qualities of the flowers helped to make 

 this exhibition one that will be remem- 

 bered by all who attended. 



Vasious Notes. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. report an 

 active demand for anthracite coal, the 

 domestic sizes being most in demand. 

 The holidays, Mitchell day. All Saints' 

 day and Election day, have interfered 

 mth production. In the bituminous coal 

 field there is a marked scarcity of cars, 

 making it necessary to place orders con- 

 siderably in advance. 



E. J. Irwin, of Skidelsky & Irwin Co., 

 attributes the shortage in the large sizes 

 of Japanese bulbs to the drought, the 

 bulbs usually reaching 7x9 and 8x10 hav- 

 ing failed to attain that size. The stock 

 received is in excellent condition. A 

 shortage in the best lily of the valley 

 eeems probable. 



Charles H. McKubbin, of Henry A. 



Dreer Co., reports that the shortage in 

 eatable pea seed is as serious as antici- 

 pated, but his company has been able to 

 secure sufScient seed to supply the de- 

 mands of all its regular customers. 



The Germantown Horticultural Society 

 held its monthly meeting in the lecture 

 room of Association hall, Monday eve- 

 ning, November 8. George B. Kaiser 

 gave an able talk on ' ' Botanical Observa- 

 tions in New England and New York." 

 Premiums were awarded for cut and pot 

 chrysanthemums. Phil. 



HoLYOKE, Mass. — Andrew D. Gallivan, 

 of the firm of Gallivan Bros., and Miss 

 Julia Hallissey, of Davis street, were 

 married Tuesday morning, October 26, at 

 the Sacred Heart church. The couple 

 went to New York and Washington to 

 spend their honeymoon. Their home will 

 be at 3 Davis street. 



VASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Trade last week was good, with quite 

 a bit of funeral work to clean up the 

 short stock, and a wedding or party, 

 now and then, calling for first-class 

 stock. 



Mums are not in abundance, there- 

 fore few go to waste, which speaks well 

 for the retailers. 



Eoses are coming better each week, the 

 supply of firsts still being limited, with 

 My Maryland taking the lead in pink. 

 Brides in white, and Eichmond in red. 

 Carnations are improving each week, 

 bringing 3 and 4 cents. Violets and 

 valley are in fine shape. 



Various Notes. 



E. J. Fancourt, of Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., Philadelphia, was a caller here last 

 week. 



At a fire Sunday, November 7, $20,000 

 damage was done, including a carload of 

 Sunlight double glazed sash for the D 'Al- 

 corn Bulb Farm at Congress Heights. 

 ' Fred H. Kramer is holding a formal 

 opening this week, November 8 to 14, 

 which is attracting nearly as much at- 

 tention as the annual show of the Flo- 

 rists' Club. Mr. Kramer's new store, at 

 916 F street N. W., covers 10,000 square 

 feet, about half of which is given over 

 to a conservatory, 26x100, in the rear of 

 the showrooms proper. Mr. Kramer has 

 spared no pains to make this one of the 

 finest and most pretentious stores in the 

 country, and during the opening week an 

 orchestra will render selections every 

 afternoon. The conservatory is cement 

 floored, steam heated, well ventilated and 

 sunny, and is arranged with a view to 

 getting the best results. The sales and 

 showroom has plastered walls, attractively 

 painted, a sheet metal ceiling and with 

 the new furnishings and balcony offices 

 makes as fine a store as can be found 

 anywhere. 



The entire basement is fitted up as a 

 work and storage room, comfortably ar- 

 ranged for the filling of orders, and has 

 a driveway leading directly to it from 

 the rear of the property. Mr. Kramer 

 started in business eight years ago with 

 a basement storeroom of 700 square feet. 

 His rapid and complete success is largely
