The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Febbuaby 4, 1909. 



WASHINGTON. 



State of Traxie. 



Stock is not overplentif ul ; there was a 

 scarcity of pink roses the latter part of 

 last week, and a good deal of out-of- 

 town stock was shipped in, especially 

 carnations. McKinley day was well ob- 

 served and all stores report a good carna- 

 tion trade. It no doubt would have been 

 much better had it not rained all day. 

 Most of the windows displayed portraits 

 of McKinley, with carnation decorations. 

 One F street firm found several custom- 

 ers waiting in the rain for the store to 

 open to get their McKinley carnations. 



Tulips are arriving in quantity. There 

 are plenty of azaleas, but they are not 

 much in demand. 



Varioug Notes. 



J. H. Small & Son have a large vase 

 of fine forsythia in the window. 



Thomas & Sly, of the Center market, 

 had an all white dinner for Mrs. Nich- 

 olas Longworth, using Harrisii and white 

 lilac on the table and white flowers 

 throughout the house. They also had 

 several good sized weddings on last week. 



Gude Bros. Co. had the Fairbanks din- 

 ner. The table was done in Bridesmaid 

 roses and white lilac. They also had the 

 Berliner-Wasseman wedding at the New 

 Willard. The rooms were banked with 

 palms and blooming plants. The break- 

 fast table was done in pink azaleas, En- 

 chanter roses and white lilac. 



J. H. Small & Son had the Gridiron 

 Club banquet at the New Willard, Jan- 

 uary 30. The gridiron-shaped tables 

 Avere done in carnations, roses and spring 

 flowers. 



Vernon Ley has closed his Fourteenth 

 street store. 



Chas. Norton has closed his store on 

 Mt. Pleasant avenue. He is contemplat- 

 ing going into the wholesale business ex- 

 clusively. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Club will be held in the 

 Eagles' hall this week. At this meeting 

 nominations for officers will be made, to 

 be elected at the March meeting.
