Height of basket, 15 inches. 

 $6.00 per dozen. Liner included. 



Valentine Heart Tumbler 



This has been pronounced the best Valentine Day novelty ever put 

 out. It has the heart and arrow all complete. Very easily and quickly 

 made up (its one great feature), just like filling a tumbler basket. 



The basket is gold, as is also the dart; the heart is red. 



We have only a limited amount, order early. 



Our Easter Basket assortments are the best we have ever offered. 

 $10.00 and up per assortment. State if Pot Baskets, Plant Baskets, Cut 

 Flower Baskets or Tumblers are wanted in the assortment.

was a source of unmixed gratification. 

 Various Notes. 



Max Schling, the prominent New 

 York retailer, will speak before the 

 Florists' Club in Horticultural hall Tues- 

 day evening, February 6, at 8 p. m. 



William J, Baker is fortunate in re- 

 ceiving excellent sprays of Asparagus 

 plumosus now. 



William H. Vance, of Wilmington, has 

 been most successful with sweet peas 

 during the last two months. 



The question is sometimes asked: 

 "Who are the men of the Philadelphia 

 Wholesale Florists' Exchange?" Wil- 

 liam A. Leonard, J. M. Deutscher, John 

 Cunningham and George Cook are the 

 men, hustlers all. They have just added 

 a Ford and Maxwell. Phil.

The Market. 



There was a great scarcity of all 

 kinds of stock during the last wetk, 

 and especially high prices prevailed on 

 roses. Everything was bought at sight. 

 No orders for roses were filled com- 

 pletely. The lowest price on roses was 

 $8, with the possible exception of a 

 few culls at $6, and from that they 

 went up to $20 per hundred. The stand- 

 ard prices seem to have been $12 and 

 $15 per hundred. The greatest scarcity 

 was in the red roses. Next in line of 

 scarcity came the white roses, which 

 were in heavy demand. 



Carnations are the scarcest of all 

 flowers. The price remains standard at 

 $6 per hundred, but in all probability 

 the situation will be less acute shortly 

 and the price will recede. There are 

 plenty of narcissi to be had and the re- 

 tailers have had to resort to these for 

 funeral pieces. It is the cheapest flower 

 to be had for filling in, being obtainable 

 at $3 per hundred. There have been 

 fine Golden Spur daffodils, bringing as 

 high as $6 per hundred. 



Good cattleyas were offered at $7.50 

 and $9 per dozen, but there were few 

 takers. There are plenty of cypripe- 

 diums to be had and they hang fire at 

 $1.50 per dozen. Gardenias are good 

 and sell better than formerly, at $3 per 

 dozen. 



Sweet peas sell at sight, the ordi- 

 nary varieties at $1 and $1.50 per hun- 

 dred and the Spencers at $2 and $2.50.
