The last week of January was char- acterized by cold, sunshiny days, which lent vigor to both the buying and grow- ing ends of the business. Sunday morn- ing, January 24, started with a run on funeral work, which continued through- out the week, combined with a demand for flowers for the sick and an abund- ance of decorative work for parties, receptions and dinners.

Dos- well & Son, entertained, January 27, a club of young women known as the Birthday Anniversary Club, at dinner in the English tea room.

Among the many handsome floral of- ferings sent to the opening of the new Palace theater last week were baskets of Richmond roses, and tall basket vases of American Beauties and Lilium Harrisii, sent by the Auger Flower Shop, W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Doswell & Son and the Flick Floral Co. John D. Arentshorst, representing Baartman & Koning, bulb growers of Sassenheim, Holland, called on the trade last week and reported business in the United States as good. Other visitors during the week were: George Maunz, of Eeed & Keller, New York, and Sidney Bayersdorfer, of H. Bayers- dorfer & Co., Philadelphia. Mr. and
