WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



The continuous spring weather for the 

 last ten days has had a telling effect on 

 the foisythia and bulbous stock in the 

 parks. 



This has been another busy week. Con- 

 tinuous funeral work, receptions and din- 

 ners have kept everybody busy. Stock 

 is coming in more plentifully. 



Various Notes. 



Laurel roping and greens are com- 

 mencing to arrive for the inaugural fes- 

 tivities. The Gudes have started on the 

 court of honor. J. H. Small & Sons have 

 the ball in the pension oflSce. W. W. 

 Kimmel has the contract to plant 300 

 spruce trees at the approach to the new 

 Union station. It is estimated that be- 

 tween 25,000 and 50,000 yards of laurel 

 garland will be used for decorating. 



Ed. Barry, for years with the Amer- 

 ican Eose Co., is now with the Gude 

 Bros. Co. 



The next regular monthly meeting of 

 the Florists' Club will be held Tuesday, 

 March 2, at Eagles' hall. This will be 

 the time for the annual election of 

 officers and a large attendance is ex- 

 pected. 



S. S. Pennock was in town last week, 

 completing arrangements to open the 

 branch store of the Pennock-Meehan Co., 

 March 1, at 1212 New York avenue, 

 N. W. O. O. 



GALESBURG,ILL. 



I. L. Pillsbury reports business excel- 

 lent, both local trade and his mail-order 

 business in his patented carnation staple, 

 which he is sending all over the United 

 States. He was at Springfield last week 

 to exhibit a vase of carnations, the 

 bursted calyxes of which he had mended 

 with his staple, and was especially 

 pleased that the judges, Peter Olsem. 

 Geo. A. Kuhl and F. L. Washburn, all 

 men who grow and handle carnations, 

 should speak, in their report to the Illi- 

 nois State Florists' Association, of his 

 staple, adding "Which we consider a 

 very good thing."

PREPARE FOR EASTER 



An immense stock of Easter plants are 

 now ready for immediate shipment, bloom- 

 ing Easter week or before if desired. : : 



"From whom shall we purchase our Easter 

 supply this hcason?" That seems to be the cry 

 all over the country. "We tried so many." "I 

 know what I am going to do," some sensible 

 man says. "I shall go back to Godfrey Asch- 

 mann; I found him the truest and most reliable 

 man in the business. What he advertises he has, 

 and there is no bluff about it. I tell you his im- 

 mense stock of choice Azalea Indica can't be 

 beat, and he knows just exactly what people 

 want. And lilies! he has them this spring to beat 

 the band. The finest I ever saw. No wonder. He 

 imports them direct from Japan, where he has a 

 friend who looks after his interests and sends 

 him the cream of the island. He has such a 

 mass of it that he can supply all who want to 

 buy lilies. And don't talk about his other plants, 

 of which he has an equally large stock. I never 

 saw such a sight of Cineraria Hybrida 

 Orandiflora, hydrangeas, spiraeas, tnlipa. 

 hyacinths, ferns, arancarias. palms and 

 other stock as he has for Easter. He has a stock 

 of such abundance and beauty, and at such re- 

 markably low prices, that he is able to challenge 

 any rival firm in the country." 



A specialty with us is Azalea Indica, grown 

 for us under contract by an Azalea Specialist in 

 Belgium. Have houses full of the choicest 

 American varieties, right for Easter, such as 

 have never before been duplicated. Simon Mard- 

 ner (double pink), Dr. Hoore (double pink),
