WASHINGTON. 



The Washington Florists' Club, their 

 families, employees and friends, bad the 

 annual outing on the afternoon of 

 July 29. 



Great Falls was the chosen place for 

 the outing and it took two special cars 

 to carry the crowd. Both cars were elab- 

 orately decorated with cut flowers, vines 

 and American flags. 



The committee in charge consisted of 

 Geo. C. Shaffer, Edward Schmidt and M. 

 Mayberry. They arranged a program of 

 sports, the principal feature of which 

 was a tug-of-war between the growers and 

 retailers. 



Retail stores and greenhouses were 

 elosed at noon, so that all employees could 

 have a chance to go to the falls. 



NEW BEDFOBD. MASS. 



The Market. 



Except for funeral work, there is prac- 

 tically nothing doing. There is a slight 

 demand for bouquets and mixed bunches 

 for graves. Outaide of these calls the 

 usual summer dullness prevails. What 

 few carnations are coming in, are poor. 

 They retail at 35 cents per dozen. As- 

 ters are now the main support at 35 cents 

 per dozen retail. Sweet peas are abun- 

 dant; 25 and 50 cents per 100 blooms is 

 the retail price; they sell well put up in 

 5 and 10-cent bunches. Other outdoor 

 flowers are in abundance. Not many of 

 the florists care to handle roses just now, 

 as they are so poor. Lily of the valley 

 sells at 75 cents and $1 per dozen, retail. 

 Rain is badly needed. Stock in the fleld 

 is at a standstill, frequent hoeing being 

 the only remedy just now. 



Vaiiotu Notes. 



E. H. Chamberlain is receiving some 

 nice Queen of the Market asters in all 

 colors. 



Lawns around here are all burning up. 

 Forest fires are numerous, too. 



Wm. Livesey is busy shipping smilax 

 to the trade. 



Mum stock is looking fairly well. Many 

 florists are getting ready to start plant- 

 ing in the houses. 



The north end of the city is the place 

 chosen by the local horticultural society

for the annual flower show, to be held 

 this year in September. Lack of interest 

 shown is the reason given for not having 

 it in the center of the city. 



The way things look now, dahlias will 

 make but a poor showing, owing to the 

 dry spell. Warm weather prevails.
