ThIs season,s oranae crop.

After the most careful estimate II
is possible to make this early in the
season, based on reports from the
growers themselves and personal OBJ
servation, we are compelled to CON
clude that the present crop OF oranges
will not exceed last seasons crop by
over per cent, and IL may be as
much as per cent smaller OF
course, the rains and prevalence Of
storms are factors which may change
the total crop.
The grapefruit crop may be one
third larger than last season. II be-
ing impossible to accurately estimate
grapefruit as early In the season as
oranges, the grapefruit never having
been kept separate by the transporta-
tlon lines.
The quality OF both oranges and
grapefruit promises to be as fine as
Florida ever produced.
Last years crop made total OF
3,106,O9S boxes OF both oranges and
grapefruit, OF Which 1t is safe to esti.
mate that one-ffth was grapefruit,
but was the poorest fruit ever grown
in the state; besides, in many cases
the summer fruit was packed In with
the regular crop while 1t was too
green to eat
Notwithstanding the panic and
every other influence that may exist,
II the fruit Is well distributed, honest.
~ and Intelllgently marketed, there
Is no reason whatever that good
oranges should not bring 50 or more
a box T. 0. b., and grapefruit SO per
box I. o. b.
The crop is several weeks earlier
this year than last and there Is but
very little summer fruit in the State
two factors that worked greatly to the
disadvantage of last years crop.

He does not expect to begin work on

Mr.. shaffer is quite proud Of some Of

surpassed in washington, either by
other florists OF by the Government dis
plays.
Il have been over to the Govern

think il contains anything as fine as
some Of the varieties have here.
Several Of the men connected with
that exhibition have been up to see my
chrysanthemums. These men admit
that they had nothing so fine. and that,
in fact. I could beat them on many

be the most interesting plant exhibit at
the show.
On the cut flower table viii be many
different varieties of roses and other
flowers, including several special varie-
ties Of carnations, asters, and roses, Of
which the firm makes a speciality.
The floral fountain, however Is the
exhibit on which the company IS con-
1ning its chief efforts, and no ex-
pense VIII be spared to make il the
most elaborate floral piece ever shown
in Washington The deep, rich red OF
the American Beauties viii contrast in
a striking manner with the white mar
bic effect of the pedestaIs. and the
green Of the ferns at the base, and be-
tween the three tiers.
Cost No Object.
The roses will be held in place in
such a manner that they win droop
downward, which adds to the generaI
impression that a flow Of water is used
In obtaining the fountain effect.
The roses viii be arranged In such a
manner that each tier will Increase
gradually in size from the top down,
and at the base the flowers viii spread
ferns viii be banked around the cen
ter similar to the coping usually placed
around a fountain The ferns viii be
surrounded by moss, and around the
outside Of the fountain more minia-
ture electric lights viii be used 10 ad-

Mr.. GUIDE says that he desires 10 make
the exhibit the most unusual and at
tractive ever seen in Washington, and
with this object IN view his designer
was given instructions 20 90 ahead
without regarding the cost.
Mr.. Oehmler says that the idea OF an
American Beauty fountain originated
with him when he was asked 20 sub
MT plans for the decoration Of Kauus'
store at the time the interior was prac-
ticaIly rebuilt
A New Idea.
Il had never seen any such floral
piece OF even heard Of one" said Mr..
Oehmler, but the idea struck me that
It would be possible to niche a fountain
out Of roses. and by Che use Of electric
lights TO convey the impression that
water WAS flowing over the flowers
of course. IL was nothing but an ex-
pertinent at first, but IT proved success
ful, and the scheme worked out even
better than I had expected. The fOun-
tain made such a hit that It was on
exhibition two weeks longer than We
had planned"

A point Of attraction at the annual
exhibition Of the Washington Florists
Club viii be the American Beauty foun-
tain Of GUIDE Bros. which viii occupy
a large space in the center of the hall.
The fountain is the work Of O. a G.
OehmIer, decorator for GUIDE Bros. and
will be an elaboration Of the one shown
at the opening Of s. Kann. Sons &
Co.'S new store about "A year ago. II
is said that il will be the largest and
most expensive floral piece ever shown
in Washington.
Between 45O and 500 American Beauty
roses viii be used IN the construction
Of the fountain, which viii be eighteen
feet high, and have a base fifteen feet
In diameter. The roses win be changed
three times during the exhibit. and
viii necessitate the use Of about 800
roses in all.
Floral Fountain.
The base Of the fountain will consist
Of 200 maidenhair ferns, which viii be
banked around the large pedestal in the
center in an unusually attractive man
ner. The fountain proper will consist Of
three tiers Of roses. between which will
be banked fifty Boston ferns
Hundreds Of vari-c0lOred miniature
electric lights will be tsstefuliy inter
woven among the roses. and viii give
the appearance OF water running down
the floral fountain. The first impress
sion is that water Is actually lowing
over the flowers. and the different col
ored lights viii convey the idea that
sunshine has transformed the mag
mary spray into a miniature rainbow.
Mr.. Oehmler has been working on
the piece Tor several days, and the main
pedestaIs will resemble italian marble.
Brass posts will support velvet rope
around the fountain. which will keep
the crowd back from the exhibit. All
Of the roses to be used have been grown
at the firms greenhouses on the out
skirts Of the city. and in preparation
for the event. several hundred extra
bushes have been under cultivation for
nearly a year
Cut Flower Table
Besides the floral fountain, Guide Bros.
Will have two other exhibits at the
show. one viii be a group Of special
palms. and the other a large table of
cut flowers, in the palm exhibit viii
be collected some Of the finest speci-
mems of these plants ever shown IN

varieties. and the exhibit viii occupy

FUNERALS AT NIGHT

Alton, ILL.,, Pastor FavOrs the
Plan and Gets In
dorSen1ent.

Funerals at night are the latest idea
in Alton, III. Thirty members Of the
Ministerial Alliance, III session here,
unanimously indOrsed the idea as ad-
vanced by the Rev. +. S. EitelgeOrge'
pastor Of the Henry street German
Methodist Church.
1T would be much better 10 Gavc
funerals at night" he said. and there
should be no Sunday funerals. either
dav or night. Funerals nowadays are
too eXtTaVBgant Too much money is
spent on flowers and carriages, ana
there Is entirely too much display.
From an extremely solemn function
the funeral has developed into an Uuca-
sion for vulgar show.
Mr. Eitelgeorse also said there should

George c. shaner, who was one OF
the exhibitor. at the show last year and

believes the show this year should be
made conspicuous among the shows of
the country.
Mr. Shaffer, whose display last year
attracted much attention from the
throngs that visited the hall. will at
tempt t'.is year TO surpass-if tEst is
possible-the displays which he gave be
fore. He intends to follow the custom
he observed last year, OF changing every
flower in his exhibit each twenty-four
hours.
81 will have different ceuterplece on
my table each day." he said in talking
Of the coming show. Although that
means some additional labor and quite a
little trouble, believe 1t is worth
while.
Daily Change Appreciated.
II noticed last year that there were
many persons who came to the exhibit
ton frequently. who seemed to be inter
ested in the displays every day. l want
such pople % see something different
every time.
Il do not know what sort Of display
! shall make as yet. II is a little too
early for that I expect TO have table
with a centerpiece design which will
IN itself mean some work
Just what shall use for a center
piece I do not know. one day I may
use roses. another chrysanthemums. an
other something else. The mantle
(Which. IL might be explained. Is a real
sure-enough wooden affair, such as is
found IN all well-regulated houses), will
be treated the same way. I intend TO
change everything each day.
Baskets Filled With Blooms.
Il will also have some baskets on ex-
hibitiOn. and probably several vases
filed with roses or Chrysanthemums I
expect to put as high as fifty American
Beauty roses in one vase, and that viii
make a beautiful showing. I probably
viii use some violets. lilies of the valley
and possibly other flowers"
SIR. Shaffer is greatly interested In the
show, lie was one of three who ex-|
hibited q table and mantle last year,
and his display was notably attractive.
He believes this is an ideal way ina
which to set of the different flowers,
