CARNATIONS 



Fine, strong cuttings, well rooted and in perfect health. 

 In making up your list of varieties to grow next season, 

 do not fail to include our two leaders. St. Nicholas is prov- 

 ing itself the best all-season scarlet. It will cover the whole 

 season. Pocahontas is the only crimson that will grade 

 up with the best standard sorts. If you grow any crimson, 

 grow Pocahontas. ^^ ^^

WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Washington retailers are well pleased 

 with the volume of the St. Valentine 's 

 day business. The rush made the stores 

 look as if they were handling an Easter 

 -or Christmas business. Extra help was 

 necessary in many instances and the de- 

 signers were pushed to the limit, A 

 number report good sales of potted 

 plants. 



There is some little demand for yel- 

 low calla lilies, magnolias, peach, crab- 

 "apple and other spring blossoms, and 

 none of these can be supplied by local 

 growers, with the result that business 

 is being turned away. Other novelties 

 are also in demand and this will be in- 

 creased during inaugural week. 



The supply of roses is still small, 

 compared with the demand. Carnations 

 are meeting with a ready sale. Violets 

 are being retailed on the streets at 

 wholesale prices. The supply of snap- 

 dragon is larger, but as it is in ready 

 demand none is left over. Locally grown 

 Easter lilies seem just now to be a little 

 better than those coming in from out-of- 

 town points and are meeting with ready 

 sale at about $12.50. 



While it is generally believed that 

 the usual Easter stock will be of suffi- 

 cient quantity to meet all demands, and 

 maybe more, there is likely to be a 

 shortage of rambler roses. The growers 

 report that spirseas, azaleas, lilacs, rho- 

 dodendrons and other plants will be 

 ready in ample time. 



Various Notes. 



Harrington Mills, William F. Gude 

 and Charles E, Berry were the judges 

 of the store decorations in connection 

 with the automobile carnival last week. 

 George Cooke decorated the Post cup 

 winner. Nine 6-foot basket urns were 

 filled with American Beauty and Kil- 

 larney roses and other blooms. The walls 

 and ceiling were draped with smilax. 

 The McReynolds trophy went to a dec- 

 oration done by J. H. Small & Sons. 

 jjTheir display consisted of walls, ceiling 

 and floor pillars covered ■vfrith smilax; 

 vases and boxes of tulips, azaleas, daffo- 

 dils and American Beauty roses. O. A. C.

excellent showing he made in carrying 

 out an original design. For his cus- 

 tomer he installed a veritable forest of 

 spruce trees and clinging vines, lighted 

 up by .Japanese lanterns of fantastic 

 colors. To one side at the rear was the 

 "old well" with its sweep. There was 

 also the large stone wall and garden 

 seats. Azaleas, lilacs and other bloom- 

 ing plants completed the decoration, 

 which was surely a prize winner.
