is a basket which 

 commands a vari- 

 ety of uses. Its 

 long, narrow shape makes 

 it an excellent basket for 

 use on a banquet table. It 

 is also suitable for a com- 

 mencement or memorial 

 piece, having a handle that 

 permits of effective decora- 

 tion. This is only one of 

 many designs we make es- 

 pecially for the Florist. Send for our illustrated catalogue today and see our com- 

 pliBte line. Our workmanship is the best and our prices the most reasonable.

 many expressions of condolence on the 

 loss of hej^, father, Enos F. Pumphrey, 

 who pass/d away last month at his 

 home, Meadows, Prince George's

 years.

 two sons, is making the pilgrimage to 

 Springfield, Mass., with Kallipolis Grot- 

 to, a Masonic organization. While away

According to reports of those in 



charge, the Brookland rose show this 

 season was most successful and will be 

 repeated next year. C. L. L.

The Market. 



Memorial day business was splendid 

 and everyone says it was the best on 

 record. The unusually cool weather ex- 

 perienced right through May prevented 

 some growers from getting such crops 

 as ten weeks' stocks, feverfew, etc., in 

 on time. Carnations, also, were fewer 

 in numbers than expected. With the 

 exception of a little white spiraea and 

 mignonette, everything was cleaned up 

 at noon May 30. Eoses sold quite well. 

 Short and medium stock at $3 to $6 per 

 hundred was mostly in demand. Whites 

 sold almost as well as the colored sorts. 



Carnations were in great demand. Grow- 

 ers had little trouble in getting $8 per 

 hundred for all really good flowers, a 

 few going even higher. Other grades 

 went at $4 to $6. Beacon, Pink Delight, 

 Mrs. Ward, Gloriosa, Benora and crim- 

 sons were leaders. Carnations never 

 sold so well for Memorial day. 



Sweet peas were much sought after 

 and sold out clean at prices varying 

 from 56 cents to $2 per hundred. Out- 

 door valley competed with the indoor 

 article, but did not have a heavy sale. 

 Lilies made $8 per hundred, and can- 

 didums half this price. Large gladioli, 

 such as Augusta, America and Mrs. F. 

 King, went at $2 per dozen, and Peach 

 Blossom at $6 per hundred. Such flow- 

 ers as stocks, feverfew, candytuft, etc., 

 sold mostly at 50 cents per bunch. 

 Snapdragons sold well, $1 per dozen 

 beinpr a poj^ular price. Marguerites
