PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



C. H. Grakelow of the Depot Floral 

 Exchange was thrown trom a trolley 

 car on the 10th inst. and severely in- 

 jured. 



An English nurseryman is offering 

 in this market erica sprays by the 

 pound. The variety is Erica Medi- 

 terannea hybrida and the price five 

 shillings per pound, post free. 



The Florists Gun Club of Philadel- 

 phia will entertain the Allentown Gun 

 Club March 27. The shoot will be at 

 Wissinoming, followed in the evening 

 by a banquet in the city. Covers will 

 be laid for 50. 



Have you read Robert Craig's digest 

 of the carnation past and present? If 

 not you have missed a fine essay. See 

 HORTICULTURE, page 253, March 3. 

 For a judicial marshalling of the facts 

 and an unbiased summing up of the 

 situation, commend me to this gem of 

 Robert Craig's. It ought to please 

 even the fastidious soul of Willis N. 

 Rudd. 



Jno. Mclntyre, late with Battles and 

 Habermehl, is now with the Leo 

 Niessen Co., having entered on his new 

 duties on the 12th inst. 



Among our visitors this week were 

 Phil. Breitmeyer of Detroit, Mich.; 

 Mr. Keller of J. B. Keller & Sons, and 

 Mr. Salter of Salter Bros., Rochester, 

 N. Y. 



The report that Messrs. Davis and 

 Wilson had bought out the Poryzees' 

 place seems to have been premature. 

 Negotiations were under way and a de- 

 posit made, but it now appears there 

 was some fall down in arranging the 

 details. At last accounts Mr. Poryzees 

 was still in possession. 



Jno. Westcott, resplendent in a white 

 vest with pink dots, a green tie, and 

 seersucker pants, arrived from his 

 southern trip on the 11th inst. Mr. 

 Westcott says that everybody who can 

 afford it ought to go to Palm Beach, 

 Fla., every winter and see the bougain- 

 villeas, the crotons, the vincas (and 

 all the things we have such trouble 

 with) growing wild and blooming pro- 

 fusely.

A FLORIST'S WINDOW IN WINTER. 

 A window in a city street, 



With thousands daily passing by; 

 With buds and blooms of flowers re- 

 plete, 



Born 'neath a glorious summer sky. 

 Within are roses blushing red, 



That on the air their sweets exhale; 

 Pinks, borne from out their natal bed, 



And vines that near them lightly 

 trail. 



Chrysanthemums and asters bright, 



And modest violets profuse; 

 Tall, leaning lilies, pure and white, 



And pansies gay with varied hues. 

 And there are others just as fair, 



Whose beauties would our praises 

 win, 

 That toss sweet fragrance on the air, 



And seem to beckon us, "Come in!" 

 — Thomas F. Porter, in Boston Globe.
