A FLORIST'S OBSERVATIONS. 

 I wish I knew who had a good stock 

 of ardisias. Here is a plant which 

 should prove a money maker for flor- 

 ists and one which they can sell with 

 all confidence, for there are few better 

 houseplants. If you have a supply, 

 large or small, by all means nurse tin- 

 plants along. For the best develop- 

 ment, they should always be kept mar 

 the idass. In the summer, it is well to 

 shade the house on sunny days with 

 cheese cloth or slat shutters. When 

 the berries are well developed — about 

 the first of October— they should be 

 given plenty of sunshine, and they will 

 also do with less heat, say 50 to 55 

 degrees. To help the berries and 

 leaves to a color, soot water may be 

 applied occasionally. Never allow the 

 plants to become pot-bound, for un- 

 sightly "leggy" plants are liable to 

 result. 



I think there is no city in the coun- 

 try where autumn leaves are used so 

 freely and so effectively as in the flor- 

 ists shops of Philadelphia. Combined 

 with chrysanthemums they make as 

 fine a window decoration as can be 

 produced. In the spring, Philadelphia 

 also runs to dogwood, and the gen- 

 erous way in which it is used always 

 arouses admiration.
