WASHINGTON. 



The Market 



The Christmas rush is her.e and all 

 hands are working overtime. The shops 

 are pretty well stocked with plants of 

 all descriptions, and all in pretty good 

 shape, too. Present conditions seem to 

 insure a satisfactory Christmas business. 



Poinsettias are exceptionally good this 

 season, with the supply unlimited. A 

 few double poinsettias are to be seen, 

 of exceptional quality. 



Red carnations are quite scarce and a 

 number of the retailers are not booking 

 orders for Christmas delivery, having 

 already sold their supply. Violets this 

 season are of unusually good quality. 

 The supply of roses will be limited. 

 Sweet peas are in fine shape, with a fair 

 supply. 



A good many florists are making good 

 use of the artificial poinsettias in their 

 display windows. It is a question as 

 yet undecided whether or not it is well 

 to encourage the sale of artificial flowers. 

 A customer may purchase a centerpiece 

 of artificial poinsettias for her Christ- 

 mas dinner table; after the affair is 

 over, she stores them away for future 

 use; the following year she hauls them 

 out again, using them for the second or 

 even the third time, and thereby the 

 florist loses two or three sales of natural 

 flowers. How does the florist profit? 



Various Notes. 



Mayberry & Hoover are quite busy 

 with the Christmas rush, which necessi- 

 tates the employing of extra help. 



Henry Pfister, on Connecticut avenue, 

 is busy with the trade of the elite. 



Mrs. William Partridge has gone to 

 her home in Cincinnati, O., to spend the 

 Christmas holidays. 



J. A. Peterson, the well known plant 

 grower of Cincinnati, O., made his 

 rounds among the florists of this city 

 last week. 



Z. D. Blackistone is able to be at his 

 place of business again. 



Marche & Co. are displaying a good 

 looking lot of stock. 



Theo. Diedrich, of Congress Heights, 

 has a fine lot of single violets, which are 

 readily salable in this market. 



W. F. 



Elizabeth, N. J. — The undertakers 

 and liverymen have combined against 

 the holding of funerals on Sunday. The 

 movement has the support of the clergy- 

 men and especially of the florists, who 

 also gain a day of rest.
