Trade Conditions. 



We have had for the week ending to- 

 day (Jan. 20) all sorts and conditions 

 of "weather from Maylike mornings to 

 aenii-blizzard nights, with a resultant 

 shortness of cut flowers which affects se- 

 riously nearly everyone in. the trade. 

 Roses of the' better class, and notably 

 white ones, are extremely scarce, and the 

 same holds true of white carnations. Vio- 

 lets continue in very short supply, and 

 about the only things fully up to the 

 demand are pink carnations and freesia.s. 



The week was an active one all around. 

 Balls, receptions, dinners and the. ever- 

 present funeral calls, kept the stores 

 generally on the move for material, this 

 in many cases not being at all satisfac- 

 toi-y to buyers. Even callas and greens 

 are short; with bright sunshine, in a 

 week or two — but that will be another 

 story ! 



Various Notes. 



Since vour Baltimore notes of a week 



or so ago went astray in Uncle Sam's 

 mail-bags it will not be amiss to go 

 back far enough to speak of the annual 

 meeting of the Florists' Exchange of this 

 city, which was held on the l'2th. The 

 year is the only full one completed in 

 the present quarters and showed a grati- 

 fying increase of business, entirely jus- 

 tifying the removal from its former con- 

 tracted and inconvenient site. The old 

 managers were re-elected and Isaac H. 

 Moss, of Govaustown, continues president 

 of the corporation, and Alexander Scott, 

 its painstaking and efficient manager. 

 The main question agitating the direc- 

 tion is how to secure, not only ample but 

 regular shipments of cut stuff. Tlie busi- 

 ness done is always restricted by the 

 utter inability to accept orders in the ab- 

 sence of any certainty as to what grow- 

 ers may send in. 



The stockholders ordered the board of 

 managers to give hearty and active sup- 

 port to the movements to secure the re- 

 scinding of the recent advance in the ex- 

 press companies' shipping charges. It 

 was suggested that, bad as is this new 

 tariff, it is not half as bad as the serv- 

 ice. A feature which bears with addition- 

 al hardship upon the smaller shippers is 

 that, whilst the nominal advance is 50 

 per cent, there is some juggling by 

 which single boxes, such as many moder- 

 ate establishments ship daily, really pay 

 about 100 per cent over former rates. 



The Gardeners' club took action on 

 the same line with the Exchange. 



The fuel question is still uppermost 

 in the minds of many growers, for, al- 

 though the supply is growing more abun- 

 dant there are all kinds of uncertainties 

 and disappointments in the delivery ot 

 cars, due to the congestion of the rail- 

 ways. Prices are declining, but this is 

 due in part to the milder weather of the 

 past few days and the dealers are lia- 

 Ijle to put on the thumbscrews at the 

 slightest provocation suggested by a de- 

 clining thennometer. Your correspond- 

 ent has two cars somewhere between the 

 mines and his boiler pit, hut this morn- 

 ing saw the last barrow of that absolutely 

 in hand go up in smoke through the 

 stack. 



Mr. B. F. Dorrance, of Dorrancetown, 

 Pa., was a recent visitor to our city, 

 and spent some hours at Mr. John Cook's 

 establishment. 



The venerable John Dick, one of the 

 old-time Philadelphia florists, whose 

 death wa.s recently announced, was the 

 grandfather on the maternal .side, of 

 Robert, Jr., and John Dick Halliday, 

 composing the well-knowTi firm of Halli- 

 day Bros, of this city, and was personally 

 known to and esteemed by all our older 

 gardenei's. B. 



QUAKERTOWN, Pa. — The coal supply 

 here was in very bad condition up to 

 about two weeks ago. Soft coal could 

 be had in small- quantities at $8 per 

 2.000 pounds, and about half the time 

 the yards were entirely cleaned up. E. 

 I. Rawlings. who has the largest concern 

 in this locality, reports that he has been 

 burning nothing but green cordwood for 

 the last ten days and says it was all 

 they could do to keep from freezing out, 

 but received glad news this morning that 

 a car of coal had been shipped him. 



Wilmington, Del. — Tlie city has sold 

 .$.30,000 worth of bonds, the amount to 

 \)e expended in acquiring new parks.
