PHILADELPHIA. 



Trade has been very good the past 

 week. The storekeepers report an old- 

 time Thanksgiving, it being the best in 

 many years; with Bridesmaids and 

 American Beauties very scarce, not 

 enough to go around. As for mums 

 they have seen better days and are 

 fast disappearing. 



Mr. L. Kleeblott, who has been with 

 the Floral Exchange for the past five 

 years, has embarked in the florist's 

 business for himself, opening a store 

 last week at 190S West Susquehanna 

 avenue. He has designated it the Sha- 

 ron Nurseries. Mr. K. intends to han- 

 dle a general line of cut flowers and 

 decorative plants. 



Mr. A. B. Cartledge and Mr. Geo. 

 Anderson are off on a ten days' gun- 

 ning trip in North Carolina. 



Julius AVolff, Jr,, reports a very busy 

 week, the principal event of the week 

 being a big decoration at the Mercan- 

 tile Club, which reqiiired eight loads of 

 palms and decorative plants to do the 

 work, to say nothing of the immense 

 lot of cut flowers used. Also large bou- 

 quets showered with miniature incan- 

 descent lights. Mr. Wolff and his fore- 

 man, Mr. Dunning, were quite proud 

 of the job. 



Robert Kift reports an increasing de- 

 mand for his unique adjustable hang- 

 ing flower vase and plant holder. It 

 is an ideal thing for short stemmed 

 flowers. It is without a doubt indis- 

 pensable tor show window and house 

 decoration, as it shows the plants or 

 vase of flowers to the best possible ad- 

 vantage. It is one of those things 

 that have to be seen to be appreciated. 



Cut flower prices are about as fol- 

 lows: Beauties. $2 to $7.50 a doz.; 

 Brides and Maids, ,'?5 to $7 per 100; 

 Perles, $.5 to $fi: Kaiserins, $5 to $10; 

 Meteors, $.5 to $S: Liberty, $1.5 to $25; 

 carnations, $1.50 to $2.0<t; fancy sorts, 

 $2.50 to $3; hyacinths, $.3 to $4; val- 

 ley, $3 to $5; single violets. 50 cents; 

 doubles, 75 cents to $1; asparagus, 50 

 cents; smilax, 15; adiantums, $1,00 per 

 100; cypripediums, $2 per doz. or $15 

 per $100. R.
