HENRY A. DREER, 714 Chestnut St., Philadelphia 



Thp Review when vou write. 



were quite noticeable for a few days 

 after Thanksgiving, Ijut business lo- 

 cally, as well as shipping, is again 

 quite brisk. While roses and carna- 

 tions are in good demand, stevia and 

 violets are holding their own. Romans 

 and paper whites have made their ap- 

 pearance. The early snows up north 

 caused bouquet green to shorten up 

 considerably and some of the pickers 

 who held their stock for a "snowy" 

 day received good prices. 



Notes. 



It was expected that the city green- 

 houses would be completed this fall, 

 but owing to the delay in getting some 

 of the building material they will not 

 be ready for occupancy until nearly 

 spring. 



The palm swindler after departing 

 here plied his trade successfully on a 

 Madison florist and at about the same 

 time one was repoiited at Indianapolis. 

 Are there two of these unmolested 

 profitable adventurers? 



Ellis & Pollworth received a carload 

 of green and Delaware holly during 

 the week. 



Volk & Stewart have booked a large 

 decoration for this week. 



E. Haentze and wife, of Fond du 

 Lac, are visiting relatives here. 



Martin Reukauf was a recent caller. 

 JOHN. 



JADOO. 



Joseph McGregor, Darby, Pa., re- 

 ports excellent success with cinera- 

 rias, chrysanthemums, fancy caladi- 

 ums and primulas in one-third Jadoo 

 to two-thirds ordinary potting soil. 

 Last spring his cinerarias, were very 

 fine indeed, and he attributes this to 

 the use of Jadoo.
