The Market. 



While there has been quite a demand 

 for funeral pieces and brides' and com- 

 mencement bouquets, business condi- 

 tions have hardly improved over the 

 other weeks of the month. There is a 

 fair demand for American Beauty roses, 

 but what is wanted is long-stemmed 

 stock, and of this class there is not any 

 too much coming in. The local Killar- 

 ney roses appear to be poor. These 

 are hanging fire while the eastern Kil- 

 larneys are moving well. Now that 

 the weather is warming up. My Mary- 

 land is appearing in fine form and is 

 more in demand even than Killarney, 

 good stock bringing up to $10 per hun- 

 dred. Commencement exercises have 

 strengthened the demand for sweet peas 

 considerably. Water lilies are not sell- 

 ing well. Good peonies are being picked 

 up at $6 per hundred in hundred lots, 

 the price on smaller quantities being 

 slightly higher. The demand for cat- 

 tleyas is considerably heavier, with the 

 result that the first of this week found 

 the market a bit shy. Indoor valley is 

 in good demand, but greens are hanging 



fire. 



Various Notes. 



Charles T. Yancey, of South Boston, 

 Va., was a visitor here last week. 



Frank Duggan, with Eickards Bros., 

 New York, visited this city to partici- 

 pate in the convention of the Knights 

 of Columbus. 



Mrs. Dauphin, wife of L. Dauphin, of 

 Dauphin Bros., Falls Church, Va., is re- 

 ported to be slightly improving in health. 



Elmer C. Mayberry has so far recov- 

 ered from the effects of his recent acci- 

 dent as to be able to again attend to 

 his business. 



J. A. Phillips is visiting relatives and 

 friends in Toledo, O., where he will 

 remain for about six weeks. 



Miss Margaret Boyle, who operates a 

 Center Market stand for her father, 

 John Boyle, is again able to attend the 

 market. 



A good time may be expected July 

 24, when the Florists' Club will hold 

 its annual outing at Chesapeake Beach. 

 A number of athletic events are being 

 planned, including a ball game between 

 the members of the club and a Masonic 

 organization which holds a similar event 

 on this date. Suitable prizes are to be 

 given the winners in each contest. 



There is a movement on foot in the 

 Center Market to place all of the flower 

 stands on one aisle. 



Mr. and Mrs. William F. Gude en- 

 tertained a large gathering of florists, 

 their families and friends, on the beau- 

 tiful lawn which surrounds their home 

 at 3800 New Hampshire avenue, Pet- 

 worth, D. C, on the evening of June 13. 

 The grounds were gaily decorated with 

 lanterns and American flags. Roe 

 Fulkerson made the speech presenting 

 to ex-President Mayberry a handsome 

 set of silver knives and forks in a ma- 

 hogany case. Eefreshments were served

and there was a variety of entertain- 

 ment. The gathering was one of the 

 most notable of the season; no larger 

 number of florists has ever congregated 

 here at one time, except possibly at a 

 show or convention. In all, nearly 250 

 persons were present. C. L. L. 



You careful buyers of 

 benches— look you. 

 Here is a ^ood one. 



It has three kinds of goodness— v. 



1— The goodness of the materials. 



2— Tile goodness of its simplicity or 

 ease of erection. 



3— Its goodness of lasting. 



The sides, bottoms and cross 

 pieces are cypress— not pecky, 

 or sappy cypress, mind you, 

 but the same kind William 

 Nicholson, of South Framing- 

 ham, Mass. , put in his benches 

 twelve years ago— and the 

 benches are still in splendid 

 condition. 



The sides are braced by a 

 piece of wrought iron bolted 

 to the bottom. The legs are 

 pipe set in holes bored in the 

 cross piece. A little concrete 

 footing holds them in place. 

 A good bench— an economical 

 bench.
