The Market. 



The rising temperature late last week 

 caused an overproduction in many lines 

 and carnations, which have heretofore 

 held up well at $4 and $5 per hun- 

 dred, dropped to $2. From freezing to 

 spring-like weather caused the streets 

 to be filled again with venders, who 

 oflPered sweet peas, violets and other 

 flowers at low figures. The wholesale 

 price on sweet peas dropped almost out 

 jaf sight and violets were forced down 

 in a similar manner. While roses as a 

 whole are somewhat cheaper than they 

 have been, the higher grades continue 

 to bring good prices, as of these there 

 are not enough to go around. American 

 Beauty roses are more plentiful and 

 while at the present time Richmonds 

 are not good, promise is made that 

 within the next two weeks they will be 

 seen in excelljent condition. 



Various Notes. 



Adolph Farenwald, ex-president of the 

 American Rose Society, was a guest of 

 the Gude brothers last week. While 

 here he conferred with William F. Gude 

 regarding the affiliation of the local 

 club with the S. A. F. and this matter 

 will be brought before the club by Mr. 

 Gude at the March meeting. 



A number of the members of the 

 ladies' auxiliary of the Florists' Club 

 were recently the guests of the ladies' 

 auxiliary of the Baltimore club. The 

 Washington ladies, including Mrs. Geo. 

 H. Cooke, Mrs. Elmer C. Mayberry, 

 Mrs. Stauf, Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. George 

 Shaffer and Mrs. Niedomanski, were met 

 at the Baltimore terminal of the elec- 

 tric line by Mrs. Bauer, Mrs. Kline, 

 Mrs. William McKissick and Mrs. 

 Quick and were escorted to Baum's 

 cafe, where preparations had been made 

 for luncheon. In the afternoon the en- 

 tire party visited Poli 's theater and fol- 

 lowing the performance they returned to 

 the cafe, where a turkey dinner was 

 enjoyed. In the evening they were 

 joined by a number of the gentlemen at 

 a bowling alley, where a tournament 



was held, several of the ladies giving 

 an exc^lent demonstration. The return 

 trip was made to Washington over the 

 trolley line late in the evening. The 

 Baltimore ladies will be guests of the 

 local auxiliary about the middle of 

 April. 



Francis Femberton, at one time em- 

 ployed by Thomas F. Galvin and Penn 

 Bros., of Boston, Mass., has entered the 

 employ of.Z. D. Blackistone. 



Among the visitors last week were 

 D. T. Connor, with Lord & Burnham 

 Co.; Joseph Goudy, with H. A. Dreer, 

 and H. F. Michell, all of Philadelphia; 

 also R. T. Beers, representing A. N. 

 Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn., who 

 displayed that concern's new rose, 

 Hadley. 



George Earl Eckendorf, who has been 

 with Gude Bros. Co. for the last few 

 years, has accepted a position as drafts- 

 man under the district government. 



C. L. L. 



Framingham, Mass. — Returning home 

 from Cleveland, President S. J. Goddard 

 sent to Professor White, at Cornell, a 

 handsome box of carnations, Pink De- 

 light, Gorgeous, Rosette, White Perfec- 

 tion, Beacon, Benora and Yellow Prince, 

 <*very one of which does splendidly with 

 him, although he rather favors Yellow- 

 stone, of the two yellows, for freedom 

 and form of flower. The award for the 

 best preserved blooms at the Cleveland 

 show has been duly framed. Of the 

 700 blooms taken not one was broken 

 or went to sleep in transit.
