Mention Tbe Keview wben you wnte 



by humorous monologue selections in 

 the Italian dialect by Edwin Callow, 

 a well known local entertainer. 



The Washington Florists' Co. dis- 

 played a large portrait of the late 

 President McKinley in its window just 

 preceding McKinley day. Manager 

 Bauer, however, said that not many 

 carnations were sold. 



John Allen, of Georgetown, a suburb 

 of Washington, has grown the first 

 white Murillo tulips, which are being 

 handled by the Washington Florists' 

 Exchange. They are fine. Mr. Allen 

 has also put on the market a quantity 

 of potted bulbous flowers, tulips, hya- 

 cinths, etc., including some blue grape 

 hyacinths. This is said to be the first 

 time the last named variety of flower 

 was ever grown on a commercial scale 

 in this vicinity. 



W. R. Gray, of Oakton, Va., is sup- 

 plying some exceptionally fine Paper 

 WLite narcissi. 



George Shaffer, Fourteenth and I 

 streets, reports business dull, but he 

 had two large decorations to do this 

 week. 



An interesting decoration was done 

 Saturday, January 27, by Gude Bros. 

 Co. at a dinner given by Mrs. W. F. 

 Draper in honor of the Italian ambas- 

 sador. Richmond and white roses were 

 used in numbers, besides palms and 

 other decorative plants. The Italian 

 coat of arms was done in carna- 

 tions, and flanked by the American and 

 Italian flags. 



Manager McKissick, of the S. S. 

 Pennock-Meehan Co., is back on the 

 job, convalescent from an attack of 

 grip which laid him up several days 

 last week. He is rather weak and 

 will have to take good care of himself 

 for a while. 



Mr. Martin, of Martin & Forbes, 

 Portland, Ore., is visiting here for the 

 first time in twenty years and renew- 

 ing his acquaintance with old florist 

 friends. He says business on the Pa- 

 cific coast is fair. H. C. H. 



Poughkeepsie, N. Y. — Jacob K. Bah- 

 rct's violets came through the below- 

 zero weather in good condition, but he 

 reports having heard of several houses 

 of violets that were frozen.
