Flower Market Reports. 



{Continued from page 41^) 



Last Saturday there 

 NEW YORK was a considerable 

 revival of business 

 and Monday opened with some en- 

 couragement that it might continue, 

 but the over-abundance of stock and 

 the passing of a temporary demand 

 leaves the market in but little better 

 shape than it was before. The cut of 

 carnations is heavy and Bridesmaid, 

 Bride and Killarney are too plentiful 

 to command steady prices in the rose 

 line. Beauties are still off crop and 

 Belling at 60c. for best grade with oc- 

 casional sales at 75c. where the qual- 

 ity is -exceptionally fine, but there is 

 much poor stock for which there is 

 no settled price. Special grade Rich- 

 mond benefits as a result of the limi- 

 ted supply of Beauties. Bulbous stock 

 is still a big feature as to quantity, 

 particularly Golden Spur narcissus, 

 though tulips are in lighter supply 

 this week. Prices are weak on lily 

 of the valley, for which the demand Is 

 not nearly equal to the supply. Lilies 

 are moving somewhat better, but the 

 market is not strong enough to war- 

 rant much increase in price. Quota- 

 tions on violets do not change. There 

 Is little difference in the market for 

 orchids and gardenias. Sweet peas 

 are very plentiful, both long and short 

 stems. It is difficult to realize on the 

 latter. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



"Mayflowers" (Trailing Arbutus) 

 have made their appearance. Pennock 

 Bros, had a fine showing on the 7th 

 Inst. Old-fashioned bouquets were the 

 feature of the great Pennock windovr 

 this week. 



A handsome specimen of Eupatorium 

 triste is exhibited in the Habermehl 

 window at the Bellevue-Stratford, this 

 week. This is good as a pot plant, but 

 the stems are too sticky to make it 

 pleasant for designs. 



Mr. J. Wolff Moore, Columbia ave- 

 nue, has entrusted the Lord & Burn- 

 ham Co. with the erection of the im-

provements in their store. The pas- 

 sage display will be 8 x 65 feet, the 

 conservatory, 24 x 50 feet. D. T. Con- 

 nor is in charge of the operation. 



James Vick of Rochester, lately with 

 P. Henderson & Co., and J. M. Thor- 

 burn & Co., of New York, is now with 

 the Holmes Seed Co., Harrisburg, Pa. 

 C. H. Carr, lately with Messrs. Gray, 

 Farquhar, and Breck, of Boston, has 

 also taken a responsible position with 

 Messrs. Holmes. 



A. B. Cartledge, Jr.. has joined the 

 Florists' Club, and will doubtless soon 

 make as good a name among winners 

 in indoor sports as in yachting circles. 

 Welcome to our midst, A. B., Jr. But 

 look out for your handicaps if you run 

 up against the lads -who can do from 

 two-fifty to three hundred. 



M. Rice & Co. have had to start 

 night work, much against their will, in 

 order to get out their Easter orders. 

 The troubles in the labor world have 

 stopped operations in the building line 

 here, and the bad scaffolding and light 

 obscurin.g conditions are liable to con- 

 tinue longer than was expected. 



Andrew Morrison, late of California 

 and Rydal. Pa., is back in town and 

 open for engagement on gentleman's 

 estate. Mr. Morrison is a younger 

 brother of George Morrison of Balti- 

 more, and is considered one of the best 

 private gardeners of the younger gen- 

 eration. See his adv. in this issue. 



The big banquet on the 15th inst., — 

 at Dooner's, — under the auspices of the 

 National Gardeners, is well under way. 

 W. Kleinheinz, the president of the 

 Gardeners' Association, says there will 

 be a large attendance. This is not a 

 closed proposition. Anyone willing to 

 pay for a ticket is welcome, so long 

 as he tells Mr. Kleinheinz or Secretary 

 .Mavnard on or before the 13th. 



The Holmes Seed Co., through H. L. 

 Holmes, vice-president and general 

 manager, tendered the employees a ban- 

 quet at the Commonwealth Hotel, Har- 

 risburg, on March 2nd, in commemora- 

 tion of the largest month's business 

 done (by many thousand dollars) In 

 the history of the company. H. M. 

 Miller, expert accountant, acted as 

 toastmaster, and bright speeches were 

 made by the heads of the different 

 departments. Mr. Holmes received 

 many congratulations on the happy oc- 

 casion and responded in his usual 

 felicitous vein.
