The Market. 



Considerable diflBculty la being ex- 

 perienced by growers of dahlias in this 

 locality in producing stock of good qual- 

 ity. There are far more blind eyes 

 than have ever before been noticed, and 

 it seems as though some sort of rot pre- 

 vents the buds from opening up. The 

 stems are so brittle that they have to 

 be handled extremely carefully. Just 

 what the cause of this condition is 

 cannot be ascertained. The foliage is 

 fine, but there is far too much of it. 

 As a result, but little locally grown 

 stock is to be had. In other years at 

 about this period the market was liter- 

 ally swamped with dahlias, but now it is 

 fairly hard to fill orders. 



Aside from dahlias, the local market 

 has far more fall flowers than it can 

 readily take care of. Tuberoses are 

 among the new arrivals, but meet with 

 no demand. Cosmos is. to be had in large 

 quantities and is meeting with a good 

 sale. Orchids are more plentiful; some 

 of the finest cattleyas ever seen in this 

 market are now to be had. The first 

 Lilinm rubrum and auratum are offered 

 at $10 per hundred and for these there 

 is a limited demand. The market for 

 Easter lilies is sluggish, due to the de- 

 crease in the amount of funeral work. 



Various Notes. 



S. C. Briggs is sending in exception- 

 ally fine orchids. His cattleyas, oncid- 

 inms, vandas and Dendrobium for- 

 mosum are receiving favorable com- 

 ment. 



The Washington Florists Co. is be- 

 ginning to cut some choice roses, and 

 especially good are Eussell, Shawyer 

 and Mrs. Aaron Ward. 



The Leo Niessen Co., of Baltimore and 

 Philadelphia, last Friday, September 18, 

 oonipleted the transfer of the business 

 formerly operated as the Washington 

 Florists' Exchange, at 1214 H street, 

 northwest. The new owners plan to 

 greatly enlarge the scope of this busi- 

 ness and its facilities. Albert Schnell, 

 who has been the manager of this es- 

 tablishment, will continue in that posi- 

 tion. 



William Marche has returned from a 

 trip to Philadelphia, where he made 

 numerous/purchases of stock, including 

 palms and ferns, in preparation for his 

 fall business. 



Charles E. Meehan, of the S. S. Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, spent 

 several days at the local store of that

 week. 



While cranking his automobile last 

 week, Frank Bolgiano, son of F. W. 

 Bolgiano, broke his right wrist. He is 

 reported to be getting along nicely. 



To check what is said to be a growing 

 tendency of business houses to omit the 

 street and number from their addresses, 

 First Assistant Postmaster-general Ro- 

 per" has issued an order to postmasters 

 directing that hereafter mail addressed 

 to such persons shall not be given the 

 benefit of directory and carrier service, 

 but shall be placed in the general de- 

 livery.
