The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 13, 1911. 



WASHINGTON, D. 0. 



The Weather Bureau thermometer at 

 the street kiosk on Pennsylvania ave- 

 nue has showed but three days be- 

 tween June 20 and July 9 when the 

 temperature was below 90 degrees. 

 Most of the time it was over 100, and 

 on two successive days it was 107 de- 

 grees. This will give an idea of what 

 one ?an expect of stock, also of busi- 

 ness. Outside flowers are poor, due 

 almost entirely to the weather. 

 Phlox is dried up and gladioli are 

 scarce and far from satisfactory. 

 Asters are coming in slowly. They 

 are suffering from dryness, are small 

 and have poor stems. Dahlias do not 

 amount to much, but they are in fair 

 supply. Carnations range from $1 to 

 50 cents, and they seem to hold their 

 own in popular esteem. Mrs. Taft is 

 about the best rose on the local mar- 

 ket. The Washington Florists found 

 this rose on its place and named it. 

 Being unable to identify it or learn 

 its origin, it was sent to A. N. Pier- 

 son, at Cromwell, Conn., who praised 

 it and has been handling it. It has 

 been identified as Prince de Bulgarie, 

 but locally it is still sold as Mrs. Taft. 

 It is a light pink with deeper center. 

 New Beauties are coming along in 

 pretty good condition for the first 

 summer roses, but the buds are small. 

 Roses, in short, are running a little 

 better than usual for this season. 

 Killarney is clean but not quite up 

 to standard, and Bride is poor. Kai- 

 serin is accounted the best white. 

 Caladiums are shown in the windows 

 and are selling freely. 



The Florists' Club outing this week 

 promises to be one of the most agree- 

 able occasions of the kind in many 

 years. A big program of sports and 

 speeches has been prepared. There 

 will be visitors from Baltimore and 

 other cities. 



Most of the flower stores have re- 

 arranged their show windows and the 

 popular design is composed of water, 

 rocks, lilies and general rustic effects. 

 Marche, Gude, Small, the Washington 

 Florists and others have produced ex- 

 ceptionally attractive windows. 



F. J. D. 



La Salle, 111. — Ella J. Porter is now 

 nicely established in her new store, at 

 623 First street. The formal opening 

 was held July 1. 



Saratoga, N. Y. — Henry Schrade is 

 entitled to the title of .the Broadway 

 florist, having a handsome store on 

 that popular boulevard. Keeping up a 

 good supply taxes the resources of his 

 large plant.
