The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Febbuabt 18, 1909. 



W ASHINGTO N. 



The Market. 



Business last week was a record-breaker 

 with most stores, and stock was scarce. 

 Tulips are most plentiful at present, 

 Valentine's day, from all* reports, was 

 good, but would have been better had 

 it been on a week day. Violets sold 

 better than ever, but there were enough 

 to go around. 



Various Notes. 



Most of the stores had Valentine win- 

 dows, displaying huge red hearts pierced 

 with a golden arrow. George Shaffer's 

 window had a heart made of violets and 

 orchids, which showed up finely. 

 - David Bisset, of Garrett Park, Md., 

 is sending in some of the finest single 

 violets that reach this market. 



The Washington Florists' Co. had a 

 Lincoln window for February 12, with 

 a photograph of President Lincoln, a 

 lot of split rails and an old ax. The 

 whole arrangement was very artistic. 



The Gude Bros. Co. had the decoration 

 for a tea reception given by the Prin- 

 cess Kalanianaole for the ex-queen of the 

 Hawaiian islands. Palms and blooming 

 plants were banked throughout the house. 

 The parlor was done in white roses 

 and lilacs, the reception hall in Golden 

 Gate roses. The main feature of the 

 decoration was the table, done in the 

 royal colors, purple and white. The 

 chandelier over the table was done in 

 asparagus, cattleyas and oncidiums, with 

 bows of ribbon. A branched, moss-cover- 

 ed stump on the center of the table was 

 arranged with orchids and Farleyense 

 ferns. Huge bows of purple and yellow 

 ribbon were used on the table. 



George Cook had the dinner for Sen- 

 ator Depew, using 800 carnations and 

 Farleyense. All the different shades of 

 pink were used. The decoration consisted 

 of eight pieces and was very effective. 



There was an unusual demand for 

 funeral work this week, both in and out 

 of town. The funeral of Mr. Adams, an 

 official of the Southern railway, called 

 for some large pieces. A large stand- 

 ing wreath, made of red roses, white 

 lilac, violets and valley, was especially 

 fine; also a casket cross made solid 

 of violets, with clusters of cattleyas and 

 valley. There were a great many wreaths 

 and other designs too numerous to men- 

 tion, nearly all high class work. 



Mrs. J. A. Phillips has been quite 

 ill, but is on the mend again. 



A report of the death of John H. 

 Small will be found in this week's obit- 

 uary column. O. O. 



Obeblin, O. — Harry A. Cook will 

 shortly open a flower store, to be run in 

 connection with his greenhouses.
