PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



The ever increasing business of the 

 H. F. Michell Co. has caused another 

 division of Mr. Mieliell's personal 

 work. This time it is the calling 

 hack of his old manager Paul Richter 

 from Virginia to occupy a new posi- 

 tion created for him under the title 

 of general superintendent. Mr. Rich- 

 ter has been greatly benefited in 

 health by his sojourn in the South, 

 and is back again in his old-time form. 

 Mr. J. E. Smith retains the position 

 of manager which he has occupied 

 sine? May. 



Jno. Welsh Young is in the hospital 

 with an attack of appendicitis. At 

 this writing (Tuesday) his many 

 friends are glad to hear that he is 

 progressing favorably. 



Bouvardia Humboldtii is a novelty 

 at Edward Reid's this week, its very- 

 large, fragrant, white flowers creating 

 instant attention and finding ready 

 sale. 



B. J. Fancourt of the Pennock- 

 Meehan Co. has just returned from a 

 short trip among the Southern grow- 

 ers. 



Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Burton, accom- 

 panied by Jno. N. May of Summit, N. 

 J., leave for Chicago on Monday. Mr. 

 Burton has been appointed a judge at 

 the Chicago show. 



A. B. Cartledge of Pennock Bros., 

 speaks well of two new chrysanthe- 

 mums recently passed uixjn by the 

 C. S. A. committee, namely: Mrs. G. 

 A. Lotze, a creamy white incurved, 

 sent by Gustav A. Lotze, Glenburnie, 

 Md.. and an early yellow from Ed- 

 ward A. Stroud. The former is a cross 

 between Alice Byron and Nellie 

 Pockett. Mr. Stroud's Mrs. Westray 

 Ladd, according to Mr. Cartledge, is a 

 splendid early yellow and especially 

 remarkable for stem and foliage. 



Tritomas and autumn loiiage make 

 a splendid combination at this season 

 of the year, and are being used with 

 fine effect by a number of our leading 

 florists. Most of the flowers come 

 from Riverton. One of the head cen- 

 ters for autumn foliage is at McKis- 

 sick's on Filbert street. 



INCORPORATED. 



Grover Nursery Co.; incorporators, 

 F. E. Grover, J. H. Welsh, F. A. Par- 

 menter of Rochester, N. Y. ; capital, 

 $2,000.

 Meier, A. E. Wilson, incorporators;

Euphorbia fulgens (Syn. Jacquiniae- 

 flora), with its beautiful orange-red 

 sprays, was considerably in evidence 

 during the holidays last season. Hav- 

 ing generous stems it lends itself read- 

 ily to many cut flower uses. It is a 

 second cousin of the poinsettia, requir- 

 ing similar culture, and of course will 

 not stand cold. Supplies of this should 

 be arranged for at once, as there are 

 not many who now cultivate this old- 

 fashioned plant. 



A MODEL FLOWER STORE AT ST. 

 PAUL. 



Hohn & Olson are giving up their 

 stand on St. Peters street, St. Paul, 

 and this week will move into their 

 new store, 20-22-24 W. 5th street. This 

 store has larger floor space than any 

 other in the country and their fixtures 

 are as elaborate as the best New York 

 stores. The entrance floor is tiled and 

 their names inlaid in mosaic design 

 thereon. The windows reach from 

 floor to ceiling, and back from these 

 for ten feet is a spread of mosaic til- 

 ing. The walls are of a light green 

 with large mirrors and nine arc lights 

 and 1.50 incandescent lamps will be 

 used for the lighting. 



The ice box is of mahogany veneer, 

 with floor of antique marble slabs, and 

 the whole outside base of the same 

 material. Corners are of circle glass. 

 The cost was over $3000. Mahogany 

 cases with large glass fronts will be 

 set against the opposite wall. In the 

 rear, beneath a large skylight and over 

 a cement floor, bench shelves have 

 been built, and circle in and around 

 the pillars; on these are large palms, 

 some 15 ft. in height, and lower down 

 are ferns of all sizes. 



AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. opened their 

 new wholesale place at 15 Province 

 street, Boston, with an entertainment 

 to their friends in the trade on Mon- 

 day evening, October 29. There were 

 refreshments, instrumental and vocal 

 music from 7 to 10 o'clock in the even- 

 ing and some 150 members of the lo- 

 cal trade took opportunity to call and 

 extend congratulations.
