WASHINOTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



"Washington is experiencing its first 

 touch of summer and the markets are 

 flooded with stock of all kinds. Prices 

 have dropped materially. Business has 

 dropped off quite heavily, although 

 some nice opportunities are occurring 

 for wedding and dinner decorations. 

 There is, however, a general complaint 

 of poor business and -this applies to 

 many lines. Some choice stock is be- 

 ing received in roses and snapdragon, 

 the latter being exceptionally fine. 



It was surprising to note the large 

 number of potted plants that were left 

 over after Easter. The business this 

 year was but fair, although not falling 

 below expectations. Corsage bouquets 

 were in greater demand this year than 

 ever before, but they were mostly of 

 the dollar variety. High priced plants 

 failed to find a market; everything 

 had to be of a medium price or it 

 stuck. 



Various Notes. 



Although it is reported that fewer 

 peddlers' licenses have been taken out 

 this year than ever before, it does not 

 seem as though the streets are any the 

 less populated by those vending 

 flowers. As a result of the agitation 

 by the florists, these peddlers will come 

 under a closer watch on the part- of 

 the police officials. 



Fred H. Kramer is confined to his 

 home by illness. He had a narrow es- 

 cape from an attack of pneumonia, but 

 was reported to have passed through 

 the dangerous period April 19. It will, 

 however, be several days before Mr. 

 Kramer can again attend to business. 



Society folks of Washington have 

 adopted a new style in the wearing of 

 bouquets, brought about by the tango, 

 and Miss Eleanor Wilson, who is soon 

 to become the bride of Secretary of the 

 Treasury McAdoo, was recently seen 

 wearing a corsage bouquet at her right 

 shoulder. When in this position, while 

 the wearer is dancing the tango, the 

 flowers are safe from harm, whereas, 

 with the new dances, a corsage bouquet 

 worn in the usual place would soon be 

 crushed. Thus the tango bouquet has 

 come into fame and an opportunity is 

 given to the florists to produce some- 

 thing just a little bit different from 

 the usual to further increase their 

 sales. C. L. L. 



BELVIDEBE, ILL. 



The Fairview Greenhouses, which 

 were for some months conducted by 

 Frank P. Brigham, on a lease from the 

 B. Eldredge estate, are now being run 

 by John Lyons, of this city, who is 

 growing some fine stock. This plant, 

 as stated in The Eeview two weeks 

 ago, when a picture of the houses was 

 shown, comprises 60,000 feet of glass 

 and produces splendid stock, which is 

 sent to the Chicago market.
