PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



Business took a suflden drop the past 

 •week, both in cut stuff and foliage 

 plants; this is more or less looked for 

 by the store men during Lent. Cut 

 stuff in general has been quite plenti- 

 ful, with prices exceptionally low. Car- 

 nations sold at $1 per 100 with the ex- 

 ception of some of the fancier varieties 

 which sold for $2. Brides and Maids 

 sold at $3 and $4, and it was necessary 

 for them to be very fine to bring the 

 latter figure. Beauties ranked among 

 the plentiful with supply exceeding Ihe 

 demand. Until the past week rhe store 

 man found it very difficult to get 

 enough Beauties to fill his orders, 

 hence the past week was an exception. 

 They sold for $2.50 per dozen with very 

 best bringing $4. Valley was also very 

 plentiful, selling at $2 and $3 per hun- 

 dred; tulips $3; Remans ?2 and ?3; 

 Von Sions $3, with the very best bring- 

 ing $4. 



The fakirs were very numerous the 

 past week after the blizzard. 



Notes. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Horticultural Society was held at Hor- 

 ticultural Hall, Tuesday, Feb. 21. An 

 illustrated lecture was given by Mr. 

 Gifilord Pinehot. chief of the Forestry 

 Bureau. Washington, D. C, the sub- 

 ject was the Western Forest Reserva- 

 tion. The business meeting was held 

 in the I^ibrary room immediately after 

 the lecture. 



A remarkably handsome window 

 decoration was seen at Pennock 

 Bros*, during convention week. It 

 consisted of a huge limb of a. tree 

 studded with orchid blooms, the flow- 

 ers being inserted in small phials of 

 water that were wired to the limb. 

 There was but little else in the large 

 double window and the effect was 

 most excellent. 



Conrad Kirchner, the well known 

 carnation grower, died recently. 



In our last issue it should have read 

 that Mr. Hugh Graham decorated the 

 Academy for the Hebrew Charity Ball, 

 instead of as stated. 



Five-year-old Elizabeth Redfield, 

 the only daughter of E. W. Redfield, of 

 Glenside, Pa., was crushed to death 

 on Monday, Feb. 20th, by a barn door 

 falling upon her. She was sent out 

 to call her father for breakfast and 

 was brought back a corpse by him. It 

 was a very sad affair. R. 



PROVIDENCE, R. T.— At the Febru- 

 ary meeting of the R. I. Hort. Society 

 the speaker of the evening was Prof. 

 W. W. Barley, of Brown University, 

 His subject was Certain Movements of 

 Plants, illustrated by blackboard 

 sketches.
