WASHINGTON. 



Tbe Market. 



There is general complaint that 

 flowers are scarce, and there is little 

 prospect of a change in this condition. 

 With the weather continuing cold, the 

 supply of all varieties has shortened 

 materially. The market has held firm 

 all the week, and the retail stores have 

 cleaned up nicely. American Beauty 

 roses of local growth are scarce, and 

 but few good ones are to be had. The 

 stock moves rapidly at $9 per dozen, 

 the top price of the season. There has 

 been no change in the quotation on 

 roses in the last three weeks. Carna- 

 tions are sligiitly cheaper than they 

 have been. The supply of gardenias 

 about meets all demands. 



There is a great abundance of bulb- 

 ous stock, especially narcissus, and by 

 reason of the low prices prevailing and 

 the lack of call for this flower, the far- 

 seeing growers are cutting it oflF their 

 lists. One large grower has placed no 

 orders for bulbs this year, and is not 

 likely to do so. Freesias are much 

 more plentiful than they have been. 

 Tulips are arriving in larger quantities, 

 but as yet the demand for these is not 

 heavy. Lilac is increasing in supply, 

 and some of the locally grown stock is 

 far superior to that imported, besides 

 being produced at smaller cost. On 

 Saturday, February 21, F street was 

 filled with flower venders offering vio- 

 lets at 25 cents per bunch, practicallyJ 

 as cheap as the retailer could buy them 

 in the market, but aside from this fact 

 the stores did a good business on the 

 home-grown stock. Sweet peas have in- 

 creased in price and have decreased in 

 supply. There is a fair demand for 

 valley at $4. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club of Washington 

 will hold its annual election March 3. 

 There will be no contest except, per- 

 haps, for the office of vice-president, 

 for which Messrs. Oehmler and Jenkins 

 are the candidates. 



Adolph Bowdler met with a sad loss 

 in the death of his little daughter, 

 Janet, last week. Her age was 9 

 months. 



Record was made last week of the 

 conveyance of the holdings of William 

 F. and Adolphus Gude to Gude Bros., 

 Inc. The holdings embrace in all 

 about thirty-seven acres of property, 

 and are located in two sections, one in 

 Anacostia, known as the Linger, Os- 

 good and Beasseau tracts, and the 

 other at the junction of Bladensburg 

 and Mount Olivet roads, formerly the 

 property of the American Eose Co. The 

 properties are improved by about 

 350,000 square feet of glass, outbuild- 

 ings, dwellings, etc. The consideration 

 is not recorded, but the corporation 

 gave the brothers a mortgage for $120,- 

 000 as part payment for the property.
