Various Notes. 



During the past week we noticed a 

 vase of the fine new carnation, Ethel 

 Crocker, exhibited in the window of 

 Jos. Kift & Son. The flowers are of 

 a handsome cherry red borne on long, 

 stiff stems and measuring three inches 

 across. It attracted considerable at- 

 tention. 



Messrs. Pennock Bros., 1514 Chest- 

 nut street, had a chrysanthemum show 

 of their own on Nov. 6th to the 11th. 

 This was their first venture in a thing 

 of this kind, and it proved quite a 

 success. They exhibited about 1,000 cut 

 mums and 400 pot plants in 16 sorts 

 which made a very handsome display. 

 One of the New York growers who 

 saw the display expressed much sur- 

 prise, saying it surpassed anything he 

 ever saw in the way of a store exhibit. 



Their store window was arranged 

 with a large persimmon tree which 

 gave a beautiful rustic effect. It re- 

 minded one of tropical climes, the 

 limbs being thickly covered with Irish 

 moss and small bottles of orchid 

 blooms. Along the front of the win- 

 dow, neatly arranged, were some fine 

 specimen plants of begonia Gloire de 

 Lorraine. 



The greenhouse was decorated with 

 palms, specimen mums and cyclamen, 

 with adiantum Farleyense raised above 

 the shorter palms, which made a very 

 striking effect. 



Messrs. A. B. Cartledge and L. Pen- 

 nock, who are the head of the firm, 

 deserve great credit for this exhibition, 

 it being the first of its kind in this 

 city.
