WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Business during the last week has 

 been as good as could be expected. There 

 has been quite a number of society 

 events, calling for the supply of room 

 and table decorations, and funeral work 

 has been plentiful. From the grower's 

 standpoint, however, the week has been 

 unsatisfactory. The daj's have been 

 mild and cloudy, causing the stock to 

 soften considerably. In Beauties the 

 demand is much heavier than the sup- 

 ply and there is also a shortage of other 

 roses, with the one exception of white. 

 The colored roses are out of crop in the 

 main, and what are coming in are 

 eagerly sought after. This condition has 

 caused a rise in the price of Beauties 

 from $5 and $6 for the best to $7.50 and 

 $9. The other roses are moving at from 

 $4 to $10, although as high as $15 per 

 hundred is being asked for choice stock. 



As a result of this shortage, stock has 

 been cleaned up well. Even carnations 

 are sold before they are cut and they 

 are fairly plentiful. Valley also is mov- 

 ing nicely. Some fine Golden Spur daf- 

 fodils have been seen on the ' market 

 during the last few days. Potted tulips 

 are being offered and the southern vio- 

 lets have started to come in. It is 

 reported that sales of these have been 

 made at as low as $1 per thousand, with 

 the result that the florists are using 

 single violets exclusively. 



Various Notes. 



An automobile parade is to be held 

 early in February, which should bring 

 some little business into the stores. This 

 parade will be a showing of the 1913 

 cars of the diflferent makes and will be 

 conducted by the manufacturers and 

 their agents. 



William F, Gude, chairman, has suc- 

 ceeded in getting an appropriation of 

 $7,000 from the inaugural committee 

 for expenditure by the sub-committee 

 on illuminations. With this money Mr. 

 Gude expects to burn up considerable 

 electricity between the White House 

 and the Capitol during the inaugural 

 festivities. .In this will be included 

 the lighting of the Botanical Gardens, 

 and the illumination of the large foun- 

 tain there, in colors.

next meeting of the Florists' Club and 

 this will also be the occasion of the 

 annual submission of nominations for 

 the officers of the society. There is bound 

 to be something in the way of contest, 

 as there are several in line for the top 

 honors. Plans will also be made for 

 the excursion to the New York show, 

 as it is expected that the committee 

 in charge will have something to report.

Council Bluffs, la. — Cyrus Capel, son 

 of Thomas Capel, was badly scalded 

 recently about the lower limbs, when 

 a steam pipe burst in the greenhouses. 

 Though the injuries were not serious, 

 they were painful and were likely to 

 confine the young man to his home for 

 some time.
