The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



NOVEMBER 10, I'JOO. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



Election week has come and gone, leav- 

 ing behind it a chill at the hearts of the 

 vanquished and of the growers who had 

 to do a bit of firing in the wee sma' 

 hours. The Greeks and Bears are still 

 in evidence, but are not the important 

 factors of one week ago, and the quality 

 of the stock they offer, especially the 

 Greeks, is not of the gilt-edged kind. 

 The cool weather, following the tremen- 

 dous production caused by the warm 

 wave, has naturally made good flowers 

 much scarcer. This fact, combined with 

 the increased demand caused by a num- 

 ber of weddings and the first revolution 

 of the social wheel, has sent prices up- 

 ward. The rates are little if any higher 

 than those quoted during the past month, 

 but these prices are realized for every- 

 thing nice, and the specials bring more. 



The Exhibitions. 



The show season is here now. The 

 Chestnut Hill Horticultural Society, an 

 infant in its first year, held a success- 

 ful three-day exhibition last week. This 

 week the Pennsylvania Horticultural 

 Society will hold its annual exhibition, 

 which is expected to be of great interest 

 to all flower lovers. 



A New Establishment. 



A great deal of interest has been 

 shown here in Adolph Fahrenwald's new 

 place at Hillside, Montgomery County, 

 because of the remarkable success of the 

 Beauties grown last season. The place, 

 which is in its third year, consists of 

 six houses, containing 25,000 square feet 

 of glass, and is devoted almost exclu- 

 sively to Beauties. Four of the houses, 

 built in the summer of 1S98, are each 

 150 by 22 feet; three-quarter span to the 

 south, with front glass and side benches. 

 The remaining two houses, built this 

 year, are of the same length but three 

 feet wider and two feet higher, with front 

 glass, but no benches, either side or 

 center, the walks being around the out- 

 side and the beds on the ground. These 

 two houses are planted entirely with 

 Beauty. The other four have Beauty on 

 the center benches. Brides and Maids on 

 the side. The early planted houses have 

 been producing freely, especially during 

 July and August. All the stock is in 

 good growing condition. 



The houses are heated by steam and 

 supplied with water at a high pressure 

 by a steam pump. The place impresses 

 the visitor favorably, being protected 

 from the cold north winds by a hill ; 

 the exposure to the south is excellent. 

 The houses are light and strong and the 

 general arrangement thoroughly prac- 

 tical in all their details. It was from 

 this place that two dozen Beauties with 

 8foot stems were sent out for a special 

 order last winter and here, too, the cut 

 of high grade flowers both at Christmas 

 and at Easter was far above the aver- 

 age ; in fact, the Christmas cut was prob- 

 ably a record breaker. Phil.
