The Market. 



There is little to ho saiil uhout ti.i j,. 

 conilitions in the national eajiital. is 

 the liottoni has about been roaid;. ,|. 

 The cxtrciuc heat and tlio hirj^o nninl er 

 of storms which are s\Vf('inn<4 this v..,,. 

 tion are about killing what little Im^i. 

 ness tiicrc is. Larji;o (]uantities of •_ a 

 dioli and asters arc now to bo soon m 

 tho storos and markets. Carnations mc 

 |>oor and iiardly worth handling. Sn ic 

 good eastern American Beauties an- in 

 bo seen, also My Maryland and Kn 

 serin. As a whole, although there i- ii 

 large (juantity of stock of all kinds mi 

 the market, little is of a good <jualii\-. 

 yet siillicient first-class stock is conin.' 

 ill to meet all denuinds. Funeral wmli 

 has been exce])tioiially heavy ami ic 

 munerative, features which are greai!\ 

 wcdcomed by the trade. 



Various Notes. 



William F. (iude, accoin|>aiiieil b\ Id 

 nest and Grenville (iude, were m 

 I'hilaiUdphia last week. 



The \Vashington Florists' l']\(diaii.'r 

 lias renio\ ed from its former local imi 

 on II street. \. W.. to the twidvc hnii 

 dred block of I street. 



Among the \isitors in town last wcik 

 were .lose])li (ioudv, of Henry A. Dreei'. 

 Inc., and 1. b'osnoskv, of llenr\- V. 

 .Michel! Co., both of IMiiladidphia." 



While jiracticing for a snake charin 

 iiig oNt'iit whiidi he is carded for \\\ 

 coniiectiou with the Florist Kallipolis 

 (irotto outing, to be Indd this week. 

 Fred II. Kramer was bitti n by a lai-i^ 

 jiython. TIh! exhibition was given m 

 the store <d' Hd. Si liinid before an ad 

 miring audience, ami all went wtdl un- 

 til the grandson of the latter brou.Lihi 

 liis |pod jioodlo into the arena. The dei; 

 made a dash for the snake and Mr. 

 Snake unraveled his (dglit feid ni 

 lenj^th to grab the poodle, missed, but 

 succeeded in sinking his fangs into .Mr 

 Kr.'uner's leg, leaving one of his teeili 

 embedded in y\x. Kramer's skin as ;i 

 souvenir. I'ndaunted, our llorist friend 

 states that he will give a jnofessioi 'd 

 jierformance at the outing. 



The Washington I'ost has aiinounc' I 

 that it is about to inaugurate a l.-ib"' 

 ila.\' parade for tho showing up of cm i 

 moicial automobiles, ami will olbi' 

 jirizes ranging from $10 to $1.10 for H c 

 best decorated cars. Many of the loi^d 

 lloiists operati' commercial cars, but ' 

 is doubtful whetlier any id' them w 11 

 enter. l''lor;il par.'ides do not serin 'i 

 take well here. C. | ,. 1.
