WASHINQTON. 



The Market. 



1 % 



The thermometer last week reached 

 the 90-degree mark, with the result 

 that there was an overstocked market. 

 While small quantities of select Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses sold at $3 per 

 dozen, in quantities they could be had 

 at the buyer's figure, with the result 

 that Beauties with 4-foot stems 

 were peddled on the street at 10 cents 

 each. All other roses ran from $4 to 

 $6 per hundred, with the poorer grades 

 as low as $15 per thousand. Car- 

 nations have been in heavy supply, but 

 in fair demand, with $2 per hundred 

 the ruling price. Selected stock and 

 white carnations are quite scarce at 

 $3 and $4. Sweet peas are to be had 

 in large quantities. There is an over- 

 supply of snapdragon, along with the 

 other blossoms, which caused the price 

 to drop. Gardenias, too, were a drug 

 on the market. Outdoor valley has put 

 in an appearance. In fact, outdoor 

 stock of all varieties is being rushed 

 into the market in large quantities. 

 This is materially hurting the sale of 

 greenhouse stock and not only affects 

 the producers but the retailers as well. 



Various Notes. 



A local concern is putting forth a 

 novelty in the way of forced peonies. 

 This firm during the spring found oc- 

 casion to move 500 plants and, instead 

 of planting them outdoors at once, con- 

 ceived the idea of lifting them and 

 placing them in the greenhouse. The 

 experiment seems to have been success- 

 ful, except that the overstocked mar- 

 ket prevented the obtaining of suit- 

 able prices. 



Among the visitors in town were A. 

 F. Vick, with Robert Craig Co.; J. J. 

 Goudy, with H. A. Dreer, and C. B. 

 Knickman, with McHutchison & Co. 



Members of the Florists' Club and 

 their families are being invited by the 

 Washington Chamber of Commerce, in 

 common with other representative com- 

 mercial prganizations, to participate 

 in the annual outing of that body to 

 Atlantic City, May 29 to Jtine 1. 



Due to the fact that the annual ban- 

 quet of the club. May 6, will be given 

 ou the evening scheduled for the reg- 

 ular monthly meeting, the business of 

 the club will be discussed in the red 

 room of the Hotel Ebbitt, starting 

 promptly at 7:30 and terminating one 

 hour later. C. L. L.
