. 

 The membership roll of the club in- 

 creased lately and brought in W. J, Pal- 

 mer, and our president made him chair- 

 man of the arrangement committee. He 

 ably filled the bill, for with the help of 

 his able supporters it was the grandest 

 success of the club. All 'money matters 

 were dispensed with and the competition 

 was for glory and satisfaction. 



The affair was first arranged to be on 

 show for one day and to invite such 

 business men as the committee thought 

 might take an interest in forming a hor- 

 ticultural society such as other cities 

 have. The success of the show was so 

 marked and worked out so beautifully 

 that the committee decided to run it one 

 more day. The hall was well filled with- 

 out being crowded and everything showed 

 off to advantage. Through the kindness 

 of E. D. Smith, E. G, Hill, Bassett & 

 Washburn, Scheiden & Schoos, Peter
