WASHINGTON, D. 0. 



The Market. 



Stock in general is more plentiful and 

 better at the present time than it has 

 been all summer. Quantities of good 

 roses, considering the season of the year, 

 are to be seen in the store windows 

 and the ice-boxes are fairly well filled 

 with choice stock. Prices range from $4 

 to $8 per hundred. Particularly notice- 

 able in this market are the new crop 

 American Beauty roses, which are fine 

 and of a suflScient quantity to supply all 

 demands. Asters are at their height 

 and are being sold without price; that 

 is, a small quantity moves and the bal- 

 ance reaches the waste barrel. Carna- 

 tions from the new plants are in fairly 

 good shape and have ready sale at $2 

 per hundred. There has been a better 

 supply of all varieties of flowers this 

 summer than in any previous year. Up 

 to the present time there has been 

 plenty of good valley, orchids and gar- 

 denias to satisfy all calls. Business as 

 a whole has been better also, due in 

 part to the fact that Congress remained 

 longer in session than it usually does. 



Various Notes. 



That automobiles are finding favor 

 with the local florists is emphasized by 

 the many new cars being delivered to 

 the trade. Among the recent purchasers 

 of machines is W. B. Shaw, of Brook- 

 land, D. C, who grows water lilies for 

 the trade. 



The birth records of Washington were 

 materially increased during the month 

 of August by numerous arrivals in the 

 families of the local trade. Smiles may 

 be seen on many faces, including those 

 of L. E. Hoover, of Mayberry & Hoover, 

 whose family has been increased by a 

 9-pound son. Hardy Pritchard is father 

 to a girl, as is E. L. Bauers, with the 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., and Henry 

 Gottenkenny is walking the floor with 

 a boy. Messrs. Pritchard and Gotten- 

 kenny are employed at the store of 

 Gude Bros. Co. 



Washington's vacation list at the 

 present time is exceptionally heavy, es- 

 pecially in some of the larger stores. 

 At Kramer's Mrs. Florence DuBois has 

 just returned from a long stay in New 

 York and Atlantic City and Mrs. Kauf- 

 man from a visit to relatives and 

 friends in Parkersburg, Va. Their re- 

 turn ■ makes possible the going of Mrs. 

 Morse to Ridge, Md., for three weeks; 

 Mrs. Ruppert to New York and New- 

 port, and A. S. Sawyer to Atlantic City. 

 Miss Myrtine Atwell, manager of the 

 Ninth Street store, is spending several 

 weeks at Colonial Beach. 



O. A. C. Oehmler soon returns from 

 his stay of a month at his cottage at 

 Colonial Beach. Hardy Pritchard has 

 gone to join his wife in St. Matthews, 

 Ky., and Walter Hawley is now in 

 Maine. Lewis Hohman and Harry Ken- 

 nelly are also out of the city. 



E. C. Mayberry has returned from a 

 fishing trip with W. W. Kimmel, Harry* 

 Lewis and others near Blackistone 's Is- 

 land, and Mr. and Mrs. Z. D. Blacki- 

 stone have returned from a stay at 

 Arundel-on-the-Bav. C. L. L. 



Manchester, Mass. — Axel Magnuson is 

 building a greenhouse, 30x100, besides 

 an ofiice and boiler room, on the large 

 field which he recently purchased on 

 Vine street. He expects to remove his 

 busincFs, eventually, from Bridge street 

 to this new location.
