PHILADELPHIA. 



Trade has been very good the past 

 week, weddings, parties and balls be- 

 ing quite numerous, with a number 

 booked for the coming month. 



Pot chrysanthemums are a drug on 

 the market again this year. They are 

 selling slowly and at very low prices, 

 plants in 7-inch pots with 6 to 8 large 

 blooms bringing only 35 to 50 cents 

 each at retail. 



We noticed there was another rub- 

 ber plant sale on at one of the depart- 

 ment stores the past week. It's a great 

 pity that this sort of thing should 

 go on. 



Prices. 



Beauties, $1.50 to $5 per dozen; 

 Brides, Maids, Kaiserins and Meteors, 

 $3 to ?6; La France, $3 to $5; Perles, ?2 

 to $5; Liberty, $10 to $20. Carnations, 

 $1 to $1.50; fancy, $2; hyacinths, $3 to 

 $4; valley, $3 to $4; best, $5; violets, 

 single, 40 to 50 cents; double, 75 cents 

 to $1.25; mignonette, $3 to $4; chrys- 

 anthemums, fancy, $2; ordinary, 75 

 cents to $1.50 per dozen; asparagus, 35 

 to 50 cents; adiantum, 75 cents to $1; 

 smilax, 15 cents. 



We noticed a flower of Aristolochia 

 Gigas Sturtevanti in the store window 

 of the H. A. Dreer Company which was 

 cut from a plant grown in one of their 

 Riverton greenhouses. It attracted con- 

 siderable attention. The flower resem- 

 bles a boat of silken cretonne; it meas- 

 ures 12 inches long by 12 wide and has 

 a tail-like appendage three feet long. 

 It's a very free bloomer and a rapid 

 greenhouse grower. The plant from 

 which this was cut was planted from a 

 2-inch pot last May. R. 



MARQUETTE, MICH. 



L. H. Stafford, the well known flo- 

 rist, died Nov. 8 after a long illness, 

 aged 49 years. 



Mr. Stafford was formerly an alder- 

 man in the city representing the Sev- 

 enth ward. He was a member of the 

 Masonic lodge in Detroit, and a mem- 

 ber of Grafton lodge, A, O. U. W., and 

 Superior tent, K. O. T. M., in Mar- 

 quette. The funeral was held from 

 the residence at 2 o'clock Nov. 12, fol- 

 lowed by interment in Park cemetery. 

 The funeral was under the charge of 

 the Masons, of which society the de- 

 ceased was a member. 



The business will be continued by 

 his widow, Mrs. L. H. Stafford.
