PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



David Rust, receiver of the William 

 Graham Co.. reports a fortunate deal 

 on their left-over Easter lilies. Some 

 two thousand pots with two to four 

 flowers each were sold at ten cents a 

 flower as souvenirs to the matinees of 

 "The Time, the Place, and the Girl," 

 running this week at the Walnut Street 

 Theatre. 



Edwin Lonsdale has accepted the 

 ofBce of correspondent for the "Flor- 

 ■ ists' Exchange" in thi.s locality. P. M. 

 Read will look after the business end. 

 Mr. Read, we understand, is an adver- 

 tisin.g a.ycnt with two or three other 

 papers on his list, the principal one 

 heing a publication entitled "Novelties" 

 (not horticultural novelties). 



Chas. V. Poryzees says concerning 

 the Easier trade: "Cut flowers fine; 

 plant ti'ade very disappointing." As 

 the days go by after Easter we hear 

 more of left-over plant stock, confirm- 

 ing our judgment in our Easter plant 

 review, which was written earlier and 

 under di^culties. The special diffi- 

 culty was refusal of those interested 

 to give up information. We regret as 

 much as anybody the unfortunate con- 

 ditions; but we are here to report 

 facts and not fairy tales. As a sample 

 of the readiness of the trade to com- 

 mit itself to definite statements, here 

 Is the Delphic utterance of Leo Nies- 

 sen: "Well! we were very busy. We 

 are still getting enough to eat, and we 

 can still pay our bills.' How do you 

 suppose a correspondent could write a 

 market review on the hole of a dough- 

 nut? The trouble with many is thai 

 tUey look on those serious things like 

 market reviews as a joke — the same as 

 Joe Cannon does with the Democrats 

 when they call for the yeas and nays."
