to line the courts of honor on either 

 side of the President's reviewing stand 

 during the inaugural parade. 



Washington florists are particularly 

 put out because President-elect Wilson 

 has declared against the inaugural ball 

 and other like festivities. George H. 

 Cooke states that this will materially 

 hurt business, as many of those who 

 planned to give private affairs will re- 

 frain from doing so. 



H. L. Lauscher, who was formerly 

 with Z. D. felackistone but now oper- 

 ates a store in Lynchburg, Va., was a 

 visitor here last week. Mr. Lauscher 

 reports business in Lynchburg to be ex- 

 ceptionally good. 



The La FoUette bill now pending in 

 Congress, which looks to limiting the 

 hours of female labor in the District of 

 Columbia, in all lines of work except 

 that of domestics, to eight hours per 

 day, six days per week, is being looked 

 upon unfavorably by those florists of 

 Washington who employ women in 

 their stores. The law reads that women 

 must not be employed more than eight 

 hours on any one day under any cir- 

 cumstances, and provides a good fine 

 for all violations and three inspectors 

 to look after possible violators. This 

 would be felt most seriously during the 

 Christmas holidays and at Easter. 



The bowling team of the Florists' 

 Club, consisting of Messrs. Ernest, cap- 

 tain; Schaffer, Simmons, McLennan, 

 Cooke, Dalglish, Eiker and Neideman- 

 ski, expects to go in a body to the big 

 show soon to be held in New York, 

 and hopes, while there, to obtain an 

 opportunity of pitting its skill against 

 florists' teams from other cities. This 

 is something in the way of a challenge. 



Following an illness of twelve weeks, 

 Bernard F. Diedrich, of Alexandria, 

 Va., passed away at his home in that 

 city, 709 Wythe street, February 1. He 

 was a native of Hanover, Germany, 

 where he was born sixty-eight years 

 ago. When about 20 years of age he 

 came to this country and made his 

 home in this city for about ten years, 

 then removing to Alexandria. He is 

 survived by nine children, six sons and 

 three daughters. C. L. L. 



Decatur, HL — C. W. Harrold has been 

 confined to his bed by illness for the 

 last two week* and business has been 

 held up in consequence.

NAEOISSI NOT FLOWEEINO. 



We would like to know something in 

 regard to our narcissi not blooming. 

 We planted two cases of 1,350 each 

 and they started well in flats and 4- 

 inch pots, mostly in pots. About one- 

 fourth of them have thrown blooms 

 and the rest have fine growths but no 

 sign of bloom or bud. We located them 

 as we always have when we had good 

 results. The bulbs cost us $11 per 

 case from a reliable Chicago seed firm. 

 Please let us know what you think 

 about them, as the room they" are tak- 

 ing is valuable to us for bedding 

 plants. L- B. 



You do not state whether the nar- 

 cissi are Paper Whites or one of the 

 trumpet varieties. I assume that they 

 are the former. If the flats were kept 

 too cool and damp in the early stages 

 of growth, many of the bulbs would 

 fail to flower, the flower spikes de- 

 caying just as they pushed from the 

 bulbs. The leaf growth would not be 

 affected at all. If this is not the" 

 cause, imperfect ripening of the bulbs 

 when dug in France may be responsi- 

 ble. The growing season there was an 

 unfavorable one last year, and of 

 course bulbs lifted before proper 

 maturation will flower poorly, if at 

 all. C. W. 



Chester, W. Va. — John E. Colton, who 

 some months ago rented C. A. Smith's 

 greenhouses, has now secured a lease, 

 also on the greenhouses of John T. 

 Neville, in the rear of Mr. Neville's 

 property on Carolina avenue. Mr. 

 Neville, who has been in the business 

 here for many years, will remove in the 

 near future to Pittsburgh, where he 

 and Mrs. Neville have accepted posi- 

 tions with a florist.
