PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have bought 

 out the stock, fixtures and good will 

 of the florists' supply establishment 

 of Mr. Hantsch at 7th and Lehigh 

 avenue. Mr. Bayersdorfer, Jr., is at 

 present running the concern. 



Geo. D. Clark of the Henry A. 

 Dreer Corporation says that perennial 

 seeds should be sown within the next 

 30 days. If this is attended to at 

 once most of them will flower the 

 first year and give a handsome profit 

 on the investment. 



E. H. Bauer of Chiselhurst, N. J., 

 has just placed a contract with the 

 Burnham, Hitchings, Pierson Co., 

 through D. T. Connor, for an addition 

 to his carnation establishment, lOOx 

 28, with all the latest improvements. 



The Riverton Nurseries (Dreer's) 

 have recently purchased 76 acres 

 nearby (at* Cinnaminson), where they 

 are to grow perennials and other 

 stock. No glass will be erected at 

 present. The soil is a deep heavy 

 loam and much superior to the sandy 

 character which generally prevails in 

 this part of Jersey. At Riverton two 

 new houses have been erected for 

 dahlias. A dahlia bought here labeled 

 Frank D. Smith will be Frank D. 

 Smith and not something else. That's 

 the Dreer way. 



W. S. Maull. late treasurer of the 

 defunct Peacock Company, is back in 

 his old position in the accounting de- 

 partment of Lit Bros. 



J. D. Eisele will arrive home from 

 Europe on the S. S. Amerika of the 

 Hamburg-American Line on Feb. 19.

MONTREAL NOTES. 



Cooper and Johnson are giving a 

 gold medal for competition at the 

 fall Horticultural Show. See their 

 seed catalogue for particulars. 



Michael Judge has been elected 

 Mayor of St. Paul. If His Worship 

 manages the affairs of that- prosperous 

 town as well as he does his carnations 

 and ferns, we prophesy a very pleasant 

 and prosperous year. 



J. McKenna was elected Coun- 

 cillor of Cote des Niges after a 

 hard fight. Joseph Ward, the whole- 

 sale agricultural seedman. was elected 

 alderman by acclamation of the city 

 of Montreal". Montreal's florists seem 

 to combine politics and the trade 

 pietty lively, as we have one mayor, 

 one alderman and three councillors 

 among us. 



Cut flower trade still keeps very 

 brisk, the supply not being nearly- 

 equal to the demand. Carnations are 

 still keeping well to the fore. There 

 seems to have been a lot of diseased 

 Harrisii lilies last year, some of our 

 florists losing half of their si 

 Hall & Robinson have a very fine 

 sport of Pink Lawson carnation, color 

 a light pink and very free flowering.
