For Florists' Ribbons, Chiffons and Novelties 



made it clear that the company knew 

 what they were doing when they erected 

 this range of glass for Mr. Donaghy to 

 manage. Ho4ise after house of plants 

 were in good condition, clean and 

 thrifty. Aside from the Easter plants, 

 the stock grown was mainly of the soft- 

 wooded type, running all the way from 

 Alternanthera brilliantissima to Mesem- 

 bryanthemum cordifolium aureum. The 

 plants that bore most eloquent testi- 

 mony to Mr. Donaghy 's skill were the 

 geraniums. He said there were 75,000 

 of them. They were in 4-inch pots, 

 stocky, close-jointed and even, a fine 

 sight. The varieties were Alphonse 

 Eicard, S. A. Nutt, Mrs. Williams and 

 two others which were unfamiliar. Mr. 

 Donaghy said that this stock was grown 

 for use on the place, which covers over 

 200 acres. 



Various Notes.

 be wise to buy coal early. 



Sydney H. Bayersdorfer sailed from 

 New York for Europe on the steamer 

 Mongolia April 10. His father, Henry 

 Bayersdorfer, went over to see him ofE. 



Edward Keid was indignant at the 

 idea of the switchmen's strike holding 

 up the business of the country, which 

 has suffered so much during the war. 

 Mr. Keid thought that our government 

 should not permit it for a moment. 



H. H. Battles' window contained an 

 exquisite bunch of Delphinium Bella- 

 donna after Easter, their grace of form 

 and delicacy of color tastefully dis- 

 played. 



Professor A. C. Beal delivered an il- 

 lustrated lecture on "Gladioli" before 

 the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 

 in the New Century Club room the after- 

 noon of April 13. 



Raymond Brunswick, secretary and 

 treasurer of the M. Eice Co., is enjoy-

 know the big load of responsibility that 

 Mr. Brunswick smilingly shoulders will 

 wish him a jolly good time.

 town Horticultural Society was held in

For a few days after Easter business 

 was extremely quiet, just as it has been 

 in previous years. The weather was un- 

 usually cold for April and supplies were 

 not particularly larjjo during the whole 

 of last week. Business April 10 was 

 good and nearly ail cut flowers cleaned 

 up. The present week brings somewhat 

 milder weather and this has increased 

 arrivals, but trade is (juite satisfactory 

 and prices are holding uj) well.
