stating that the Truck Fanners' Asso- 

 ciation had appointed a committee of 

 five, that the Shippers ' Association will 

 do the same at its next meeting, dur- 

 ing this month, and that all the differ- 

 ent committees will meet together 

 shortly and the results of that meeting 

 will be brought before the members of 

 the society at its next meeting, in De- 

 cember. 



Dan Newsham and John BoUwinkle 

 were elected members of the society. 



Bichard Eichling, foreman of U. J. 

 Virgin's nursery, read a paper on "A 

 Few Foliage Plants for the Wholesale 

 and Retail Market," describing in 

 brief the profitable culture of such 

 plants as Areca lutescens, Livistona 

 rotundifolia, Latania Borbonica, dra- 

 csenas and crotons. He exhibited Areca 

 lutescens, Dracaena fragrans and four 

 varieties of crotons, all in perfect con- 

 dition. 



The Metairie Ridge Nursery Co., 

 Harry Papworth, president, had an elab- 

 orate exhibit of greenhouse-grown 

 chrysanthemums, which attracted a 

 great deal of attention. Most note- 

 worthy among them were perfect 

 blooms of Beatrice May, Colonel Ap- 



Eleton and M. Loiseau Rousseau. Harry 

 >ressel, the expert rose grower for the 

 same firm, showed some fine vases of 

 American Beauty, Bridesmaid, Bride, 

 Kaiserin, The Queen, Mrs. Roosevelt, 

 Chateau de Clos Vougeot, and a vase of 

 twelve varieties of imported and do- 

 mestic new roses, especially grown for 

 trial purposes. Mr. Dressel has been 

 highly successful in growing roses under 

 glass since taking charge of the Me- 

 tairie Ridge Nursery rose houses. 



J, A. Newsham exhibited a fine speci- 

 men of the butterfly orchid from Guate- 

 mala.

The Market. 



Business might be better, and it is 

 getting better. Weddings have beien 

 numerous of late. The football game 

 between the Georgetown and Virginia 

 Universities, November 18, caused a big 

 demand for flowers. The rah-rah boys 

 cleaned out all the yellow mums in 

 town for their sweethearts and rela- 

 tives. The coming Army and Navy 

 game is expected to help some more. 



Violets are good and going well. 

 Mums may be somewhat scarce this 

 week, as efforts will be made to avoid 



cutting, 80 as to supply the Thanks- 

 giving demand. Orchids are improving 

 in quality and the supply is sufficient, 

 although good TriansB is bringing $7.50 

 to $9 per dozen, and small "Percies" 

 sell for 35 to 50 cents. Valley is all 

 right. The demand for roses is growing 

 and their quality improving. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Florists * Club, at its 

 recent meeting, decided to continue as- 

 sembling in Gude's store, instead of 

 engaging permanent quarters elsewhere. 



The Flower Store will move shortly 

 from 2926 Fourteenth street to the 

 corner of Fourteenth and Harvard 

 streets.
