The Florists' Review 



NOTEMBEB S, 1014. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



The first frost of the season came 

 last week and destroyed most of the 

 dahlias, cosmos and outdoor chrysan- 

 themums that had not been protected. 

 Indoor chrysanthemums, roses and car- 

 nations are at last coming into their 

 own, but the two latter are not in 

 heavy supply. Prices have advanced 

 slightly over previous quotations. Gar- 

 denias are becoming more plentiful. 

 Sweet peas are now to be had, and 

 as the season advances, violets are be- 

 coming more plentiful, but this mar- 

 ket calls almost entirely for singles. 

 American Beauty roses have shown a 

 marked improvement, and are bring- 

 ing from $1 to $4 per dozen. - 



Various Notes. 



A quite satisfactory Hallowe'en 

 business has been reported. Far more 

 dances were held this year than ever 

 before, and the banquet and ball given 

 by the Moving Picture Exhibitors' 

 League of the District of Columbia 

 ■called for a large supply of flowers. 

 The stage decorations were done by 

 George C. Shaffer, while all of the flo- 

 rists got their share of the cut flower 

 business. Additional hotel decorations 

 proved a source of profit to the down- 

 town florists, for special celebrations 

 were had in all. 



Among the week 's visitors were Mr. 



and Mrs. G. W. Gordon, of Ashland, 



Va.; G. L. Freeman, of Fall River, 



Mass., and Joseph J. Goudy, of Phila- 



.. delphia. 



A petition for the dissolution of the 

 Florists' Exchange, 1214 H street, 

 northwest, has been filed in the District 

 Supreme court by Arthur A. Niessen, 

 of Philadelphia, who says he owns for- 

 ty-two shares of the corporation's 

 fltock, all that has ever iDeen issued. 

 The petition states that the assets are 

 about $2,000, and that there are no 

 debts or other incumbrances. Attorney 

 Charles F. Diggs represents the peti- 

 tioner. 



Nearly 25,000 people have attended 

 the annual chrysanthemum show of the 

 Department of Agriculture, which has 

 been held during the last week. Eigh- 

 teen hundred plants were exhibited, 

 representing about 150 varieties of 

 ■double chrysanthemums, 170 varieties 

 of singles and the pompons. C. L. L.
