The Florists' Review 



Febuuary 27, 191S. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



The Easter proposition is the main 

 topic of discussion in the different 

 stores at this time, the question being, 

 in view of the earliness of Easter, 

 whether or not there will be sufficient 

 stock to meet all demands. From out- 

 ward appearances it would seem as 

 though there will be enough, and pos- 

 sibly more, Easter lilies, spiraeas, lilacs, 

 azaleas, and some of the other flowers, 

 but hydrangeas and ramblers, in many 

 instances, are not setting buds to suit 

 the growers and it is doubtful if these 

 will be ready. Bulbous stock promises 

 to be exceptionally good this year and 

 •will be ready in large quantities. 



The cut flower market gives promise 

 of being plentifully supplied, with few 

 exceptions. 



Various Notes. 



Kobert Bowdler will this week open 

 a store at Fourteenth and I streets, 

 N. W., following the completion of the 

 work of decorators and electricians, who 

 have been making numerous changes in 

 the interior. This store was formerly 

 occupied by George C. Shaffer, who re- 

 cently moved across the street. L. L. 

 Bowdler, who has been running one of 

 the Center Market stands, will be in 

 charge of this new enterprise. 



Gude Bros. Co. has been awarded the 

 contract for decorating the stand in 

 front of the capitol where President- 

 elect Wilson will take the oath of office; 

 500 yards of laurel roping, 300 wreaths 

 and a quantity of American Beauty 

 roses to be placed in vases on the table 

 before which Mr. Wilson will stand, 

 will be utilized. J. H. Small & Sons 

 have been given the contract for the 

 decorating of the White House stand, 

 where President Wilson will review the 

 parade. 



Mrs. Martha Saunders, one of the old- 

 est residents of Washington and widow 

 of the late William Saunders, has passed 

 away at the age of 90 years. Born in 

 Dorsetshire, England, she came to this 

 country in 1848. Her husband was for 

 more than twenty-five years superin- 

 tendent of gardens and grounds in the 

 Department of Agriculture and it was 

 he who laid out Fairmount park in Phil- 

 adelphia and the Gettysburg battle- 

 field. 



Due to the fact that March 4 is in- 

 auguration day, the regular monthly 

 meeting of the Florists' Club will be 

 postponed until the following Tuesday, 

 when the annual election of officers will 

 take place. This promises to be an ex- 

 citing event, due to the number of can- 

 didates for each position.

ENCHANTRESS SUPREME 



JHE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessing all the vigor and freedom that dis- 

 tinguish its parent. Color a light salmon pink — a color that is not only very attractive, 

 but also one that endures full exposure to the sun without bleaching. A (rood all-round 

 Carnation that retains its color at all seasons. Calyx is longer and narrower than that of the 

 parent variety, and distinct from the latter. Has shown no inclination to be a burster. The 

 weak points of Enchantress seem to have been lost in this Sport, and a trial of four yeaj-s' 

 duration convinces us of Its great value.
