WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Washington florists are well pleased 

 with the volume of business done for 

 Memorial day, which for some of them 

 was a record-breaker. Stock was quite 

 plentiful and there was a heavy run 

 on all varieties. 



The price of America Beauty roses 



has dropped somewhat, as these can be 

 obtained at $2 per dozen and even less. 

 Other roses are worth between .$4 and 

 $S per hundred. The demand for 

 peonies at from $4 to $8 per hundred 

 exceeds the supply. Lily of the valley 

 was scarce after the holiday and is in 

 good demand. Sjtencer sweet peas are 

 in excellent shape and are moving well 

 at $1 per hundred. Some exceptionally 

 good gladioli are to be had at from $6
