CHRISTMAS RED BEECH SPRAYS

WE take pride in offering you what we believe will prove the greatest novelty of the holiday 

 season — Beech Sprays. We all know, we all used them. Beech Sprays that are not only 

 transparent but transmit light, changed to a glowing red, are a real novelty. These Beech Sprays are 

 produced by the Pastel method, which is different from and superior to any other method. These 

 Christmas Red Beech Sprays will prove invaluable in every holiday decoration. Try them. We 

 also have Twotone Beech Sprays, red and green, affording an opportunity for variety.

The Market. 



Chrysanthemums are fast going off 

 the market and this is causing a 

 stiffening of prices and an increase in 

 demand of other flowers. Roses are 

 plentiful and the prices are low, con- 

 sidering the quality. American Beauty 



roseis are in fair demand, with an equal 

 supply. There has been a scarcity of 

 carnations during the last week or so, 

 especially light and dark pink. The sup- 

 ply of single violets is meager, with the 

 result that the demand for Bhinebecks 

 is quite heavy. 



Duriug the last few weeks the ship- 

 ping trade to southern points has been 

 heavy, but has been subject to certain 

 drawbacks in that to some points it is 

 possible to ship by but one train in each 

 twenty-four hours, making deliveries 

 unsatisfactory and sometimes impos- 

 sible. 



The consensus of opinion is that the 

 Thanksgiving trade did not equal that 

 of last year. The social season has now 

 set in in earnest. The season, however, 

 will be short this year, due to the fact 

 that Xhe Lenten season starts early in 

 February. An early Easter will, on 

 the other hand, allow a long stretch 

 until it is time to close the houses for 

 the summer months. 



Various Notes. 



The funeral of- Senator Raynor was 



notable for the number of fine pieces. 

 John H. Small & Sons alone furnished 

 eighteen large pieces, and the other 

 firms all had a share in the business. 



The death of Alvin Mason Lothrop, 

 a member of the department store firm 

 of Woodward & Lothrop, is a matter of 

 deep regret among the trade, to whom 

 he was well known both in a business 

 and a social way. The floral display at 

 the funeral was exceptionally elabo- 

 rate. A noticeable feature was the num- 

 ber of vases of long-stemmed American 

 Beauties and other flowers sent to the 

 house shortly after the announcement 

 of death. 



At the fourth annual Pan-Amdrtcan 

 mass at St. Patrick 's church there was 

 an elaborate decoration. Following the 

 services a banquet was held in the ad- 

 joining rectory, William F. Gude beiiig 

 one of forty-two guests. Gude Bros. 

 Co. had the contract for the work. 



The display windows of Z. D. Blacki- 

 stone, at Fourteenth and H streets, 

 N. W., were made exceptionally attract- 

 ive during Thanksgiving week by a 

 fruit picture, done by Walter van der
