Goncnt Comment 



The cloudy weather last week had a 

 telling effect on the Christmas cut of 

 roses. T'he Beauty groovers in this sec- 

 tion will have enough to go around. They 

 are listed at $12 to $15 per dozen for the 

 best, wholesale. Poinsettias were never 

 better; large vases and baskets are to 

 be seen in all the windows. 



There is an abundance of holly this 

 year. It is fine and well berried. 

 Farmers with wagon loads can be seen on 

 the streets all day long and it sells for 

 almost any price. Mistletoe is also plen- 

 tiful and good. While there is plenty 

 of the winter berries to be had, they 

 have a tendency to drop more freely than 

 other years. 



Christmas trees are only handled by a 

 few of the florists to any great extent. 

 W. W. Kimmel is probably the largest 

 dealer in this line. He wholesales and 

 retails. George C. Shaffer and Z. D. 

 BIackist«ne handle quite a few. The 

 trees this year are fine; they bring about 

 the same price as last year. 



Azaleas are plentiful. The Gude Bros. 

 Co. will have an unusually large number 

 to wholesale this year. 



Last week was a busy one. The chief 

 of the District of Columbia Fire Depart- 

 ment died very suddenly, which called 

 for a large number of pieces. There 

 were four heaped wagon loads sent to 

 the cemetery and every florist in town 

 had some. There were wreaths, bunches, 

 ladders, gates ajar and every other 

 known funeral design. Two of the de- 

 signs were particularly attractive. One 

 of these was a fire alarm box on a post, 

 with the number of his last alarm. The 

 other was a horse and chief 's buggy. The 

 horse was made of white carnations and 

 the buggy of Enchantress carnations. 

 The harness was of purple chenille. The 

 base was of white mums, roses and 

 orchids. 



Quite a number of pieces were sent
