WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Despite the fact that Mothers' day 

 was rainy, the demand for white carna- 

 tions far exceeded the supply of good 

 stock. The call for other flowers was 

 light. White sweet peas sold well dur- 

 ing the early part of the week, and 

 roses also moved to advantage, but on 

 Sunday none seemed to want them. An 

 advertisement a full page in length and 

 four columns wide was the way in 

 which six enterprising florists called at- 

 tention to Mothers' day, giving a brief 

 history of its origin and intent. This 

 advertisement did considerable to stim- 

 ulate interest and much credit is due 

 Z. D. Blackistone, Gude Bros. Co., Will- 

 iam Marche, George C. Shaffer, J. A. 

 Phillips and the S. S. Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., who were its originators. 



Stock in all lines was plentiful enough 

 to meet all demands, although the dark 

 weather has done much to retard the 

 cuts. There is plenty of funeral work 

 to be taken care of and the usual num- 

 ber of weddings, dinners and similar 

 events which occur every year during 

 this month. The orchids that are now 

 coming into the market are much bet- 

 ter than they have been. The northern
