The Market. 



Owing to the extremely cold weather 

 that prevailed here for a fortnight, 

 stock is rather low, but with the rise 

 in temperature, which occurred a day 

 or two ago, conditions are improving. 

 Prices are moderating and in a few 

 days it is expected thera will be plenty 

 of stock. At present, however, the 

 wholesalers' supply is less than the de- 

 mand. This is especially true of roses 

 and carnations. Lilies are not so scarce. 

 Some spring flowers are coming into 

 the market. These include freesias, 

 white lilac, forsythia, etc. 



Various Notes. 



The Pennock-Meehan Co. is showing 

 some of the first forget-me-nots, also 

 fine sprays of coelogyne. Manager Mc- 

 Kissick, of this firm, is confined to his 

 home with a bad cold. 



Gude Bros. Co. furnished the decora- 

 tions for the wedding of Miss Gulp, 

 daughter of the vice-president of the 

 Southern railway, and Mr. Porter, of 

 Birmingham, Ala., a few days ago, at 

 the Church of the Covenant. Easter 

 lilies and Killarney roses were used, 

 with wild smilax and palms. 



Local florists no longer have to burn 

 the midnight oil — ^literally — in stoves to 

 keep their stores from freezing out. 

 The freezing of Z. D. Blackistone 's 

 downtown greenhouse last week re- 

 sulted in a total loss of all the palms 

 and other plants stored therein, num- 

 bering several hundred. 



Blackistone 's decorations at a recent 

 White House dinner were pronounced 

 by Washington newspapers the finest 

 of their kind ever seen in the Presi- 

 dent's mansion. Orchids constituted 

 an important feature of the decorations. 



The alliterative Freeman's freesias 

 are fine, with extra long stems, but 

 Mrs. Freeman's manager says business 

 is dull. 



White and purple rhododendrons and 

 Scotch heather, the first seen here this 

 season, are seen at the store of the 

 Washington Florists Co. The report 

 that this firm will move into the up- 

 town city block where Blackistone, 

 Small and Marche are located is prac- 

 tically confirmed, but the move will 

 not be made for some time. 



Henry Pfister, 1120 Connecjticut a^^ 

 ue, has a new delivery wagon, re- 

 splendent in i[old. 



W. Marche this week has a big 

 decoration at the Washington Club. A
