PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



The ,T. Stern Company are now com- 

 fortably located in their new quarters 

 at 125 North 10th street. Mr. Stern is 

 highly pleased with the interest the 

 trade has manifested in the new move. 

 The firm is manufacturing most of its 

 own basket work, wheat sheaves and 

 other staples, and is In touch with the 

 best foreign sources of supply. The 

 best wishes of all go to a deserving 

 and enterprising house in this new 

 evidence of courage and success. 



Robert Craig made a ten strike 

 when he secured Ficus pandurata, 

 which has proved a great introduction. 

 His son, William Craig, is a close sec- 

 ond this year in getting hold of half 

 the stock of the new fern Nephrolepis 

 Amerpohlii. "Green Mist" would be a 

 good name for this variety. It does 

 not look like a nephrolepis at all. I 

 offered ten dollars for a little bit in a 

 two inch pot; was laughed at. 



Overbrook Gardens of Edward A. 

 Stroud have made a good name on 

 extra early flowered cyclamens this 

 season. Mr. Prince, the foreman, has 

 promised us a short account of his 



rultural methods, which will be pub- 

 lished in these columns shortly. 



Visitors in Detroit: H. A. Bunyard, 

 representing Arthur T. Boddington, 

 New York, and Mr. Goetz of Saginaw, 

 Mich.
